PromoTheRobot Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/analysis/ne...gue=fantasy/nfl QB Rank #26: J.P. Losman, Buf Losman certainly has talent at the skill positions around him, with Willis McGahee at tailback and receivers Eric Moulds and Lee Evans. What he lacks right now is the healthy tight end that is the staple of all systems involving a young QB. Evans will offer the home run threat to keep defenses honest, and Eric Moulds should approach his standard numbers. However, this offense will go as far as McGahee and the O-Line (who have already lost two backups for the year) will take them. Look for a Roethlisberger-like 2004 season, with a couple more shots downfield. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Nope, same situation which is a health and skill question mark. Specifically: Starter: Campbell- Showed some real improvement last year over the 7th round drad=ft pick value the Bills traded to get him unitl an ACL tear put him on IR. The rap on Campbell which made the Browns willing to part with him pretty cheaply was that he was a good (but not great) blocker and not much of a receiver at all. However, for the Bills he turned into a reliable (but not great) pass-catcher with Bledsoe. However he really took a step up in receiving last year finishing with 5 and catching 3 in one game before the injury struck him down. He remained a solid blocker with TH putting up good yards and then WM running well behind. Despite putting up some good numbers he is a health question mark. He has looked good so far, but other players have taken as much as a year and a half after an ACL tear to get back to their past performance. Campbell has just hit the 30 year point and will be doing extraordinarily well to merely recover to his past level not to mention him continuing to develop to become the TE we want and need. Health Quotient: Hopeful but definitely on the watch list. Everett- IR and gone for this speedy receiving threat who if he was here would make the Bills a better O simply through the threat he provided while DCs figured out how to deal with Evans, Moulds and Parrish speed. Health Quotient: Out Euhus- Showed some promise last year but again an ACL tear put this TE on IR. He seemed more likely to come back than Campbell as initially it was unclear whether this injury would even require surgery and he is a young guy. However, in addition to the ACL recovery issues he missed the last two pre-season games with a should ouchee. If he was held out as a precaution and he is fine then OK. If he misses some real gametime with an injury to a different part of his body he is one hurt away from being reasonably declare injury prone. Health Quotient: Watch intently. Neufeld- Healthy but seems to be a better H-Back and ST guy than position player at TE. There are simply quality questions here if the Bills need to rely on him at TE. Health Quotient: Good Peters- The Buffalo News says in a pinch he can play TE and he lined up there during the Exhibition season after Euhus went down. The commitment to him seems to be at LT where he is on the depth chart ahead of the journeyman but far more experience Jerman. However, the health issues for out top 3 TE starters may create that pinch the BN was talking about. Health Quotient: Good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust the staff thinks they are both ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
