Gardinier Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 won't make the hire because Sherman wanted Losman in the draft. I deep down am not enamored with any of these selections-knowing Levy I doubt he is either. Wilson was impressed with Jauron when he was interviewed 2 years ago-I came down to Jauron and Mularkey. What is next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is next? 570204[/snapback] No, he won't hire Sherman simply for that reason, but you're crazy if you don't think Levy will consider how his HC choice fits his existing roster. The fact that Sherman liked Losman and presumably still does WILL have some influence, especially once Sherman explains why he believes Losman would fit so well in his offense.

Gotta Dream Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 There is no way that we can afford him. Sad, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 There is no way that we can afford him. Sad, but true. 570212[/snapback] The Packers owe him 3.2 million, less whatever we pay him this year. Makes it a little easier to swallow, I think.

What is next? 570204[/snapback] I don't understand your point. Levy won't hire Sherman, because Sherman liked Losman, who is currently on the Bills roster? Am I missing something? Wouldn't that increase the likelihood of Sherman getting hired? I know Marv is already on record as saying the Bills needed a "vetran QB" (not a ringing endorsement of Holcomb or Losman), but I don't know that he is writing off Losman yet. Think of this angle. Brett Favre said at one point, late in the season, if Mike Sherman was not in Green Bay next year, it would factor in his decision to retire. How about the Bills hiring Sherman, and finding a way to bring Favre with him? I know it is an unlikely scenario, but Marv would have his vetran QB, Losman would have his stylistic tutor, and the Bills would sell a phenominal amount of merchendise, and get more press coverage than they have had in well over a decade. Of course the only problem with this pipe dream is that there would be no reason for Favre to go along with it (unless he loves Sherman that much), and there is that salary cap problem to work around...maybe we could trade TO for Favre~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The "veteran quarterback" thing is scary. Holcomb is about as good as you're going to get in the "veteran quarterback" market (maybe Dallas will let Drew go?) I suspect we have to find out whether JP Losman is a good quarterback or not which means getting a line (solving our problems with protection as Peyton might say) and putting him out there to produce or not. If he doesn't we will probably have to draft one in the 2007 draft. I hope we don't waste any draft choices on a "veteran quarterback." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that Sherman will win because he wanted Losman to suceed Farve. It's a win , win WIN situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 What makes you say that? 570797[/snapback] I think that if he said we need to groom a new rookie QB then thats worse for Losman.....With Holcomb being the "veteren" I think Levy was saying that we need a veteran in case the new kid goes down, that Holcomb has flaws and just isn't good enough.... Just my opinion though....I could be wrong...Ive been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Holcomb is our veteran QB. 570804[/snapback] True, but I have a hard time believing that he is thrilled with JP if he is calling for a veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps CLE will move Difler and go with Charlie Frye. I don't study rosters, but in seems like there aren't a lot of 2 - 3 year qb's out there, like Volek or Delhomme were, waiting for their shot. It will be interesting to see what MIA does with Rosenfels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is next? 570204[/snapback] I'm not sure I even understand this statement. Sherman wanted Losman. The Bills have Losman. If Sherman can impress Marv with his philosophy and plan, it certainly sounds like the perfect fit. Do you for some reason believe that Marv has "given up" on Losman? If so, that's preposterous. Unlike 90% of fans, a guy like Marv looks at more than a stat line to evaluate a player. I think most would agree that Losman was not exactly put in a position to succeed this year. He had his share of struggles, but he also showed flashes of the skill set that led the Bills to draft him. Put him behind a real OL, with a real OC and gameplan, and see what he can do.
