Guest BackInDaDay Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 True, but I have a hard time believing that he is thrilled with JP if he is calling for a veteran. 570810[/snapback] Marv had Gilbert carry a clipboard for years behind Kelly and Reich. That's where young QBs belong in his 'old school' offensive mentality. Nothing wrong with that, unless something different's being sold to the fans (right TD?). I believe, as TOMCAT does, that if Marv isn't impressed with our current 'veteran' QB, then he'll make it a priority to find another, or learn to live with a 3-year man with little experience. If the latter is an option that Marv can live with, then Sherman's opinion of Losman carries weight in the interview. Remember, Marv didn't have to break Kelly in. He just saddled him up and rode. Thing is, there are no ready-made, high-caliber QBs out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This guy actually completed more than two passes while he was there...... 570828[/snapback] Hadn't the previous guy won a game for Jax causing much excitement when we brought him in ? Forgive me if my memory fades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick in* england Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The thought of taking on a Jax back-up as our starter gives me the shudders. 570825[/snapback] Hmmm but I know Miami fans who are pining for Garrard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Or wjat Jax do with Garrard... 570813[/snapback] IIRC, garrard signed an extension with jax last off-season. he apparently is happy being the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeBill Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I know Marv is already on record as saying the Bills needed a "vetran QB"570472[/snapback] JP is igoing into his 3rd year now. Isn't that Veteran enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 JP is igoing into his 3rd year now. Isn't that Veteran enough? 570962[/snapback] I don't know, but in one of the recent PC's, I think the one where they announced that Mularkey was staying, Marv said "you need a vetran quarterback", whatever that means. As a coach, we all remember how reluctant he was to go with rookies. If I remember, Thurman didn't even see the bulk of the playing time, until after midway in his first season. In all of the "ecitement" of the last few weeks, it is still unclear where the Bills new management stands on Losman...I assume they will keep Holcomb around, at least as a backup.

Beerball Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm drooling at the possibility of having Favre in a Bills uni. Even if it is just a dream. 570478[/snapback] JP? That you JP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 JP? That you JP? 571141[/snapback] Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney. Neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
