sds7973 Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Everbody.. Together on 3 1.. 2.. 3.. Bye Bye Kelly Holcomb Bye Bye Drove that old arm into the ground, and drank all my whiskey and rye.
Dibs Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 More than anything else, I want to see Nall start because of what all the GB fans were saying about him when we signed him. He wasn't a perfect in practice kind of guy, but when he stepped on the field he got the job done. I'd like to see him get his shot. If he fails, so be it. On with JP. 746927[/snapback] I'd be happy for this also....though not because of his performance today. It would be beneficial to 'actually' see what he can do.

On with JP. 746927[/snapback] The third pre-season game is the tune up game for the starters for the regular season. Teams game plan and use their starters for at least the half. The starting QB needs to be named this week in order for the O to have any kind of continuity. I was all for Nall getting a real shot at the job but his injury prevented that. It's too bad for Nall but the team has to move on and get the entire offense on the same page. They can't do that with a QB flip flop every game, particularly for this one.
jarthur31 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Posted August 19, 2006 Pretty valid. 746925[/snapback] Not really since Willis is the undisputed starter.
MDH Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I know what you're getting at but cmon. Is that really a valid comparison to the qb situation? 746921[/snapback] I wasn't really commenting on the QB situation, I was making a remark about the logic used in a previous post.

But just because JP might be named the starter for the season, it doesn't mean that Nall can't win the job if JP falters and Nall plays well in relief.

Its too late in the preseason to keep depriving the eventual starter of practice snaps. Losman should be the opening day starter. How long he keeps the job is up to him.

I mean does it matter for one more week at this point. If I'm Dickey I would start Nall for the first half and JP for the second end of story. It's not like were the Indy Colts......
The Big Cat Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Nall should start next week if you want to use the same criteria that promoted Losman last week. He did well, moved the team and didn't turn the ball over. Plus had as many TDs as Losman. He was by far the best QB out there tonight for the Bills. 746916[/snapback] okay nobody can compare the qbs because they each played against different defensive squads. BUT! Nall DID make the most of HIS situation and I believe he deserves the nod in the third preseason game...only fair. JP didn't play well enough to secure the outright starting pos IMO

Alaska Darin Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Get off the CRACK! retard 746911[/snapback] Lighten up, FNG. RMPL.
sds7973 Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 My Final QB Roster spots #1 JP #2 Nall #3 Holcomb (Should be cut) OUT!
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Why can't the fourth game be the "dress rehersal"? I mean does it matter for one more week at this point. Because other teams don't use it as one. It's starters against starters in the first half in the 3rd pre-season game, and mostly scrubs in the 4th pre-season game. If I'm Dickey I would start Nall for the first half and JP for the second end of story. It's not like were the Indy Colts...... Nall has missed too much time.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 furthermore, if this is a rebuilding year, let's treat it as such...give Nall a chance PS I love JP Why give Nall a chance if it's a rebuilding year? He's been in the NFL for 5 years and the Packers gave-up on him and drafted a replacement LAST year for Favre, and let him go this year. If anything, your argument says we should start JP regardless and if he falters, cut him next year and bring in a new guy to compete with Nall.

But who can say for certain that JP is the superior quarterback at this point? Nall chose to leave Green Bay because the cards were stacked against him.
BoondckCL Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 The main argument is not wether or not to start Losman or not. Losman will be the starter, and it is about time that you guys realize that this is a rebuilding year. Things don't come together over night for a team. I have tried to explain this before but nobody wants to listen. Losman should start the whole season and get his growing pains out of the way now. He didn't get to last year because of the people in Bills nation and now he is one more year away from actually delivering for this team. So yes, start Losman the whole year and you might want to give him a shot next year as well. He made real strides tonight, but people need to realize that this team is not going anywhere this year. WAKE UP.
Rico Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Exactly what I've been saying. With Nall, it's "too little, too late." But just because JP might be named the starter for the season, it doesn't mean that Nall can't win the job if JP falters and Nall plays well in relief. 746936[/snapback] Like KH against the Dolphins & Jets last year? I say IF JP wins this competition, you let him play no matter what. Friggin' Meathead, this mess should've been answered last year.
ajzepp Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Friggin' Meathead, this mess should've been answered last year. 746966[/snapback] I'm so glad that jackass is outta here....

Nall chose to leave Green Bay because the cards were stacked against him. At this point, after missing over 2 weeks with an injury, I CAN say that JP is the better QB. He should be the opening day starter and Nall should be made the backup and given an opportunity to be the starter later-on. As for GB, Nall's lackluster play forced GB to draft Rodgers.
