firstngoal Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Losman has the ability to be a decent NFL QB if he can hold onto the football and cut down on his mistakes....but even if he does pan out I'm not sure he will ever be as good as either Matt Leinart or Jay Cutler two QB's that we passed up in the Draft.

Brandon Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Both may one day become good NFL QBs, but to this point, they've proven even less in the NFL than JP Losman. I'm not too worried that we passed over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutler could be another story but ML was just not a fit for Buffalo. Also Cutler has played once, in a preseason game. We may not know much about him til atleast next season.

Corp000085 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 my advice is for you to get over it... Losman's our guy... If he does well, then great... TD actually did something right. If not, release him after this year and roll with another option at QB. But nitpicking over other QBs is fruitless... Had this board been alive in 1983-1986, it would have crashed daily discussing how we picked up some snobby guy who wouldn't play for us and chose the USFL instead of dan marino.

Moose Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 When the temperature dips below 50º, Leinart thinks it's cold. B-r-r-r-r-r! While he may turn out to be a decent QB in a warm-climate or dome-playing team, it would have been idiotic for the Bills to draft him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly made his share of bonehead plays but they were the exception and were quickly overlooked when the next gems were made and because he was family. Losman makes a gaff and the loudmouth drunk starts with Flute and 0-16 chants. If you want instant gratification; masturbate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything I've seen and heard, Jp is the only one of the three that can really make this offense go. They really do plan on stretching the field alot, it is obvious both in practice and in games. He has shown that ability from the start this year and in the game last night. But the turnovers cannot continue to be a trend with him Nall managed a good game last night, which is important and good for him He doesn't appear to have the same abilites to throw the longer out and in routes, although he seems far superior to KH in that dept. He deserves a chance in this thing still, but only if JP doesn't show progress in the areas of concern above. Before and after the injury, Nall has thrown atleast as many poor passes in camp as Holcomb has. Holcomb is a shell of his former self, which was no great shakes to begin with. He has gone from a backup that I feel very comfortable with to a guy that looks out of his element in this new offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is a winner (see last year's ND game) who managed a complex offense for three incredibly productive years. Until JP proves he is a legitimate starting QB or Leinhart falls flat on his face, the comparisons and "what-ifs" are valid IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
