ricojes Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 The following question was submitted today: Would you still take a chance on Chester Taylor even though the Vikes will probably have no passing attack to speak of? Can you say 8 man fronts? Without any mention of the Bills in previous posts Scott Engel comes back with: Brad Johnson will at least keep defenses honest, and he'll throw to Taylor a lot as well. That's not JP Losman back there. Thought the JP comment was unnecessary, but I guess it speaks to what FF "experts" think about him. I could care less about what Engel writes, but just thought it was a curious out of the blue comment to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how it's so hard for Bills fans to realize that Losman has looked like total garbage for his short lived career so far. We all have hopes that he'll improve, but c'mon, this observation shouldn't shock anyone. Here's hoping JP can prove em all wrong, but if everyone didn't have some serious doubts, well, let's just say you'd be up for homer of the year. We'll all find out this year. No way Holcomb sees the field that much this season. At least, barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I think you would have to be the ultimate homer to draft JP in your FF league. I hope the kid succeeds but I'm not willing to put any type of money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Total garbage" is not reading your own playbook. You have no idea what "total garbage" even means. Bashing Buffalo is just what the sports meadia likes to do. Don't make the mistake of thinking these boneheads actually know something. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when Engall has Willis high on his draft board.

He had 9 "starts" in 2005 (if you count KC last year), with 3 good games (Houston, KC, Miami) and 2 okay games (Carolina, SD). Not great; but not total grabage. 2) I also think the pundit was criticizing him for being a poor fantasy football player, not necessarily a poor player.

BoondckCL Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 FF experts are pretty much football's equivalent to Pokemon fanatics or star wars geeks. No one ever takes them seriously and they only know statistics and stupid sh-- like that. There is one thing that FF does not measure in a statistic column and that is leadership and heart.

He's been far from good, but he had some potential that just maybe you'll decide to hold onto him. 748578[/snapback] I think the comment dragging Losman in was unwarranted....especially there was no context in it.......There are other teams with equal question marks at the QB positions (Texans with Carr, SF wtih Alex Smith, Oakland with Brooks, Grossman with the Bears, Vick/Volek with the Titans etc....). On a side note, I think Alex Smith is going to surprise many people out there. His new OC is Norv Turner, the guy who shaped Troy Aikmans career....With a Vernon Davis as a super target, Alex Smith will have a decent year.

(You could make a case that Carr was below 6 yards per attempt last season, while running for his life, but he has historically been well above that benchmark, and he completed *60%* plus of his passes last year - something Losman barely even sniffed.) Again, there just seems to be a lack of realization among Bills fans that Losman's performance last season was *below* the level that most of us think of as being "bad." The only comparison with Losman from your list is with Alex Smith, and he, at least, was a rookie, and was playing on a team that was even more talent-starved than ours was. Alex Smith certainly didn't have a Willis McGahee, Eric Moulds, or Lee Evans on that team.... You also might have included Charlie Frye on your list, as he is certainly a question mark for the Browns at QB, except that oh, wait, he performed better than Losman too.... and as a rookie at that.....

Chilly Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Its ESPN. Seriously, thats all you need to know. Someone needs to compete wiht these dipshits so that Disney will fire everyone that keeps the ESPN Hype Machine going. Its getting ridiculous. Last night, after Reggie Bush rushed for 7 yards on 4 carries, ESPN focused on how he made "the cut" during sportscenter. They were praising him for making a cut-back and picking up a yard or two. Most of the coverage focused on their boy Reggie, instead of Terry Glenn or the other highlights. Wanna show Bush's performance and then cut to his interview talking about what its like? Fine. But stop trying to annoint him the player of the game after 4 yards on 7 carries. Show what really happened. Please, someone, compete with ESPN for the good of everyone.
