We will be in big big big trouble if JP only manages 2200 yds this year, that is only 137 yds/game.

2200 might have been a little low....But I also forsee that with JP being the

mobile QB, there is a good chance for him to get nicked and miss a few games..

 

I probably should have had more about 2700 yards....with about 150 to 180

yards a game....Remember we want him to manage the game...not win it by

himself....

Wow, you people (except dundy249) are very optimistic. If he plays that well, and our defense is good like its supposed to be.. we'll be in the playoffs.

That sets up a post for another topic (a prediction we'll be 9-7, losing the season finale to Baltimore to miss the playoffs, and beating Indy on the way), but here's my Losman projected stats, for what their worth (which is exactly $0.00):

 

3450 passing yards

21 TDs

13 INTs

58.5% completion

475 rushing yards

5 rushing TDs

 

42 sacks, 5 fumbles

2600 Yards

14 TD's

13 Ints

 

... he doesn't play the last 3 games.

200 yards a game is optimistic? thats nothing ... by your standards he is only throwing 15 less yards per game

I would be an extremely happy man come season end if this turns out to be true .... extremely happy.

Well, I don't have much time now, but I'll throw some numbers out there for us to look back on when someone digs out this thread after the season. If JP starts all 16 games:

 

3450 passing yards

19 TDs

15 INTs

61% completion rate

250 rushing yards

4 rushing TDs

 

46 sacks, 6 lost fumbles (4-5 from the sacks)

 

 

Not all on him:

8 delay of game penalties

Me too. I'm not sure I believe my own prediction, but until they're wrong, I'm holding out hope.

I think everyone should go back and edit their posts to include whether or not they think the performance they predicted will be good enough for JP to be seen as a long term option.

 

That being said:

 

2900 yds

18 TDs

16 INTs

 

4 Rushing TDs

 

 

And Yes, this will be good enough to:

 

A. Keep us out of the Brady Quinn Stakes

B. Earn JP the title of long term option as starting QB.

Hmmm..well based of of last years numbers where he threw for:

 

1,340 yds or 149 yds/game

 

8 TDS 8 INTs or .88 per game

 

25 (3.125/game)sacks

 

...and he also ran for:

 

154 yards or 17 yds/game

 

7 fumbles (.777/game)

 

0 TDS

 

... all in 9 games...

 

assuming he starts 7 more games this year and he is at least marginally better, the line is at least marginally better and Lee steps up like he has so far...then my numbers look somewhat like this...

 

He throws for:

 

3,025 yards or 189 yds/ game ( I figure that 40 yds more per game is not too high of an expectation of improvement given the new system, line, and maturity of both JP and Lee)

 

18 TDS (1.125/game) Lee hauls in 10 of them.

 

13 INTS 0r .8125 per game- Again, better line, more maturity... equals only .0675 in the way of per game improvement and its not too much to ask.

 

40 sacks (2.5/game) This is probably the biggest improvement because its a lil over half a sack a game less...but still I don't think its crazy.

 

Rushing:

 

336 yds or 21.0 yds / game An improvement of 4 yds per game.

 

3 TDS --up from 0 last year.

 

9 fumbles...(.5625/game) seems like alot but its a huge improvement from last year.

 

 

I hope it looks good to you guys!

4000 yards 25 td's and 14 int's also will lead the bills to a 9-7 record and if he catches a break early in the afc east schedule could even be 10-6 and a sniff of the playoffs.

I'd be happy with anything so long as he keeps improving from game to game as he did last season. He did improve the more he was on the field and has improved in the preseason and camp as well.

 

That being said, what I am expecting based on the following ASSumptions:

 

1) He starts and finishes all 16 games

2) The offensive line has improved

3) The system is truly more vertical than MM's

 

3,300 yards (a little over 200 ypg)

30 TD (around there)

15 INT (I'm expecting about a 2:1 TD/INT ratio -- maybe I'm drunk)

450 YDS rushing (about 40 a game)

5 Rushing TD

 

Of course that is best case scenario in my mind. But like I said, I'll take lesser numbers (even much lesser numbers) so long as he continues to show improvement.

Now that we are at the bye, would anyone care to revise their predictions????

I said 2700 yards.....and after 7 games JP has 1314 yards.....on pace for 3000 yards for the season.

I'm actually pretty confident. I thought people were being overly generous (optimistic) in this thread.

 

I said:

 

2900 yds.

18 TDs

16 INTs

 

4 Rushing TDs

 

He is on pace for:

 

3000 yds.

14 TDs

14 INTs

 

2 Rushing TDs

 

 

I think he will have a better second half and I expect him to throw more TDs than INTs.
