Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I say no. But he's better than most people give him credit for.
outsidethebox Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 No he sucks. The great QB's complete 100% of there passes and never get sacked. I agree LSI. He will never please some people on this board.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 nope not yet. He's getting progressivly better, but he has a ways to go yet. When he can have these kind of games consistently then I'll say yeah he's a top tier qb.

Captain Hindsight Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I say no. But he's better than most people give him credit for. 792043[/snapback] he might be in the top 15 might not but teams will ahve to at least respect him now. i love his progress. Go JP and Go Bills!
meazza Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 He might be. There seems to be a low number of good qb's left in the league.
smokinandjokin Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I don't know if Losman is the 5th best QB, or the 15th best, or the 25th best. Of the four games they've played this year, I'd take Brady over Losman, and that's it. I'd MUCH rather have JP than Culpepper, Pennington, or Johnson. With CP and BJ in particular, I don't know how you can get excited about that b.s. offense they run. I tried supporting the 4-yard dumpoff last year with Holcomb and it was atrocious to watch. It's smart when it's the QB's release option, but it sucks when it's the entire offense. For the most part this year, Losman has been on. And when he's on, with his cannon, it is great to watch.
finknottle Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I say yes. He's better than most people give him credit for. 792043[/snapback] Solid big league Not even solid average, after only four games. Reason to be excited and optimistic? Yes. But the dust-bin of the league is full of qb's who played well the first four games of a season, only to melt down later. And we are only 2-2 after all.
Corp000085 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 As other posters have alluded to, its impossible to rank JP in the "middle of the pack". QBs in the nfl these days tend to be great (brady, manning) or complete crap (whoever's the QB of oakland, culpepper) with no inbetween... Can you rank JP above the frye guy from cleveland, or brunell, or drew brees? I don't know, and quite frankly, i don't really care! I'll take the JP we have now over the JP we had after 4 last year htough. He's shown great improvement and maturity this year. IF he continues his current progression, he'll be big league at the end of the season, but because of where he came from, he's not there yet. You've gotta go one step at a time before you reach the top. Losman continues to be solid and continues to make great throws. if he receives the support of his coaches (gameplanning) or his teammates (josh reed actually catching the friggin ball/peerless pretending his walter payton in the backfield), he'll be a pro bowler by the end of the year... Partly because of his development and play and partially because chaz batch, charlie frye, etc. are in his conference.
Fan in San Diego Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 He's getting better week after week ! Let's hope it continues !
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 He's getting better week after week ! Let's hope it continues ! 792096[/snapback] HE most likely will. Jp has improved hugely in his decision making
Tcali Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I say no. But he's better than most people give him credit for. 792043[/snapback] The QB situation in the league as a whole is just awful right now. top 15 means nothing. There are about 2 great QBs,6 good ones...and the rest are average(JP) to mediocre to horrible.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I have to admit Losman looked good today. 792337[/snapback] Most of his yards were after the catch, though...really, he didn't look any better than he did at Miami...
billfan63 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 If you had the choice would you take David Carr or JP?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I say no. But he's better than most people give him credit for. 792043[/snapback] So far, most of his stats are in the lower half or lower third of the league. But then, that includes sacks, interceptions, and fumbles. So while he's not having spectacular days chucking the ball, he is protecting the ball better than half the league. And I can live with that; it works for Roethlesberger and the Steelers.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 If you had the choice would you take David Carr or JP? 792344[/snapback] Jp. Yeah sure he doesn't still have the experience but I think he has more mobility.
Orton's Arm Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Most of his yards were after the catch, though...really, he didn't look any better than he did at Miami... 792340[/snapback]
East Brady Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Take it for what it's worth....... Jim Miller on sirius NFL driving home tonight " I've been very impressed with Losman and his steady improvement , if he continues to control the turnovers and play mistake free football the Bills are going to win alot of games because Dick J. is going to have his team ready to play each and every week"
