keepthefaith Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 This isn't about trent. He's still going to be here. This is about reviewing the history of Losman as the book is closing on his stay here. I'm happy form JP. Getting out of Buffalo is the best thing any young QB can do.
keepthefaith Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 This is what I mean about general football knowledge. Anyone that knows about football will tell you multiple coaches are a detriment to a young player, especially a QB, & one that requires more than average development at that. JP would have faired much better going to a team like Seattle where Holmgren would have tutored him properly. Absolutely.

Lets not argue it from that angle. That's just a reach at this point.

Bmwolf21 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 And part of reviewing Losman's history with the Bills is looking at what specific "experts" thought of him before the draft? I don't really understand what it is you're trying to do here. Looks more like he's trying to smoke out all the JP fanboys so he can "set them straight" about JP and update his little hit list of posters with man-crushes on JP. So far I think that includes The Dean, beerball and Flbillsfan#1.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah I want to get an idea of what the thinking was at the time ok?What were you saying on this pick? Due to the fact that it is absolutely 100% impossible to analyze a draft the day after it happens, I was most likely saying "Ok, we traded up in order to draft a quarterback. I hope he validates the trade by doing well." Even the most knowledgeable of football personnel can't be completely sure what to think of players until they've completed at least a season, maybe 2. After the 06 draft, everybody was saying "Texans are idiots, Mario Williams sucks, Reggie Bush is jeebus reincarnated". That's how much post-draft banter matters.

TheKing Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 sherman or mccarthy i think? Was he thinking that Losman was going to take over when favre retired ?
keepthefaith Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I don't know that that is true, but that's not the focus of the thread.Please stay on topic. Do I have to refer to Losman as a disaster to stay on topic or can talk about the Bills making a disaster of his early years qualify for "on topic".
Flbillsfan#1 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I don't even know BillsFan#1, I know the other two are losman devotees. But that really is not my purpose. What is the purpose of this thread then? Enlighten us.
TheKing Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Oh what about Jim Kelly he always seem to blurt out his opinions, what did he say?
TheKing Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Better yet what did Drew Bledsoe say at the time?
TheKing Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 What is the purpose of this thread then? Enlighten us. Don't be so paranoid I already discussed the purpose, I'd like to get to the topic instead.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Oh what about Jim Kelly he always seem to blurt out his opinions, what did he say? Why don't you research this stuff yourself? What Jim Kelly thought of Losman is completely irrelevant and nongermane to Losman's performance as a Bill. But again, if you really must know, look it up. There's a whole internet out there.
keepthefaith Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Better yet what did Drew Bledsoe say at the time? Drew got replaced by Brady, Losman and Romo. Just bad luck and timing for Drew.
TheKing Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Do I have to refer to Losman as a disaster to stay on topic or can talk about the Bills making a disaster of his early years qualify for "on topic". Being that he is on his way out anyways I don't think there is much harm in you using any pejoratives that you want, but I'm not a mod so I really cannot speak for the forum.
keepthefaith Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Do I have to refer to Losman as a disaster to stay on topic or can talk about the Bills making a disaster of his early years qualify for "on topic". Still waiting for you to clarify the rules of the thread. Come on it's getting late.
TheKing Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Drew got replaced by Brady, Losman and Romo. Just bad luck and timing for Drew. Do you recall him saying anything?
