Billsjunkie Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/billsnfl/story/525511.html Makes since with JP stinkin up the joint and Edwards down for the count. Let's see what he has. With Jauron stumbling around the idea chances are good that he will either play or start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I know I will get laughed at but so be it...... I went to the Lions preseason game with the Bills when Hamdan started, and I will say his throws were on the money all night long, hitting guys in stride in the numbers......I know it was the Lions and players that dont play for them now, but still he has to throw the ball and make the right reads and he did really well...... Take it for what its worth.... But one things for sure, im not heading into next season with Trent & Hamdan as my #1 & #2 guys....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, if what you saw is ANY indication of Hamdan's ability, and he plays pretty well this Sunday, then why wouldn't Trent and Hamdan be your #1 & #2 next year? ESPECIALLY after the note Bob D. had in his column today, about JP's contract (only making $900,000, pretty cheap for a back-up). Hamdan would be as cheap as you could get. If he can't play for crap, he won't be here next year. Here's what I have a problem with; Jeremy White and Nick Mendola (WGR tards) didn't think this was even worthy of conversation. They said the notion of Hamdan playing ahead of JP was embarrassing. WAT. Seriously, how could you make any arguments for JP starting again? The guy is going to be gone and means NOTHING to this team. Besides that, he's awful. If Hamdan is that bad, why would he be on the roster? Don't tell me it's embarrassing to even discuss it because that's just foolish. Hamdan is on the roster and has never had a chance to play much in a regular season game. Don't just assume he's horrible because of his name. He could be terrible but at least lets find out for sure. Otherwise, who's signing these players and why is he still employed?

GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 They have nothing to lose, so I don't mind this move. Let's us know if we need to bring in two or three quarterbacks next season. That said... ... 6-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 “I wouldn’t say that I wouldn’t [play Hamdan],” Jauron said this week. “It will take a little bit of time in the next couple of days as we get ready for Denver. We’ll talk things over and see.” I don't really see this as a statement from Jauron saying that Hamden will play much. Definitely doesn't deserve the title: "Bills may let Hamdan play out string". All his statement means is you might see Hamden get in a few plays in the 4th when the game is out of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Not the way I'd hope to finish the season, but at this point it makes little sense to continue with JP. Give Hamdan a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I can see the future in my crystal ball. The Bills start Hamdan this week. He lights up the scoreboard against the NFL's worst defense. He has an average day against New England. A QB controversy is born. That said, I can't stand the thought of JP getting another start.

MRW Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've been hoping and hoping for JP to turn it around, but I really don't see the point of playing him now. Why not see what you have in Hamdan? Chances are it's nothing, but at a minimum it's one less unknown heading into next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If Loseman starts, I'll DVR the game and wait until I see the final score on Monday to determine if I'll watch the game or delete it. Most likely if Loseman starts, I'll delete it as he will lose the game again for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Watch us win the last two with Hamdan. Then we'll all be asking why the f**k Losman was starting when we were still in the chase. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'll all be asking why the f**k Losman was starting when we were still in the chase. PTR Personally, if that happens I'll be asking why the f**k Losman WASN'T starting the last two games, as our draft position will have undoubtedly suffered because of said wins.

I'm sure MANY on this board will DVR the game if JP starts................& will only watch it if the Bills lose, so they can come on the board & say, see I told you JP SUCKED.

zow2 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I had to DVR the Jets game...only to see the score flash on Live tv...Bills were up 27-24 with under 3 mins left. Even though the score spoiled it for me i was pumped that we might win. Then at the party i was at, a family member told me Bills lost again. I was like "WTF ?!? It better not be because of a JP blunder" and sure enough later that eve, i saw that it was. Such classic JP. If Hamdan gets the nod that shows you just how much the Bills coaches hate JP. They had absolutely no intention of playing Hamdan this season unless disaster struck. Nothing against Gibran, i can see him being a bit of a sack machine though. If he has some pocket presence, gets rid of the ball and makes a few plays i will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Give the guy a shot. What do they have to lose? Agreed. Cause for some concern though is this: The 27-year-old from Indiana University completed 30 of 47 passes for 258 yards and no touchdowns in four preseason games this year. He was sacked five times. He was sacked five times in 47 throws?! that's one sack every 9 throws! I say start him to see if he's gotten that under control!! RJ wasn't that bad!!!

I don't trust pre-season stats as far as I can throw them. And I should let you know I can't throw stats very far at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
