False!
On the contrary, I want this team to flourish. However, I have no confidence in JP. From what I’ve seen, I don’t think he has what it takes to be an NFL QB. That being said, I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again. Although it sounds Cheesy, I’ll behind JP 110% if he wins the job. Wanting nothing more then to have him become the best QB in the NFL.
The problem is, I just don’t think he’s going to be any good. And I’m not willing (unlike many here) to sacrifice an entire NFL season just so that we can see if 1 guy can play or can’t play. IMO, if indications in Training camp and preseason point to the trend that JP can’t play and even more, can’t beat out KH, then I don’t see why we waste our time with him.
I understand that some QB’s need time to develop but at the same time, some guys play and play and play and remain terrible. How much time to we give someone. The JP fans want another 16 full games for a total of 24 games. A lot of NFL QB’s didn’t get 24 full games to determine their quality.
Wasting time? Again, the disagreement to this point is simply ideology. I just so happen to believe that a 9-7 season with KH starting CAN be considered a success. We have a very young team and it would be nice to start to develop winning attitudes. It’s not acceptable to me to say, “Let JP go all 16 and if he stinks and we finish 0-16 at least we’ll get the first overall pick”.
Holcomb fan? No, I’m not a Holcomb fan, I’m a Bills fan. And just like you I want what’s best for the team. It’s not uncommon that 2 people could have different views on what’s best for the team. And I understand your view and would hope for it’s success if it came to fruition. Please do not let my arguments fool you, simply because I don’t think JP is going to be any good, doesn’t mean I don’t like the guy and wouldn’t root for him. I think too often in this place we think that the other guy will get angry if their guy isn’t the pick. I’m guilty of that myself. If JP wins the job, I won’t care one bit. I’ll think that the coaches must have saw something and I’ll hope that I’ll see it soon.
It’s tough for me to see you guys doing the same thing but I’m sure you would. I tried to make an example of KH starting and going 4-0 but in true MB fashion the thread was beseeched with posts of “IT’LL NEVER HAPPEN” instead of us getting into a nice discussion. But I can’t imagine someone like Mikey or Phil for example sitting on his couch and getting angry because KH in week one is 26-30 for 325 yards and 3TD’s in a 38-3 rout of New England. I’m sure all of the JP fans would forget that he’s on the bench for just a few minutes and enjoy the game.
I’d prefer that Holcomb gets the job. If only because I like instant gratification and I strongly feel that in the early part of the season, we’re more likely to be in games with him at QB. But if JP wins the job, I’ll be there watching the games and hoping that it clicks and he totally makes me look like a jerk by proving me wrong.
