Losman Throws A Great Deep Ball-That Makes Him The Starter

[Night Train]

Watching the local Channel 4 sports at 6. Losman is shown hitting Parrish and Evans in perfect stride on the bomb. That's they key difference.

They interviewed Whitner. He looks like a small LB playing safety. What a powerful build.

He's cut, I was just watching him on multi-media. Receiver's beware, catch a ball and don't lose your head.

It's more important to be accurate then it is to be able to throw the ball long.

"The times that I watched him I thought he made some good throws and the ones that stand out are the deep throws down the field," said Jauron of Losman. "But you've got to have them all because those short ones keep those sticks moving and keep your defense off the field."

IMO, this quote from Dick means KH is going to get the nod.

I think it means he wants JP to learn to connect the short ones as well.

Dick hinted he is going by seniority this saturday or reverse seniority.


A) Jp was on the team first so he's got seniority?

B) KH is older, does this mean he's more senior?

C) since he said seniority or reverse - could it mean JP is more senior since he's been w/ the team longer and the reverse means he's younger.

D) vise versa of C.

E) He's starting Ralphy.

Re: Losman Throws A Great Deep Ball-That Makes Him The Starter

If DJ wants his QB to "have them all," why on earth would he want Holcomb? What I don't get is I kept hearing about us having a "vertical" passing game ... we signed speedsters Davis and Price ... how can any of that be used with Holcomb?

A five-yard pass on 3rd and 9 won't move the sticks.

It seems he's biased in favor of Holcomb because he's a veteran and he's a "safe" QB. Which means, the rest of the team has to win the game and Holcomb just won't lose it. That might work half the time.
If your goal is mediocrity, Holcomb's your man.

I'm starting to agree with you. I think we are going to see alot of 5 yard passes on 3rd and 9 this year.

maybe the reporter was asking him about Losman's deep throws. Why would he comment about Holcomb?

Re: Losman Throws A Great Deep Ball-That Makes Him The Starter

If a team wants to succeed with a safe caretaker QB, it needs a killer running game and defense. We'd need a miraculous turnaround from last year in both areas.

It's called "reading between the lines".

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REPORT. THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY. USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.

Not when you are accurate with the longball.

Its F) Marv decided since he can't coach he will QB the team

Re: Losman Throws A Great Deep Ball-That Makes Him The Starter

The fact that Losman throws a better long ball doesn't mean jack. You need to have a complete game man. And all Dick is doing is challenging his young QB to improve every aspect of his game. You must be able to go through all of your progressions and hit your last read (McGahee wide open in center field) rather than forcing the deep pass.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if Kelly started this weekend. More motivation for J.P. to go out and prove his worth to this team. I wouldn't want it any other way. If J.P. is not starting this weekend, I will bet all my ZB's that he is starting by the second game meaning he will out play Holcomb this weekend.

Any takers?

Re: Losman Throws A Great Deep Ball-That Makes Him The Starter

The one undisputed asset we have on this team is speed at WR. Evans, Price, Parrish and Davis can all burn. I think our fast and deep receiving corps could be the one thing that sets us apart from other teams

We basically lose that whole advantage with Holcomb.
