When do they STOP when it comes to Losman?
Yes, the offensive line is mediocre at best.. Yes, Gandy got abused for the second straight week. Yes, Priority #1 (or maybe 2) next off-season needs to be the OL.. Yes, on a lot of plays no QB in the NFL can suceed when they have no blocking.
But knock it off with blaming the OL nearly 100% for Losman's mistakes. I counted TODAY at least three sacks where Losman held the ball far too long. The sack before the half was bush league quarterbacking, there wasnt a forced throw on his TELEGRAPHED interception, neither was there on the one Dre Bly flat-out dropped.. There wasnt pressure on him with two of the three picks he threw last week, and there wasnt pressure on him when he almost got his running back's skull taken off today because he hung him out to dry on a simple 3-yard pass...
I dont hate Losman (though Im getting closer every week to it) and I understand he needs a better line around him.. But his decision making has been AWFUL, his TUNNEL VISION is getting worse and worse and once he commits to something there is no Plan B..
Yes, he's young.. yes, he hasnt had that many starts.. But this is his third year in the NFL and back to back weeks now he's regressing. Chicago was a Mulligan, they make all QB's look bad.. Today though, please.. STop the excuses already.
Yes, he had a highlight TD that will be on Sportscenter Multiple times later.. But when you throw FOUR TELEGRAPHED picks in two games (which could easily be six) you can keep your highlights. Gimme a guy who will throw the ball away.. Remember, Coach Jauron (ha) says Its "Ok to punt"
