Right now, what other team in the NFL would consider starting J.P. Losman if he was on their team? Be honest here, seriously. You have to consider the team's situation and who the coach is:

Buffalo -- yes
New England -- no
Miami -- no
NY Jets -- no

Cincinnati -- no
Pittsburgh -- no
Clevelend -- maybe, although I have doubts to whether Crennel would choose Losman over Frye
Baltimore -- no

Indianapolis -- no
Houston -- no
Jacksonville -- no
Tennessee -- no

San Diego -- no
Denver -- no
Oakland -- probably yes, this would probably be his best fit other than Buffalo
Kansas City -- no, at least probably not

Philadelphia -- no
NY Giants -- no
Washington -- no
Dallas -- no

Detroit -- no, I thought about it, but Kitna clearly outplayed J.P. last week, so no
Minnesota -- no
Chicago -- no
Green Bay -- no

New Orleans -- no
Atlanta -- no
Carolina -- no
Tampa Bay -- probably not, can't see Losman w/ Gruden

St. Louis -- no
San Francisco -- no
Arizona -- no
Seattle -- no

I am not saying J.P. can't become a good quarterback. Heck, I'm not even saying that he is completely worthless right now. The fact remains though, most of these teams would not start him as he is playing right now, given their situations and who they have on their rosters. It's coincidental somewhat, but the Bills are the bottom of the barrel, and while it's not all Losman's fault by any stretch, he is not an asset to us yet.

So all we need is for Oakland to start winning some games so we can get Quinn?

Problem is, I'm not sure how good Quinn really will be in the pros. Could be Joe Montana, could be Rick Mirer.

I think you made a mistake with Frye.

Frye looks to me like he might have some ability.

Agreed. That's why I said "maybe." I'm giving J.P. the benefit of the doubt that Crennel would look at him also as a young guy that is showing some potential and would consider it. One could argue that Frye would be the choice going away.

True.

That could be said for anyone who's drafted.

All im saying is if Quinn is on the board when the Bills pick they have to pick him.

Irrelevant point. What's that say other than most teams have a QB, and of course a coach would go with the guy he knows? Many other QBs -- say, Plummer, Kitna, Bledsoe, Carr, Grossman, Brunell, Johnson, any Miami QB, for example -- wouldn't be able to get a job anywhere else either unless there were a vacancy. There are few dependably good QBs in the league right now.

Um, most of those guys (if not all) would be starting for the Bills if they were here.....

Raiders, Chiefs, Browns, Bucs, and some others would strongly consider some of these guys also, not to mention the teams that wouldn't have them on their rosters anymore (Redskins, Bears, Lions, Texans, etc.).

I guess maybe Wash. would be looking beyond Brunnell at this point since they lost to Vince Young, the rookie who "looked like a veteran" (jeff fisher) last week. Maybe if they had a property like JP Losman they would be willing to wait through five or six years of losing seasons to see if he'll pan out.

Gregg Williams would be a perfect fit for J.P.!

They have Jason Campbell too though. So no, even in "sarcastic world" it wouldn't pan out for J.P.

Actually I think the list is very faulty as most team have the QB of the future lined up. When you think about it you are considering Oakland, Miami, Green Bay, and Baltimore as possibly going afer a QB in the first round and a lot of them have previously drafted a QB of the future, and might be reluctant to invest another first round pick. I can see it being similar to the draft of 2005 where QBs could go into free fall as other teams pick other needs.

Maybe they'd get killed, but they'd start over Losman.

I'm not a Kelly Holcomb fan. We got rid of 22 guys from last year because we were "upgrading" the roster this year. Holcomb was 4-4 with that crew. That's almost unbelievable. That being said, I don't think he can play now, his arm seems to be completely shot.

I'm not talking about the future, I'm talking about now. McNair starts over Losman, Favre starts over Losman, Culpepper starts over Losman. If you consider the guy of the future on the team, that puts Losman even further down the depth chart.

Thanks for helping me with making my point.

Yeah, we've really upgraded :rofl:

JP has not had the worst season in the league. He's had three good games, one bad, and two mixed. He's still in the mid-range of the pack. He hasn't made any mistakes that veteran starters don't make too. Veterans take safeties, veterans throw INTs, veterans take bad sacks, veterans throw off-target passes. While he needs to cut down on them, they're a minority of his plays and are NOT indicative of his overall development, only that he's still developing with less than a full season of actual game action, which is overwhelmingly the most significant standard for experience.

By the way, besides Carr and Harrington, every player you listed here has playoff starting experience, if not Super Bowl experience. That's a huge advantage that these guys have over Losman.

I agree, he has not had the worst season in the league. I also agree he's had a few decent games. However, he's also padded his stats by picking up a lot of table scraps in trash time. That all being said, at the end of the day, he and the team have not gotten it done. Not all is fault, but true. Like I said, it's interesting to see right now that he probably would be hard pressed to start on 1 or 2 other teams. That's all I'm saying.

I think the underlying difference here are the intangibles that stats don't cover. Poise, control, leadership. These are all things Losman needs to build on. Then maybe I'd change the opinion of him being able to start on other teams.

Seriously though, it's an interesting relevant discussion. I'm not saying I hate the guy, he's totally worthless, he's had 6 bad games, or the team has lost 4 games strictly because of him. But he is one of the worst starters in the league right now, arguably the worst, right now. He's not showing he's a solid starter in this league yet. It's just not happening yet.

You're right. Maybe this will change by the end of the year, or in a few years. Right now it's not though, and I think that's important for all of the J.P.-lovers to consider.

What those who aren't willing to give up on him are considering is that it's six weeks into the season, and this is a bad team. We knew he would make bad plays. We knew that he's not the type of QB with Leinart pedigree who can succeed right away, that he's a project who will take time. What's the hurry? This team isn't going anywhere. He's not holding back an otherwise good team. There aren't many "solid starters" on this team at all.

I agree with this statement. Arguably only 10-15 guys on this team could start anywhere else. This really isn't directed at you, as you seem to be logical. However, most J.P.-lovers on this board seem to think we should shun Leinart, Cutler, etc. because J.P. is where it's at. Well, right now he's not. He wouldn't start anywhere else (maybe Oakland), and all of the other starters would probably start here, hands down. All I'm saying is, that says something. Things may change. Hopefully they do. But that's where we're at right now.

Jon

I actually rooted for drafting Leinhart if the Bills believed that JP wasnt the answer. Go ahead check the posts, its all there.

The Bills front office chose NOT to draft Leinhart. Its now a moot point.

If Leinhart was on this team, IMO JP would NOT be.

But, I dont want to be a clown who wont answer a direct question.

I would probably start Leinhart. His last games shows he has a hot hand. Now, the question is will it continue? I honestly believe it wont. I think he will fall flat on his face for a few games and it will only point out that young QB's play like young QB's unless they have a SB supporting cast. Im not sure that the Cards do, and I KNOW that we dont.

Now I will answer the question you should have asked. Is JP our answer?

My answer is the jury is out. I dont honestly know how much of the teams losses are due to him or are due to the team not being good enough. Furthermore, I think if we improve our overall talent level at a few key spots, JP will flourish and will in fact become all we need. Are there other QB's who could do it? sure, probably. Leinhart? who the hell knows. We are talking about the guy after 2 games.

The better question is, will the Bills get any other guy likely to take us to the promise land? My honest answer is no until the JP era is over. And even then, they have a poor track record of getting a guy with a good chance.

Im not willing to concede that yet. For every Peyton, theres a Leaf, Couch, Smith.

And then you can land a Brady every now and again.

Lets take a look at Leinharts first 13 stars vs. JP's when he gets there. I bet it will be strikingly similar.

Furthermore, I honestly think the Cards have more talent on O.

McGahee inst Edge, yet at least.

Evans may be Boldin or Fitz but even thats arguable. Our other WR ISNT either of them.

Their o-line is probably about as good as ours overall.

I have said over and over that if we get serious and get JP some talent around him that he, and yes many other QB's, would flourish.

I continue to believe that our talent at the skill positions is not good enough overall, I would keep Evans, but after that I could argue for upgrades.

On a personal level I dont like Lienhart. So I hope you're right. But from what I see he looks very composed. He throws the ball with accuracy consistently.

He looks like he knows where to go with the ball. What he did in that Chicago is unlikely to be a fluke.

Is that going to be your excuse for EVERY QB comparison?? Seriously? Their RB is better than ours.. Their 3rd WR is better than ours... Their tight end can run a 10 yard out quicker than ours.. Their right guard can pick up a stunk faster than ours??

Reading comprehension might help you.

Fitz and Boldin are 1 and 1a.

Edge isnt better than McGahee? Please give some facts here.

Roth didnt benefit from a SB caliper team?

THATS my point.

Its no excuse. There will be times when we will need our QB to win us games.

But, IMO, it shouldnt be this early in his career and as often as it has been.

That said, ANY QB we stick with should be able to carry the team every now and again. But theres a big difference between every now and again and every damn game and thats where we are now.

Lets spread the excuses around. You just deflected some criticism from McGahee, isnt he part of the problem?

Mr. Cynical
10-19-2006, 09:42 PM
So all we need is for Oakland to start winning some games so we can get Quinn?

To be honest, part of me feels like we're already on the clock. I predicted 5-11, but if JP isn't the guy, there's no point to even get 5 wins. I'd rather go 2-14 and get whomever we want in the draft.

Still, there's one other problem even if we get the #1 pick - Dick will still be the HC.

All the "(insert team name) is better than Buffalo hence the QB has it easier" arguments go out the window with Leinart. The Cards suck, and altho he has made mistakes, he looks twice as poised as JP and acts like he should be there, even tho this is is rookie year.

Play JP the rest of the year - we have no choice - but the excuses are growing thinner by the day.

Oakland yes. Washington? I don't think so. Joe Gibbs starting Losman on a team where he could start a veteran? I'm not sure Losman could beat out Jason Campbell. Do you really think Joe Gibbs would start Losman on a team with all of those high-priced veterans? With Gregg Williams around?

Detroit? What about last week's game? Kitna clearly outplayed Losman. I don't think Martz would go with J.P. over Kitna at all, and McCown is probably a tossup.

Five crappiest starting quarterbacks is a compliment.

Repost question: What other teams in the NFL could J.P. Losman start for? Even Andrew Walter is looking better at this point...

I actually rooted for drafting Leinhart if the Bills believed that JP wasnt the answer. Go ahead check the posts, its all there.

The Bills front office chose NOT to draft Leinhart. Its now a moot point.

If Leinhart was on this team, IMO JP would NOT be.

But, I dont want to be a clown who wont answer a direct question.

I would probably start Leinhart. His last games shows he has a hot hand. Now, the question is will it continue? I honestly believe it wont. I think he will fall flat on his face for a few games and it will only point out that young QB's play like young QB's unless they have a SB supporting cast. Im not sure that the Cards do, and I KNOW that we dont.

Now I will answer the question you should have asked. Is JP our answer?

My answer is the jury is out. I dont honestly know how much of the teams losses are due to him or are due to the team not being good enough. Furthermore, I think if we improve our overall talent level at a few key spots, JP will flourish and will in fact become all we need. Are there other QB's who could do it? sure, probably. Leinhart? who the hell knows. We are talking about the guy after 2 games.

The better question is, will the Bills get any other guy likely to take us to the promise land? My honest answer is no until the JP era is over. And even then, they have a poor track record of getting a guy with a good chance.

For some reason, this makes me feel good.

What we have is nothing unusual, some just dont want to see it.
