    When does Losman start to deserve criticism?

    Those that support him now, when is a good time to start bashing him if he continues to play like he has recently? Next game? 3 games? 5 games? 1 season? 3 seasons?

    He's deserved plenty of criticism so far. What he doesn't deserve is being called a bust.

      When he is no longer a Bill. I have to show my support for current Bills. When the Dolphins sign JP this off-season then I will be laughing my ass off.

        agreed...and he's received plenty of criticism from those of us who are level-headed and don't suffer from a pathological hatred of the guy

          I guess my response is that JP deserves to be criticized, but that he doesnt deserve to be treated as if he has no chance to get better. He does, and IMO will.

          But, there absolutely IS a asterix next to his results and that asterix means hes young. Like it, hate it, whatever, young QB's make inexperienced mistakes.

          I feel its ridiculous or better yet illogical to treat him as a seasoned vet, hes neither seasoned or a vet.

            Ill critisize him when I feel that everyone else is doing their job at least decently. As in O-line is pass blocking and run blocking well enough to set up the pass. But as long as he has to consantly deal with pressure in his face, then he as a QB cant be evaluated properly.

                I was down on this team before the season began, but actually, I think JP has done ok. The offensive line and defensive line is another story....

                  All QBs get pressured.

                            Yep. That's called being objective.

                              like any other player, Losman deserves criticism any time he plays poorly. He was pathetic against Chicago and was pretty damn bad for the first half of the Lions game.

                              what he doesn't deserve is people calling for his head, at least not until the end of the season. I said this the whole off-season and I'll say it again now- this year is Losman's chance. If he doesn't get significantly better over the course of the season, it's time to ditch him and cut our losses. It's a scary thought cuz it means spending another 2-3 seasons grooming some other QB, but if Losman's not the guy, we're just gonna have to deal with that fact. In the meantime, we should just watch him and see if he's learning from his mistakes.

                              One caveat is the OL. They really make it difficult to see if Losman's improving or not. Of course, the coaches are screwing it up too by trying to put a leash on Losman. They need to let him run more if the pass isn't there. I think part of the reason Losman's holding the ball too long is because the coaches have instructed him not to run- when his instincts are telling him to take off, he's fighting them to stay in the pocket and look for a receiver that isn't there.
