J.P. Losman is the Bills’ man under center. Levy didn’t suggest that Losman is on the road to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, nor that he peers at his quarterback with his coaching eyes and sees a young Jim Kelly. After all, Losman turned 26 just last month and he has a mere 24 NFL starts in his resume.
What Levy did seem to suggest is that the Bills’ offensive hierarchy is comfortable with Losman, that his progress is coming along well and that, despite some holes in a few other positions, Buffalo could make a run at the playoffs with him if he keeps on improving.
For Losman’s teammates I think something that happened in the final game of the 2006 season, a loss to the Ravens in Baltimore, might have cemented the players’ own comfort with their quarterback. The play in question was, of all things, an interception of J.P. It happened late in the final quarter, with the Bills attempting to get back into contention via their passing game..........
