I'm still thinking that Marv and Co. aren't sold on JP yet.

[HHURRICANE]

Let's not kid ourselves. Nall was brought in to challenge JP for the job. He didn't win it and I think the brain trust realized that JP was a better option. However, I think they aren't completely sold yet.

There is alot of love for this Edwards kid. Too much if you ask me. JP needs to play at a pretty high level.

It never hurts to have motivation to perform to the best of your ability.

If the FO thinks Losman needs a push in order to be more successful, i'm all for it.

Marv just likes having two good quarterbacks look at Kelly-Reich. If I recall correctly Frank Reich was a 3rd round selection as well and nobody was insinuating that Frank was going to replace Jim. Before we drafted Trent Edwards we only had 2 QBs on the roster, so it was obvious that we were going to address the QB position this year via draft. It just so happened that Trent was available in the 3rd round and his grade value was better than any other player available.

JP has shown improvement but he's not a sure thing at this point.

If he has some pass protection and someone other than Evans learns how to get open, I think he can be good.

He really has to work on his touch passes though- it would suck to lose Lynch's receiving ability because Losman throws rockets on 10 yard passes.

JP is the real deal.

PS

If we wanted to get rid of Losman we would have drafted Quinn.

Trent Edwards was the best pick you guys made.

Yeah, he'll make for great trade bait one day!

I'm not sold on JP either but I don't think Edwards was brought in because of him. If anything, they're not sold on NAll.

Re: I'm still thinking that Marv and Co. aren't sold on JP yet.

I think it's a combo of a few observations mentioned above.

1. JP is the starter and will be in his option year after this season. He needs to improve his reads on the safety over the middle and the CB jumping on his out patterns. I'm a JP fan but he has lots of room to improve in football smarts. You can't just get by on the bomb and deep post. No improvement = no extension

2. Nall may be Gale Gilbert lite and nothing more. Decent arm, zero mobility and never starting material.

3. Edwards scouting report - The first thing I noticed Ourlads stating was that he had better touch than any QB in the draft. Can throw the bomb as well as the short stuff. Reads the D well and plays smart. It's all about getting the ball to every available weapon and he can make all the throws.

Conclusion - He probably has far more talent than Frank Reich and will receive a serious look if Losman doesn't take more steps forward to warrant an extension. If not, he's trading material but he's here for at least 3 years regardless.

I think Marv and Co are completely sold on JP.

Edwards isn't here to take JP's spot. He is here to be probably a 3rd string this year and maybe/hopefully and 2nd next year. I know its easy to get excited about draft picks but really if Edwards ever does challenge JP for the starting spot it won't be for another 2 years at least.

And yes, that does mean the Bills drafted a back up in the 3rd round which isn't a bad thing, this team needed a good young back up.

JP needs to play at a pretty high level.

No problem.

Edwards is zero threat.
