(WGR 550) - Bills offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild had some glowing words for J.P. Losman, and the trust the coaching staff has for the quarterback.
"He works hard. He's a humble guy," Fairchild said of his quarterback in Friday morning appearance on the Howard Simon Show. "He doesn't take anything for granted. As long as he keeps doing that, he's got a lot of God-given ability and the right thing's gonna happen. We gotta surround him with some people and we're doing a better job with that. I think this thing's going to turn out well."
Fairchild told the show that a trust grew with Losman in 2006, and that he expects the play book to open up more in 2007.
"We held the reigns back on him in some of the third down stuff and in the red zone," he said. "I wasn't sure how I trusted him how I wanted to trust him last year. He kept getting better and better, but we're a long way from done. This is a work in progress. I really like his chances to be a very good quarterback."
Fairchild said Losman was given a rough ride last season.
"I think the worst thing you can do with any position, especially quarterback, is hand it to someone," he said. "We were not easy on him by any means. He showed some toughness, and when it was all said and done he was obviously our best choice. Now that he's established himself as a starter in the league, we'll see how far he can go."
