Let's say that Losman succeeds, breaks team records, and manages to tuck away enough wins to get Buffalo multiple playoff appearances. Bonus?! Right?
Hardly!
The way this media works and plays on the minds of others, JP Losman will always be known as a arrogant ***** with only one person in mind - himself.
Why?
Well, that's what sells stories, magazines, commercials etc... That is really what earned him a bouncing invite to the 1st round of the draft (well that and Donahoe's desperation to draft a QB - a mild sedative for missing out on Rothlisberger).
Certain people (a majority of people) will believe in what's fed to them rather than formulating their own opinion.
Losman's tie with fame will always be what the media wanted you to believe he was in college. A cocky, arrgoant, free spoken individual that's on it all for himself. And this is precisely what I hear from others around me that don't know one sensible piece of information about Losman or the Buffalo Bills.
Honestly, I've NEVER seen it. Even before he was drafted by Buffalo the interviews and the playouts all looked relatively normal to me. Sure some of the editing was placed just so that you might have gotten a sense of arrogance from his comments. But all in all what I saw was a kid that had confidence in himself and his abilities and the drive to do it better. And that is a quality found in most winners. You have to say it and believe it before it comes true. Losman is doing only that.
Sadly, the media will harp on this if JP does find success on the football field one day. It will be annoying, despicable and down right idiotic at times. If he finds a great amount of success, other new upcominig QBs with similar attributes might even be compared to the likes of the Buffalo QB. it could end up being a qualified discussion most of us would find Bruschi-esque.
