First of all I want everyone to know that I've supported this kid through all of Mularkey's crap and his first 8 games last year when he was struggling. I was overjoyed to see him turn it around late last year and I thought (and still believe) he has the ability to become this teams QB for the foreseeable future. I did not want to give up on him then and I don't want to give up on him now.
With that said, I find it amazing how many people are so sensative when it comes to JP and criticizing his play. To criticize his play does not mean that you want him or the team to fail, it is just pointing out the obvious. Today is a perfect example. I don't think JP played well at all. His mechanics have been shakey, his throws were off, and he just didn't show any fire. I know his WR's didn't help him much (Price especially), and his TE's are useless, but there has to be a point where he takes over and says I'm leading this team to victory regardless.
But by saying these things, it doesn't mean I think we should throw him under the bus and bench him for a rookie who would come in and struggle. I think TD would like this, but I think that is way too drastic a step. I want to see Losman succeed. I'm sick of the QB carousel around here. I want some stability. But at the same time it doesn't mean I won't criticize him when he plays poorly, just like I will defend him when he plays well.
Too many people are quick to trounce others around here because they will be critical of the team and/or JP (OP is a good example of a whipping boy lately, and I remember Pat Moran getting flogged). Criticism is not a bad thing people, don't become over sensative and lash out. Take a second and think it through because many of these points are valid. For instance, our Defense was horrible today (anytime you give up 470 yards its not a good day), so was the offense (minus Lynch, and I actually thought the o-line played pretty well), and definately the coaching. But by saying this it doesn't mean I hate the team or want them to fail. I've watched this team since I was a little kid. I've lived through the hard time 80s and the good time 90s. I'm a fan for life, but that does not mean I'm going to sit around and rubber stamp everything that happens to this team or its QB.
On a final note, I want to say I wish all the best to Kevin Everett and I pray he will make a full recovery. It is no longer about football for Everett at this point, it is about regaining complete feeling in his body and walking again.
