I was really excited when we drafted JP. I saved the USA Today article before he got drafted because I had a funny feeling that we were going to take him. That class had a ton of QBs in it and the top 6 are all starters currently.
I believe that JP was terribly mismanaged early on and I really fought on this board to keep people open minded about that fact and that he was our best option. After the bye he stopped making as many mistakes and looked alot better and I was happy for him and us.
The reality is, whether you like it or not, that JP does not have the mental tools to play at the NFL level. I remember when MM put JP in for one play aginst NE in place of Bledsoe and he literally threw a 3 yard pass to the defender for an INT. My buddy looked at me and said "what the hell was that." Unfortunately, 3 years later I'm still seeing the same stupid stuff.
Did the Bills play well yesterday? No. If Edwards was in would we have won this game? No. However, it was early in the third, McGee gave us awesome field position, and if JP hits Price, it's a 5 point game. How many here knew the game was over when we kicked the field goal?
The point is that JP doesn't do enough things well to help us win week in and week out. He's also going to get Evans hurt with some of these throws and when Evans goes down this season will be officialy over.
I have been a long time supporter of JP but it's officialy time to make a change. I'm also of the belief that we will never be a playoff team with JP behind center. Sorry if you disagree but it's the way I feel after supporting him since he got here.
