The consensus in the press and other forums regarding the timing of when Dick/Marv/Steve should start considering benching JP seems to be after the Jets game. The logic is that he gets a pass for having to face 3 of the best D's in the league and that the Jets will be a more accurate gauge of his abilities.
I disagree. I propose that the gauge should be how the O Line is playing (regardless of what defense the Bills are facing). If the O Line comes out and gives JP time ( like they did for most of last week against a very talented, physical Steelers D that employs exotic zone blitzes) then there should be no reason for him not to be able to execute the offense. I have a feeling the line is going to hold up ok against the Pats in pass protection. If that happens, it's time to poop or get off the pot.. and if he has plenty of time to poop then we know the pot is not the problem.
