    Only once in Losman's career has he thrown for 230+ yards and 60%+ completions, as Losman did last week.
    Whoa, that is amazing.

    Not really when you consider Losman cares more about his hair than playing QB.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      In a way it is .
      It helps explain how I have him rated as a QB

      I haven't bothered digging into stats to support what I say about him as a QB.
      But watching him over the years I never was all that impressed even through that so call great streak he had for a half a season

      There have been some games where Losman connected on the bombs and that does a lot for the yardage.

        Losman played last week?
        I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

            Why do some of you feel the need to continually bash? Grow the F up!

              Yards without consistently making a good % of your completions means that you are missing out on alot of points (and more yards). It's actually kind of sad but shows you another weakness exposed.

                Skooby stop with the false crap... No need to state things without research... JP is near the top of the NFL in completion % at EVERY range.

                Trent played well... It's good the Bills apparently have 2 good QB's... NUFF SAID!

                  I wrote this in another post and am cutting and pasting here for your benefit:

                  "Some more stats to back up the thread starter:

                  Losman threw for over 200 yards 7 times last season, including the last three in a row [NYJ, MIN, @DET, @HOU, MIA, TEN, @BAL]. Long bombs to Lee Evans occured in TWO of those games [@HOU, @BAL].

                  Losman threw for over 150 yards 12 times last season, including the last 7 in a row [@NE, NYJ, MIN, @DET, NE, @HOU, JAC, SD, @NYJ, MIA, TEN, @BAL]. Bombs to Lee Evans occured in only THREE of them [@HOU, @NYJ, @BAL].

                  Losman's longest passes for the season, by game and in order were: 20, 19, 51, 23, 19, 44, 56, 43, 24, 83, 30, 23, 77, 37, 52, 52. That's eight that went over 40 yards. Of that, one was a quick slant to Parrish (51 yards NYJ) and one was a broken play to Parrish (44 @DET).

                  Losman had an overall completion percentage last year of 62.5%, good enough for 9th overall in the league. He had 10 games with a completion percentage over 60%, and two games with a completion percentage of 70%.

                  Finally, Losman had a completion percentage of 67.4% on passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage, ranking him 11th out of the top 33 QBs last year. He had a completion percentage of 74.0% last year on passes thrown 1-10 yards in the air, ranking him THIRD out of the top 33 QBs from last season. This season his completion percentage have gone up in BOTH of those categories, to 66.7% and 76.0% respectively.

                  There is nothing wrong with his short game. Losman does not rely on the deep ball alone. One need only to watch this video from this past Sunday to see that Losman does not lock onto receivers, goes through progressions, and can rid of the ball very quickly:

                  http://www.buffalobills.com/multimedia/index.html"

                  For Wys, I will also add that of Losman's 19 touchdown passes, 8 came from passes thrown 1-10 yards while only 5 came from passes thrown more than 30 yards. I will also point out that in the red zone, Losman was 19/33 (57.6%) with 8 touchdowns, 1 interception, and an overall passer rating of 94.1. Hardly "utterly" ineffective.

                    there was no reason for this to be forked...
