    Maybe Losman's knee really isn't ready

    Relax people. Plus it's more time to groom our future QB.

    Re: Maybe Losman's knee really isn't ready

    Doesn't he have the same injury Wire had? Wire was out, what, 6 weeks? How long has JP been out? 3? I honestly don't think JP can be 100% yet.

    Maybe the injuries are different, but I thought both had sprained knees. Can someone correct me on this?

      JP said it is. He's been practicing fully. Dick didn't say the knee wasn't ready ... he said JP's "rusty" because of the missed time.

        Rusty. Well, other "franchise" QBs play as soon as they are cleared. Take that at face value.

          Can anyone imagine Favre or Manning not playing because they're "rusty" after missing a few weeks?

            Rusty sounds like a euphemism for unprepared.

                He's starting this week. He missed two games with broken ribs.

                    Both had sprained MCLs. The problem is there are different degres depending on how much it was pulled beyond the extent for which it was designed. Losman's was a grade 1 sprain, which is a relatively mild sprain. I think Wire's was worse. The interesting thing is Jauron's explanation of how he reached the decision. He did n't make it by himself. He spoke to the coaching staff, Marv Levy and Ralph Wilson. Missing from that list: the trainers, the team medical personnel. If it was really a medical issue, those would be the only people he should be talking to. I can buy that Losman is a little rusty as Jauron stated. That makes some sense that Jauron would want to get the opinion of Schonert and Fairchild, but Wilson? Has Wilson been following practices to know that Losman is a little rusty? I doubt it.

                    So what is Ralph Wilson going to say? Answer: "I like Trent Edwards. He shows some poise in the pocket and he's cheap." He's thinking Edwards played well and won the Jets game and did not embarrass himself in the Dallas game. He looks like he could be better than Losman and I'm only paying a third round rookie contract for a starting QB if he can be the starter. That kicks the legs right out of Losman's negotiating position this offseason when he wants to renegotiate. I can tell him, "Too bad JP, you've been traded to Minnesota. See how much they'll pay you." That's pretty powerful motivation for an owner trying to run a cheap err lean organization.
                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                        ralph wilson getting involved in the qb position. he must have started seeing the grim reaper again while getting his sponge baths. he's just gonna get more desperate and more of a pain in the ass until you know what.

                          But it's not because of "rust."

                            so what your saying is Wilson is also getting rusty.

                              I think he's beyond that. There's nothing left to oxidize
