Re: Time for Losman to step it Up by Jerry Sullivan
i do agree with this.... Losman should not get a pass tonight.From what I’m hearing, a lot of people are giving Losman a free pass on this game. The logic says it’s not fair to judge Losman against a great Pats team that has steamrolled every obstacle in its path, making some good QBs seem ordinary along the way.
Silly me, I thought the whole point of this exercise was finding out whether Losman could succeed against the better teams, in the most challenging situations. Isn’t the idea to find a quarterback who can stand up to the elite teams, against the Tom Brady [stats]s and Peyton Mannings of the world?
If it’s my money, this is precisely the moment where I take a long, hard look at Losman. You don’t invest $20 million in guaranteed dollars based on a QB’s performance against the worst defenses in the league. You want to see it against the best teams, the toughest defenses.
I’m not saying Losman has to beat the Pats. No one has beaten them. But he should be expected to play well.
There will be other tough games to measure him by, assuming Losman remains the starter. But you can’t just write off the Patriots game. It’s small-time thinking.
The quarterback story gets old, I know.
You keep looking until you find a guy who makes you feel confident in the biggest game of the year. Otherwise, why even bother?

I agree - as long as every other player on the field is held to the same standard.Comment

Re: Time for Losman to step it Up by Jerry Sullivan
A QB who can only beat bad defenses is practically worthless. Or Drew Bledsoe.Comment

I hope he's addressing fans with this crap, and not JP. Because JP is going to do the best he can to help his team win this game. If it's not good enough, it's not good enough, but before we even find out (good or bad) nobody expects him to be the starter next year anyway.
And who the hell is writing it off? I don't know one single Bills fan that is writing it off, or giving him a pass. Not even his biggest supporters.
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!Comment

It's an article. And the points brought up in the article are valid.
We're all Bills fans...no one wants JP to fail, especially tonight.

Oh give it a rest, justa. No one WANTS JP to fail, but he just seems to be a perennial loser when it matters the most.Originally posted by justasportsfan
We don't want to be pissed at Losman but when he plays like crap the way he normally does, he's the one causing the reaction, not the fans.
Everyone was praising JP when he played against Cincy, and you can't expect anything but themt o be critical of him when he's sucking. And quite frankly, he's sucked a lot more than he's played well.Comment
