    I remember when Jimbo was the QB, unquestionably the QB

    I love having a gamer behind center week in and week out. You are always going to lose some games, odd as it may seem but with Jim Kelly behind center, you knew we had a chance to win every game.

    I miss those days and hope we can get our stuff straight sooner than later with a real go to guy at QB, someone we can count on.

    I don't fully trust Trent yet but I trust Losman even less.

      You must also remember then, even way back when, there was a faction of fans that thought Reich should've been elevated to starter over Kelly.

        Half the people here would be calling for Reich if this were the early '90's. Shiny Object Syndrome is a staple of this place.

          phallic object syndrome is a staple for some here as well.

          JP is no Kelly, night & day.

            That happens with any team in any league in any sport. When things start to look bad or don't quite the way you think they should, the grass always starts looking greener on the other side
            Go Bills!
            Go Sabres!

            JP Losman, your time is up!

              Marv has to correct this situation. Go and sign a hot QB in free agency.

                I know I was thinking this too.
                Remember when we had a DE who could rush the passer?
                Remember when we had LB who could really change a game?
                Remember reed and thomas ans tasker?

                    That wont happen again untill we have a consistent coaching staff and not 2-4 years and out coaching staff. We need a Solid long lasting coaching staff. And one that wont juggle back and forth and stick with 1 QB.

                      I know JP sucks but he was doomed from the beginning. Prior coaching staffs screwed him and this one came too late for him. Now ship JP out and see what Edwards has. If he doesnt have it then find someone this offseason.

                          it is kind of funny though.. because todays numbers are so skewed.. jimbo, by my recollection, was a gun slinger.. the man.. lighting up the scoreboard with all those great teams.. but then i looked at his numbers...

                          33 tds one season when we went to the superbowl.. the rest of the years look so average now in comparison to what we are seeing.. i mean derrick anderson is going to surpass the best season kelly ever had..

                          pretty weird.

                            it is a very different nfl than 20 years ago.

                            you see games where very few balls hit the ground on a regular basis.

                            it is a qb league ever since walsh brought in his WCO, and most teams include a good bit of it now.
