We should convert Losman to a WR

[Losman4Life]

Just a thought...but if we aren't going to give JP a fair chance to be the starting QB here than we ought to take advantage of his natural athleticism and utilize him as a WR, DB, or RB.

I really think he would turn out to be a great player at any of those positions and a lot of other NFL players have been converted to other positions coming out of college. Plus we have already had success doing this with guys like Jason Peters, Coy Wire and George Wilson.

Hopefully the front office reads these boards and makes JP our #1 WR in 2008!!

$1.3 million a season to a WR who's never played WR before?

It's an interesting thought but too risky.

This is assuming we don't get the value we should for him in a trade (i.e. 2 first round picks). No sense in giving away a player of his calibur for nothing. I just have a bad feeling if we let him go he will have a 4000 yard, 30 TD season on another team.

JP really got a raw deal in Buffalo.

You think we should get 2 first rounders for JP?

I like JP too but dude you're whacked.

The moment a quarterback is converted to a wide receiver is the moment he's done in this league.

See: Crouch, Eric and Vick, Marcus.

if we get a 3rd rounder for him, that will be high. More likely, we'll get a 4th, or we can trade him and our extra 3rd for a 2nd- something like that.

JP was basically handed the starting job by Mularkey and this coaching staff gave him all of last year and a good portion of this year. He had plenty of chances. Granted, he didn't have a lot of talent around him, but talent won't force JP to make better decisions with the ball or give him that internal clock.

Matt Jones?


That being said, JP is not a WR. He cant hold on to the ball in the pocket what the hell makes you think he can catch.

Thats always been my beef. I think one more year under Drew could've been the difference for JP.

There are a number of college quarterbacks who successfully made the transition to NFL wide receiver. Antwan Randle El comes to mind.

That said, Losman is not athletic enough to be converted to wide receiver.
