Like Picard who says to Riker, MAKE IT SO! He'd fit in nicely.

Harrington is an FA. No need to trade for him.

Harrington is terrible and a Free agent. Who would we trade JP to?

Re: Trade Losman for Harrington?

I don't know why the Lions, Fins, and Falcons gave up on Harrington. He once had 19 TD passes in one season.

Re: Trade Losman for Harrington?

personally i want somebody better than harrington

despite the trentophiles irrational confidence he remains a big risk on a team stocking themselves for a playoff run

jp is better than any fa available. unless they can get something real good in return, ie at least a third round pick or a starting capable player they should just keep him around this year

It seemed that he was having a decent season in Atlanta last year, but they are in pretty much a mess like Miami so it's understandable why both franchises cut him lose after one season.

Regardless I would take him or another former Dolphin QB (Culpepper) over Losman anyday for back up QB. Especially if The Holcombator isn't available to resign.

He has talent but no guts and he's not a leader. That's why.

JP does not want to be a buffalo bill. As a result he is not the best option the bills have. I don't care if you loved Losman or hated him, everyone has to realize that Losman cannot be a bill next year.

Get rid of the potential bad attitude in the locker-room, get rid of a QB who is the exact opposite of what Trent is, and gamble that trent can stay healthy. There is no point in keeping two QB's with two totally different styles.

Obviously the bills are trying to get possession receivers and get a lot of talent to reduce the double teams for trent. He accells at the short and intermediate game with accuracy and good reads. JP launches the long ball and makes something (good or bad) out of nothing. Trent is going to use the TE, and a big receiver, roscoe in the slot and evans going long. JP won't be able to use any of those other than evans. for him to succeed he needs two speed demons.

I understand gambling on TE for a full season of healthiness is a big deal. his knock is he can't stay healthy. but if you have a QB who has similar attributes, its easier to plug and play than it is to switch the entire playbook.

Loseman in good company with names like this:

"Meanwhile, teams throw away millions of dollars on quarterbacks drafted in the first round who become labeled as busts — Rick Mirer, Tim Couch, Heath Shuler, Mike Vick (yes, he can be considered a bust), JP Losman, Joey Harrington, Ryan Leaf and many more."

Re: Trade Losman for Harrington?

Harrington has had longer to develop, and more stability in his handling, than JP - and he is still not as good.We should either get a solid veteran like Brunell, or a young guy with some upside, if we replace JP. Harrington is neither.

nope. it's directed at the thread. I most likely would've quoted you if it was directed at you
