Recent history has been unkind to rookie QBs

If DB plays lights out, for as long as DB is here.

If DB stinks up the show, I say bring him in mid season.

I think DB is going to play well this year!

I see a Chad Pennington type of situation...

Could you imagine the last game of the season, both the bills and the steelers have no reason to play their starters, ( pitt missed the playoffs and the Bills are already in, hopefully) Ben vs. JP

I agree. Sit Losman on the bench until Bledsoe is benched... for good. Kind of like Testeverde when the Jets were 0-3 or 0-4 or something and played Pennington.

Didn't we already talk about this?

Pennington only played in 3 games total his first two seasons, started none, and then started 12 in his 3rd year. McNair played in 13 games but started 6 in his first two seasons. I'd like to see Bledsoe play well enough to ease Losman in like this. He's a great talent but I think in the same way Pennington or McNair were. Hopefully he doesn't have to start playing in long stretches until at least next year, maybe even 2006. We'll see.
