Bills' Wyche awed by QB Losman

[The_Philster]

By Leo Roth
For the second time in his long and mostly illustrious NFL coaching career, Sam Wyche is in a position to guide the torch passing from old, accomplished quarterback to new, hot prospect.
In 1984, his first season as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, Wyche drafted Boomer Esiason from the University of
Maryland in the second round. Within one year, Esiason had replaced 13-year starter Ken Anderson and three years after that, the Bengals were in the Super Bowl....

Buffalo quarterbacks coach Sam Wyche, with rookie J.P. Losman, says Losman’’s confident attitude reminds him of Boomer Esiason, whom he coached at Cincinnati.

He said early. :shakeno: Too many people seem ready to cut him if he throws one bad pass.

Yeah, I think using our 2nd, 5th, and next years 1st to pick Losman says a lot more about their thoughts on him than this article/interview.

i wonder what theyd be saying if we had roethlesberger right now. i find it hard to believe they had losman right up there with them especially if the bills were trying so hard to move up

I agree with that ... the one thing I've always wondered about this is if we had him grouped with those 3 - then why didn't we take him at 13? If he was just as good as the first overall pick, I find it rather risky to let him drop down on the hope that we could trade up and grab him.

Probably because TD is a known gambler. He probably looked at the board and figured that teams from 14-19 were set at QB and so he rolled the dice.

Still, I would rather have had Ben, but it is what it is now and I'm hoping JP is awesome. The alternative is JP bombs and we waste another 3-4 years until we draft another "franchise" QB....and frankly that thought it just too depressing (even for me).

because he had evans rated higher than losman.

and because he was smart enough to know that if he picked losman.. evans would have been gone within 2 picks.

So you're saying we had Evans rated as the best player in the draft? Either that or else we don't think any of the QB's was worth a #1 pick overall (nor even a #5 or so).

It all worked out to what TD has told us he wanted, so everything obviously played out to what he wanted ... but I don't think that everything is quite as they say so.

My God, I thought I already posted to this thread.

It was a good article. The part I liked was where Sam said that if there wasn't anything he could teach Losman that he'd be out of a job.

This is the first year in many that I feel that the coaching staff can actually make some players better.

Go Bills.
