I just got a V-Coach update on my cell phone about JP Losman...

[Michael82]

Bills rookie quarterback J.P. Losman did some jogging for the first time Tuesday since breaking his left leg in training camp.



He must be closer than 5 weeks, if they are giving these updates and everything. You can tell that he will get a chance to start when he is healthy if Drew keeps struggling, because they are really making a BIG deal about JP coming back. If it was any other 3rd string QB, they wouldn't be putting it out there as much as they are.

[Mr. Miyagi]

They're only giving you the updates because THE FANS want to hear it. It has nothing to do with the actual direction of the organization.

[Halbert]

Thank you.

Starting Losman as a rookie behind this line would be crazy. That is, until the Bills are out of playoff contention, then you might as well let him play. We'll see where we are when he gets back.

must I remind you that you were the one screaming for 6 hours in 2002 for the Bills to trade for DB??

[Halbert]

What's V-Coach again?

They are talking about JP practicing NEXT WEEK in 7 on 7 drills! (no contact tho)

I still am supporting Drew. Where does it say in my post that I don't? Could it be my title? nah. My avatar? nope.



I just really like JP Losman a lot and can't wait until he is ready to take over the reins. He really excited me at camp and of course the two preseason games too. However, I think we would be much better off keeping Drew Bledsoe in there until the very last minute. If we get out of the playoff race, then you put Losman in there. Or maybe if Losman is healthy and ready in week 12, if Bledsoe is really struggling, then you could try Losman. But fans should not expect him to do much this year and I really don't want to see him take snaps behind this line if he doesn't have to. It's terrible and is a great way to get your future star QB killed.

Where did you see that? Damn. 7 on 7 already? Sweet. He is definitely much farther ahead than we thought. He is not even close to RJ-like if he heals this fast.

We have been out of playoff contention since the offseason.

• Drew needed to be replaced.
• The oline needed to be fixed.
• This is MM/TC's rookie season, and they took over a 17-31 team.

But this is good news that JP is coming along well. Give him some games to start preparing for '05. He will get the heat, but we may be surprised...he may make the line look better for once instead of worse with Drew.

sadly it will be 2006 before he is completely ready...

The lines not a problem, just look at the Giants.

Warners getting the ball out of his hands quickly and, making the line look better then it is.

I would say almost everyone thought the Giants O-Line was considered the worst in football before the season started.

Bledsoe is the problem.

[ScottLawrence]

Do you consider Kyle Boller ready?

I certainly don't, and they will probably win the AFC North and be in the playoffs.... Heck, they probably would've still been in the playoffs with Boller finishing the season as a rookie if he didn't get injuried.

The defense is in place already, we just need a quarterback who isn't past his prime and over the hill.

[DraftBoy]

very good points SL, we dont need a QB to win us a game, we just need one to not lose it for us. All Losman has to do is come in avoid the rush and make accurate throws. He wont be asked to win the game.
