I say 6-10 for his rookie year, not sure if he can be another Big Ben....
How do you expect the Bills to do with Losman?

hahahahahaha.....With a top 5 defense and the best special teams in the NFL? not even close...Nothing that Bledsoe did this year is something that JP couldn't do. He will use his youth/athletic ability to help make up for the "rookie" mistakes he makes.
This team should of been at least 10-6/ 11-5 this year JAX, NYJ, OAK games to name a few that they should have won.
JP can be succesful and help guide and manage this team to the playoffs...not carry or lead them there Big Ben wasn't asked to do the latter, and neither will JP.

JP obviously has all the tools to become an excellent NFL QB, strong arm, mobility, he's smart, and has a positive cockiness in his attitude.
I think his biggest bridge to climb will be showing patience and self control in the pocket and trusting his blockers(something he couldn't do at Tulane) instead of hitting the panic button and thinking run everytime the defense shows a blitz.
If McGahee can take this offense on his shoulders and be the 1500 yard rusher he is capable of, then I see JP developing quickly and having a very strong second half of next season. My prediction is 10-6.

Woah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Losman would be a first year starter. They historically don't fare too well, even with good support systems. I could even imagine a 12-4 season if a lot of things fall our way (like Belichick getting hit by an 18-wheeler crossing the street), but let's not be surprised if we do see a 5-11 or 6-10 season. He has the tools, but clearly the NFL is about more than that. He could be Brees, who needed a few years to get his head on straight.

I think what will help Losman tremendously is that he has very good coaches surrounding him.
Sam Wyche is 10 times the QB coach he ever had before, and it is his second year with Losman....by now JP is starting to buy into Sam's system....and the fact that we also have Mularky (offensive minded)and Clements (sucessful QB coach at Pittsburgh) on staff can only help.
IF we had a different staff, I would not be so confident in his ability to be productive right away....but given the supporting cast and coaching...in addtion to JP's god given talent....I don't see how he can fail.
To me, Failure=losing games for the team or putting up worse #'s than Bledsoe.
I don't think this coming season's win/loss totals will rest on JP's shoulders....but I see him being a big part of winning close games in the fourth quarter...where Drew is/was a big part of losing those close games."Show me a good loser and I will show you an idiot"

As the DLC likes to say "it's a team game" How is replacing one player gonna make us suddenly suck. Some people talk like JP is not going to be able to do anything right. He'd have to be turning the ball over 3-4 times a game and not be able to move the team at all for us to only win 5 games.
8-11 wins next year depending on how fast Losman learns IMO

First of all, I wouldn't compare him to Ben. Didn't he get drafted then play? JP's had a season of "watching"..for the most part.I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

No way in hell we lose 10 games if JP starts. He doesn't have to be spectacular to win with the team we have. Hell, Drew won 9 games last year!!!! JP can easily play at that level. I seriously doubt that all these talent scouts were wrong about JP.

I really hope JP can come in and pick up where we left off at the end of the year. I hate to see Drew go, he did have some good games and even the last game was not entirely his fault. JP is more mobile and with our line this maybe what we need; after all look how well Flutie did

The biggest asset Losman can have is that, from Day 1, this will be Mularkey's team. That is, he won't have to spend six months repairing the wreckage left by Williams, Gilbride and Co. At some point last season, the players began to trust in Mularkey, and he began to trust them more. This season, there won't have to be those "growing pains."Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"

If JP starts, Mularkey should use the Cowher-Roethlisberger model. That is, deploy a power running attack, a simplified passing game that does not expect too much from JP, an overpowering defense, and great special teams.
We are similar to the Steelers in many respects. They disguised Big Ben's inexperience very well, at least until the 2 playoff games. If we can do the same with JP, there is no reason we can't win at least 10 and make the playoffs.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
