J.P. Losman price

[vicmantak]

Buffalo Bills dealt for pick from Dallas and drafted J.P. Losman 22nd in 2004 first round.

His price.... a first-rounder in 2005 (DE Marcus Spears) and second- (RB Julius Jones) and fifth-round picks (TE Sean Ryan) in 2004.

Any comments?

Like most trades, it will take a few years before we really know who got the better deal.

Re: J.P. Losman price

It's not just about if JP ends up being a better player than those three combined.... It's about if Buffalo could have gotten a better QB of the future somehow. Which, again, we won't know for some time.

Re: J.P. Losman price

I agree, right now, it looks very one sided, but you never know. Julius Jones is the only one doing anything and we don't know anything about Spears yet so hard to say.

It's all a crap shoot. Sometimes you get Tom Brady. Sometimes you get Ryan Leaf.

The price was Jones and Ryan. Spears doesn't count as that pick was the one swapped.

It is really frustrating how some people look at it this way. Really in much the same way as they still call J.P. a rookie.

Re: J.P. Losman price

don't forget we got the pick early, that does count for something even tho he got hurt.

also, trades can benefit both teams. henry for a 3rd to tenn is prolly the best thing for both teams for example

Thank you. There seems to be a mental block for most folks.

Re: J.P. Losman price

I think it can not be measured by this way. First of all, I'm sure that as two different teams we have a different approach / needs, and I don't think so that we could have ended, taking the same players if we have kept those picks. You have a need, find the player you want, pay the price to get him, take your chaces. To me it is a price, not a comparison between players, if this works perfect, if not live with it.

Re: J.P. Losman price

You know what's really worth it? It's that we got Losman a year early. Otherwise we'd have to a) keep Drew one more year ( ), b) start Matt Schaub ( ), or c) throw a rookie like Jason Campbell to the wolves.

Looking at it this way, I think we did the right thing trading for JP.

Re: J.P. Losman price

And no, I don't think we would've taken another cement foot QB like Aaron Rodgers.

Re: J.P. Losman price

This is a ridiculous question to ask......JJ alone is better than that piece of trash Lossman, let alone JJ + future defensive player of the year Spears....give me a break!

and you base this is on.......the kid hasn't played yet, so far TD's moves have looked great.....If JP pans out, we'll have one of the most powerful and dynamic offenses in the league with JP, Willis, and Lee....I cant wait til JJ has his sophmore slump and/or just gets injured, between that and Bledsoe, you're in for a real dissapointment....

You've got a big mouth boy, don't go running off when those cowboys start sucking like we told you, stick around and eat your crow boy.

Re: J.P. Losman price

If Losman pans out it's worth it. I think it's that simple really, and I don't care what Jones and Ryan do, or Marcus Spears for that matter. Buffalo needed a solid QB. They didn't have one. Dallas needs a solid QB. They don't have one. Julius Jones, Sean Ryan, and Marcus Spears are not going to do them that much good.
