If Kelly Holcomb turns out to play the way he played with Cleveland, then we're in good shape, as far as the offense is concerned. I'm not so worried about Losman's future with this club. He's still the future for this team. He just wasn't ready yet to take over the reigns. That's understandable just because he's a very young qb. What Losman needs is what he's going to receive. He needs to learn and grab some wood. Whether or not Losman will turn out to be what we expect remains to seen, but right now Holcomb is our best option.
I was concerned about Losman's confidence and esteem with all the benchings, but one thing I forgot to realize was that Losman has a lot of confidence for a young struggling qb. He doesn't make excuses nor does he feel sorry for himself. He's just dissapointed that he couldn't play any better. This will make him work harder and improve. Losman doesn't need to be pampered. If the club want's to win now, they can't pamper a young qb for the sake of growing pains. Isn't this the reason why they got rid of Drew? Didn't they feel they couldn't get over the hump as long as bledsoe was the starting qb? Yeah, they were very confident in Losman in the offseason, yet a little unrealistic in thinking he could take us to the playoffs.
So, what should we expect? I hope I see the holcomb from cleveland, not the one that came in for backup duty. Holcomb is not a long term answer. He's too old to be a franchise qb. He's going to perform his job and help the team win. We could win a superbowl with him, but it still wouldn't change anything. Losman is and will be the future for this team. Such a feat for holcomb, would guarantee him a job elsewhere for a team in need of a qb who can help them win right away.
So everyone should just sit back and relax and enjoy watching us squish the fish this week.
