I read the following article in ESPN, but there´s just one part obviously because it is a ESPN Insider article (I hate that).
Does anyone has password or could get the other part of the Thread

" One of the keys to coaching is to figure out the things your players do well and those they don't do well. A good coach will set up a scheme that amplifies the things his players do well and limits the things they don't. The toughest part of this for a coach can be finding out what it is a player can do, and that brings me to the Buffalo Bills (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=buf)' quarterbacking situation.

Mike Mularkey saw enough of Drew Bledsoe (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=2359) last year to realize he wanted to go in a different direction. Bledsoe was very statuesque in the pocket and on the wrong side of 30, so Mularkey decided to bite the bullet and promote J.P. Losman (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5547) to the starting role. Losman displayed a number of strengths as a college quarterback. He has quick feet, excellent mobility, a fast release and a high level of self-confidence. The issue for Mularkey and offensive coordinator Tom Clements was how to translate these physical traits into his performance. Essentially, they had to find out what Losman does and doesn't do well. A metric analysis of Losman's performance in the first four games of the season shows why he was replaced. A study of Kelly Holcomb (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3873)'s performance also shows what Holcomb is allowing this offense to do that Losman didn't "

If we don't make playoffs, Jp should and will come in. In the meantime, we will also need to see which players we will keep but we cannot gauge them if they aren't given a chance to make plays.

Some people said Moulds is done, Evans is going through a sophomore slump ,etc. Well it turns out that they are doing quite well but just wasn't getting the ball.

Campbell who was not getting any balls suddenly came alive. Can he catch? That catch he made that was threaded to him by KH was clutch. We wouldn't have known that if he wasn't being thrown to and it was a pass that JP can make but at this point is not confident he can do. He has a better arm than KH. That was also a timing play that was well timed. Something Jp was struggling w/ his wr's.

If we were to grade our players on offense in the first 4 weeks to see who we would keep for our future , Reed would be the only player that we would keep . Turns out the other players in the passing game weren't the problem. JP's hesitance was. Hell even Willis looked like Thurman catching balls for KH.

If anyone here thinks JP isn't learning by watching KH seriously needs to rethink . If there is one thing that Jp could learn from KH is managing the team ,making the right decisions and keeping your composure even after making a mistake. This were things that Drew was horrible at.

KH isn't expected to win games for us just like JP wasn't but he obviously has to learn how to use his head.
