He nailed this on the head:
The 2005 Buffalo Bills (http://bills.realfootball365.com/) were supposed to be all about J.P. Losman. Win or lose, the Bills were going to stick with the young quarterback and develop the former 2004 first round draft choice. After all, GM Tom Donahoe traded a first round pick, a third round pick, and a fifth round pick to the Dallas Cowboys (http://cowboys.realfootball365.com/) just so he could take the brash signal-caller from Tulane.
At the moment, the Bills sit at an incredibly disappointing 5-10. Well, on the plus side, that's 15 starts for a young quarterback, right? Wrong. Losman has started just seven of Buffalo's games and has put together a record of 1-6. He deserves credit for his relief performance that led to victory against the Kansas City Chiefs (http://chiefs.realfootball365.com/) earlier in the season. Unfortunately for Losman, Bills veteran Kelly Holcomb gets credit for the win because he started that game, along with six (soon to be seven) others.
The most comical element of the Bills starting Holcomb over Losman for the team's most meaningless game of the season is the obliviousness of the organization as a whole. Everyone is basically pointing and laughing as the Bills continue to allow the patients to run the asylum. Of course, I'm talking about the veterans on the team who have supposedly been rubbed the wrong way by Losman. Mularkey is trying to please his older players by throwing them a late-season bone (Holcomb). In my view, those vets can either accept that Losman's the future or be shipped elsewhere. If the Bills want to commit to Holcomb for three or four years, so be it, just as long as they're willing to cut their losses with Losman and move on. There's no sense in having a young QB on the roster that is never going to be given a fair opportunity to develop. With the way the first-year starter has been utilized in 2005, it appears that the Buffalo Bills (http://bills.realfootball365.com/) have made a huge mistake.

Those mistakes should cost TD/MM their jobs and earned them a severe stoning as was previously mentioned by someone else.
