I'm so tired of all of the " grass is always greener on the other side" people on this board. You want to knock J.P Losman? You want to call him a bust? You want to say he is BEHIND where a first round QB should be at this point in his career? Well, let me show you how wrong you are. I took EVERY QB taken in the first round since 2003 ( with the exception of Ben Roethlesberger who is obviously in a class by himself) who has started at least 8 games in the NFL ( Like J.P has). Here are the stats...and how J.P stacks up.
J.P Losman After his first 8 starts 8 TD's 8 INT's
Byron Leftwich - After his first 8 starts 6 TD's 12 INT's
Carson Palmer- After his first 8 starts 6 TD's 10 INT's
Rex Grossman- After his first 8 starts 6 TD's 6 INT's
Kyle Boller- After his first 8 starts 6 TD's 8 INT's
Eli Manning- After his first 8 starts 8 TD's 11 INT's
And...Alex Smith only had 7 starts last season, but unless he throws 10 TD's and 0 TD's in his next start...his stats are pretty bad. In 7 Starts......... 1 TD 11 INT's
So, Losman is a bust? Losman will never cut it as a professional QB? You can tell all of this after 8 games eh? He has more TD's after 8 starts than every QB on that list with the exception of Manning who had the equivalent amount.......and he only has more INT's than Rex Grossman. NO QB on that list has a + TD/INT ratio.....and J.P is only 1 of 2 to have an equal ratio.
So, tell us some more about how J.P can't cut it in the NFL. If you are so smart that you can tell he is garbage after 8 starts, than I suppose none of these other QB's will ever amount to anything either.
OH.........and another point.
People wonder why some of us say Kelly Holcomb is not a good fit for this offense? Well....here is the stat.
In 10 years in the NFL, Kelly Holcomb only has 9 passes of 40 yards or more.
In 1/2 of a season , J.P Losman had 6.
You have 3 WR's that run sub 4.4 40's on this team, and all are known for their ability to stretch the field. You want to talk about a square peg into a round hole.....let's talk about Kelly Holcomb dinking and dunking the ball with the track stars the Bills have at WR.
