I know this is a dead horse that has been beaten over and over again...but why have so many given up on JP already? He started 8 games. I see comparisons of his stats to Holcomb's a lot...apples and oranges. Holcomb is a 10 year NFL veteran...JP was essentially a first year guy. He threw 60 TD's to 27 INTs in college. He was shaky as hell his first few starts...absolutely. But you can't find many first year QB's other than Big Ben and Tom Brady who aren't.
Think about it...when he came back into the KC game after KH went down...he was more than effective (9/16, 2 TDs, 0 INTs). He looked great in the Miami game until MooMoo made some stupid playcalling. He was showing improvement. And then he got yanked so MooMoo and TD could try to save their hides.
This kid has the tools...he just needs time. The biggest problem I see with JP is that he was drafted to a team that has been broken at QB for a long time...there isn't any patience left from the fan base...but there needs to be.
I am with a previous comment by Tatonka...I fully believe JP will step it up and prove to be the QB we thought he would be...I just hope it is in a Bills uniform.
