It's a question that most national pundits believe is too early to answer. Bills quarterback J.P. Losman is a signal caller that the vast majority of NFL writers aren't ready to stamp as a bona fide starter let alone a quarterback with future elite status.
Even Sports Illustrated's Peter King, one of the more objective national writers, ranked him 20th in his quarterback rankings. While it can't be disputed that Losman hasn't taken his team to the playoffs, he did experience second half season success that should rank him higher than the likes of Denver's Jay Cutler (ranked 10th), Arizona's Matt Leinart (18th) and Houston's Matt Schaub (19th). All three were ranked higher by King, though none of their teams reached the postseason either.
One need only look at the second half of Losman's 2006 season for an indication as to which direction his status is heading as a quarterback in the NFL.
