    How many career starts does Roethlisberger have? How many does Losman have? The development of a QB is not an overnight process. I think it usually takes three full seasons before a final judgement can be made, two at the least, and it usually takes about 5 years before they reach their full potential.

    Its scary when the Pats fan is the voice of reason.

    The Packers started off 3-6 that year. I wonder what Favre's game-by-game stats were during that period. Was he playing well or poorly? I don't know. Another player to look at is Donovan McNabb. The statlines from the first six games he played look a lot like what Losman has done so far.

    If there is a bright side to Spikes's injury, that indeed might be it. A weakened D would give them an excuse to open up the offense and put Losman into a lot more 3 and 4 WR situations, something he was very familiar with at Tulane. They need to be doing that anyway, because it seems to me that he's much more comfortable when they spread the defense out with multiple WRs.

    That's pretty rare. Most young Qbs are mediocre and often terrible. Troy Aikman was hideous his first two seasons, with Dallas going 8-24 during that time. We all know what happened just two years later. That's one example. The history of the NFL is littered with more. Three games into Losman's NFL career, I think I'll reserve judgement.

    I suspect that if you pull up the posts, you'll find that the same ones were whining about JP after the first preseason game.

    Three games into the season (and after two bad games), sorry, I do not think it is time to bench Losman. I want to see him play for an extended period of time before I decide that we should give up on him.

    I'm willing to be patient. As I've said numerous times, first year starting QBs are notoriously bad, especially when put behind weak OLs and with mostly slow WRs to throw to. His numbers to this point look similar to Donovan McNabb's through his first 6 games (30/72, 226 yards, 3.2 yards/attempt, 1 INT). Its a little too early for the crying and the whining.

    Drew deserved plenty of blame in his own right, just as Losman does for the losses the last two weeks.
  10. Brandon
    Yep. A rookie QB and a third rate OL are not a recipe for success in the NFL.
  11. Brandon
    There's no way anyone could blame McGahee for this. He had one of the best games of his career, maybe THE best. The OL? Pass protection should be re-named jailbreak in their case, but I agree, ultimately the blame falls on a D that allowed over 200 rushing yards.
  12. Brandon
    It was a complete no-confidence call in the OL. Mularkey was basically saying that he did not believe his OL could block long enough to execute a handoff to McGahee and for him to get a yard in that situation.
  13. Brandon
    But we won't miss Jonas Jennings. No! In fact, our OL might actually be better without him.
  14. Brandon
    Three years?
  15. Brandon
    Who knows? McGahee only has about 150 yards today.
  16. Brandon
    He was hit for about a 6 yard loss. Then hit about three more times before he finally went to the ground. The play should have been called dead before it was.
  17. Brandon
    Did you not see the Falcons defender run right past Teague for the sack?
  18. Brandon
    Its largely Losman. Too many people expected a guy with no starts under his belt to play like a veteran. Its not going to happen.
  19. Brandon
    Of course, he's the first QB to ever throw an INT. The pick doesn't bother me. Its going to happen. It won't be the last one. I'll say it again, young QBs stink.
  20. Brandon
    I could care less what Roethlisberger did. He's one QB. I can point to Peyton Manning who threw 14 INTs in his first 6 games or a host of other QBs who sucked in their first season as a starter but went onto become solid players.
  21. Brandon
    You won't see week to week improvement. It'll probably be more like month-to-month improvement. That said, I think he's had a much better game this week than last week. One thing I think the Bills really need to do is spread the field with three or four WRs. Losman seems much more comfortable with it.
  22. Brandon
    It annoys me a lot more that Eric Moulds can't bring that pass in. He's one of the highest paid WRs in the NFL. That ball hit him in the hands. He needs to catch it, regardless of a little (and it was a little, not a lot) interference from Hall.
  23. Brandon
    Yeah, unfortunately, that's what it means. It usually takes a season or two to develop accuracy as well as the mental aspects of the game.
  24. Brandon
    We do have an average rookie QB. He stinks, which is par for the course with a QB in his third start.
  25. Brandon
    For all the whining about Losman, our $6M/yr WR needs to haul that catch in, regardless of whether Hall may have had a bit of interference. Losman hit him in the hands.
