    (LAMP) Last day of Work

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    After 9 years at the same company, today is my last day. I've basically fulfilled all of my responsibilities for the day, so now I'm just cruisin'. I'm heading out to Vegas this evening for a 4 day celebratory binge. We're staying at The Palms, but I'm sure I'll be all over town. It could get ugly.

     

    Wish me luck. :thumbsup:

     

     

    i hope it doesn't snow out here like it did when R. Rich got into town.

    If one wants to be more accurate (which some folks do not because they simply cherry pick the fact(s) which support their point) then a players market value is determined not only by his ability as a player, but also the amount of competition out there at their spot.

     

    JP actually has more leverage than Johnson right now because the conventional wisdom is that this is an incredibly deep draft in terms of WR talent which makes it critical in terms of leverage for Johnson to make some noise right now before his market position gets diminished even further by the drafting of several potential competitors.

     

    JP on the other hand is a former NFL starting QB with a middlin level of production overall but a clear record as a failed starter, but his coaches made a number of definite errors in his development which would make it silly for other teams to simply declare him done.

     

    JP need do nothing more but keep his nose clean and he likely will stand to cash in quite well when FA occurs.

     

    Many folks seem to make the mistake of equating salary level to ability as player (they are not the same thing at all though obviously they are strongly related0. They also seem to make the mistake of assuming that a player has some static level of ability which can be assessed when actually the same player can be horrible in a bad situation (the wrong offense for him, bad history, early in his career, etc.) but also be good or very good in the right situation.

     

    I think JP is done as a Bill as he declared the Jax game make or break for him and pretty much all he agree he broke. However, I still think he is a young talented player with some clear deficits who could easily produce much better in a different situation.

     

    I think the folks who simply write him off as a bad player who will fail everywhere have simply not made a compelling case for this view even though I would agree with them that he is done as a Bill.

     

     

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! it couldn't be any more accurate than that. there was no cherry picking anything.

     

    Losman has more leverage NOW because he did what he HAD to do. report to the team and keep his mouth shut. had he chose to not show up, other teams would have considered him done because they would detect it as an attitude problem.

     

    had it been ONE coach and ONE offensive coordinator, i could possibly agree with your developmental error comment. but when it's becomes more than one, they obviously see something that you don't. it was obvious that he regressed, last year, from the year before.

     

    i'm sure that a couple of teams may be interested.

     

    John Matuszak, Steve Largent, Frank Lewis, Jim Plunkett, and many others are examples of that.

     

    it's possible.

     

    get back to me when he becomes the next Rob Johnson. :thumbsup:

    He is in attendance at the first day of workouts. Look at all the !@#$s out there who are unhappy with their situation and use the media to bargain and leverage their no-shows as a badge of some display of courage. JP is not divisive..he is a team guy. In my mind this only enhances his trade value if that's the route we go and it shows me that he will be okay if we keep him.

     

    We can trash him all we want for his play on the field...but he constantly shows me he is a mature, team-oriented player...I am glad he is still a Bill.

     

    From Chris Brown:

     

     

     

    LOSMAN IN ATTENDANCE: Buffalobills.com confirmed that QB J.P. Losman was in the building for the start of Buffalo's offseason program and did attend position meetings.

    that's only because he's not good enough to hold out. when he starts establishing himself like Chad Johnson, etc... then he has some kind of leverage to do so. the last i saw, he's still under contract with the Bills so he has no choice. he NEEDS the practice anyways since he couldn't beat out a rookie last year. he just needs to keep his mouth shut, practice, and hope that he can perform well to beat out a second year player.

    Age Old Question: Can Men & Women Be Just Friends?

    OK everyone, what do you all think about this one? 1 of my best friends is a guy & we have been friends since high school back in the day. He's a great guy, but a few years ago he suggested that we become more than friends & I declined because I wasn't feeling dude like that plus he's like a brother 2 me. Needless to say, he didn't agree & we ended up having a big argument about it & not speaking for years. Fast forward to the present, we talked & got everything out in the open & now we are cool, but our friendship is different & kinda distant now. What should I do? I value our friendship, but I don't want him getting the wrong idea.

     

    there's no attraction on my part.

     

     

    unfortunately, we're only getting your side of the story. i'm sure that there's a lot of things left out as to why he feels this way. for all we know, you could have been leading him on. kind of like the jackass chasing the carrot, while you're the one dangling it front of him, and he's pulling the cart with you in it.
