I've said all along Loman should start, but he should NOT start next week. Nothing will kill the kids psyche more than the Patriots if he is thrown to them next week. He's not ready to face the Pats. Let Holcomb start, get killed and make it clear to everybody that Holcomb is no savior. Give JP two weeks to prepare then let him take over. And most importantly, NEVER pull him out of another game this season.
Is he the future? Personally, I don't think so. But he atleast needs the same shot that Palmer and Manning got. Hopefully next year there will be a freakin line to protect whoever is back there.
