Rust Belt Nights Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Al Davis is all about speedy wide outs... so why not start a QB with a cannon arm not named JaMarcus Russel? "It will take a couple of weeks to at least learn," Fassel said. "I think he will do well there, though. I know [Raiders owner] Al Davis has always liked him (JP)." JaMarcus Russel could be penciled in as the backup http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/ru...atures%2frumors J.P. Losman addition may signal the end for Russell http://bleacherreport.com/articles/309525-...end-for-russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I did not know ... JP won the UFL Championship (as a starter even). Well breasts to him I guess, good on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uticaclub Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 the only reason why i don't want JP to succeed is because it will just make our team look even more like a AAA football team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm with Pete. JP did everything asked of him and this team hardly ever put him in a position to succeed. They seemed to be moving in that direction in 2006 and then took a left turn. I don't think he's the best, or even good, but I'd love to see him turn it around. However, the Raiders probably don't offer him a very good chance for this. Also, Bleacher Report isn't much of a source. You and I could write (better) articles.

thebug Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 He plays for the Raiders, I hope he sucks, just like I do for any player who is not on the Buffalo Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'll bet someone $50 that Losman isn't the starter for the Raiders. I don't hate teh guy but I'm just realistic. PM if you want to take the bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You guys do realize that: 1. That JP article is really old... and more importantly: 2. JP Losman doesnt play for the Raiders. He is a UFA in 2010 as his deal was a one year which was essentially about a 3 week deal. So, before we start annoiting him the starter in Oakland we should probably wait to see if they even sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offyourocker Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I would not be surprised to see JP do well someday with good coaching. Something he was never afforded with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is listed on the Raiders 2009 & 2010 rosters. http://www.raiders.com/team/roster.html This is history repeating itself. Daryle Lamonica anyone? I have always liked JP. I especially liked the way he moved into the city and was front and center. I think he could have made a big stink when he was in Buffalo--but he chose to take the high road. I respect that quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 First off as mentioned in the thread already JP is a free agent so lets see if he is even on the roster when the season starts before we even talk about him being the starter. Honestly the only way I see JP Losman starting is if the Raiders go with a LT or defensive player at pick 8 and they really like the QB's they have.

Losman addition may signal the end for Russell http://bleacherreport.com/articles/309525-...end-for-russell SO here is the ESPN article. It says nothing about JP: "Adam Schefter Bruce penciled in at No. 1 "Look for Bruce Gradkowski to be the man going into next season. The team respects him, and it responded to him when he played. When Gradkowski was on the field, there was a certain confidence the Raiders had that they lacked when JaMarcus Russell was playing quarterback. My guess is that Gradkowski starts, Russell backs up, and they draft another quarterback to begin grooming for the future." As for the Bleacher Report, anyone can write an article for them and just submit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Angel Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 he will make some plays with his cannon of an arm, but he will give up some big plays with is inability to feel the rush and his inaccurate short and mid range passsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
