Rico Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 GREAT article: Rival coaches think Losman will shine Sherman even said Losman has many of the traits that made Favre one of the greatest players of all time. "It's hard to compare a young guy, a first-year starter, to a Hall of Fame quarterback," Sherman said. "But Losman has some of the attributes that you look for as far as the competitive side, the toughness and the ability to make plays when things break down. There are definitely some similarities there." That's been missing on this Bills team for quite some time now, can't wait for this season to start! Exciting times are back!

Exciting times are back! 256620[/snapback] Right on, bro.....that article got me fired up about JP. I've heard coaches often say how important that interview sessions with the player are, and apparently JP must have really shown them something. I can't wait to see what this guy can do.

BillsFanNC Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I like Herm Edwards' quote: "Bledsoe did a good job for them, but playing Buffalo won't be any easier. They're going with the young guy because he's a talented player and he can help them win ball games. They did what was right for their team." Basically echoes my take on it all. Bledsoe was serviceable but wasn't going to get us any further (playoffs), therefore go with the young gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary owen Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 the article almost seemed to be a big (searching for the finger smilie...) F-U to Gruden for his comment. it was nice to see those comments about him and the MM from his peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 i'll admit. it's somewhat of a relief to hear all that. That the packers and Rams were going to snag him. That many coaches think he'll be a star. I know shannahn thinks so. Passion for the game...key. Bledsoe didn't have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was awesome when JP went in and started doing his thing, and they cut to Shannahan on the sidelines where he says something like, "whoa, we've got a player here". That show was awesome, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember posting about it at the time and a lot of us felt is was one of the best pieces on the Bills we've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I've always said Mike Martz is a genious! (he does have a good record with QBs over the past few years) That article can't help but get you pumped up. We stole GBs future QB last year, this year let's grab one of their guards to protect him.

IDBillzFan Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 That article was definitely a big FU to Chucky, and while it's encouraging to hear coaches talk about what a solid prospect JP is, I'm not going to suddenly put a ton of stock into words from Mike Martz and Mike Sherman just because they're saying what I want to hear.

(BTW, you forgot about Herm and Marvin's quotes ) it's like a chick that hears someone say they look nice tonight. They may be fat and bloated, but it feels good for them to just hear something positive. We are definitely in limbo...we have no idea how this is going to turn out. If it's a real bad year for JP, we still won't know how good a decision it was to go with him. I think he'll struggle early and get better as the season progresses. Unlike our ex-12 year vet, King of Class, Pauper of Elusiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM him. 256740[/snapback] http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=9546 Not really selling as much as just distributing games for people (selling implies profit, and I "sell" for cost although tips for my time are appreciated). I finished the Bills/Vikings game from 2002 as well (the one where Bledsoe reached 30,000 yards for his career, Hollis kicked a career long 54 yarder to send the game into OT, and Price scored on a ~60 yard TD in OT. It also has my first attempt at motion videos. Wouldn't it be nice if the NFL just put all of the games on DVD for us, with better quality than I could do?

Those guys do a great job for what it is, but I think most everyone would prefer watching the actual broadcasts. I read somewhere (maybe here?) that the last few Super Bowl DVDs also have included the broadcast game, so maybe there's some hope for the future.

Phlegm Alley Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Losman It is great to see that other talent evaluators think that Losman has all the tools to be a successful leader on any football team.
