PromoTheRobot Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 ...already knows how to play in the NFL, if someone like that existed. Make up your mind folks. You want to bench JP and play Holcomb. When is JP supposed to get better? Oh that's right...he's a bust at 3 starts. Then you get people suggesting we tank and draft Leinhart. Hmmm...another rookie QB...BRILLIANT! PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...another rookie QB...BRILLIANT! PTR 454026[/snapback] Most rookie Qbs bite nowadays. The defenses are too good and the talent is too raw. Rothelsberger and Brady are extreme exceptions. The problem right now is that the Bills are probably good enough- even with this D- to make the playoffs. But that might not be true under a rookie QB. I like JP a lot-- but he may not be the answer right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills built a defense to win NOW. We need a QB that is ready to win now. That is the difference. We all knew JP would struggle, but I believe most of the frustration is that we are playing like a team that is still rebuilding. Keep hearing words like we are a young team. Not sure that is true. Though it is true at QB and RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the NFL when you allow 200 yards rushing in a game you won't win. If we hold Atlanta or the Buccaneers to under 100 yards rushing like we did with teams all last year then we probably split those two games despite how poorly JP has played. For us to be a playoff team JP needs to improve, and improve a lot. But this defense and the offensive line also have to make giant leaps forward. Right now the only aspect of this team that has played at playoff level is our place kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit, I thought the same thing a month ago, but not now. They have to show me something first, which will be even more difficult without Spikes around.

Even with the defense of last year, I would have liked to see a seasoned QB at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
