Alex Smith or JP Losman


Recommended Posts

JP looked bad and downright horrible at times, but he was all-pro compared to Alex Smith. The major difference was that they knew they were gonna be horrible and we thought were a playoff team. However, the 49ers are starting the kid again with total confidence. Why isn't JP getting the same respect? There is a huge learning curve for NFL QBs. My guess is that maybe this is Marv's way of motivating JP. There is a some competition now and he has to earn the job. But that said, who would you rather have???

Losman.

 

I had to watch almost all 49ers games (thanks to my wife), and A.Smith was terrible. I was also wondering how the 49ers fans felt like when seeing his performance and realizing they spent a first overall pick on him. (and no, I didn't dare to ask my wife :doh: )

 

Based on his plays in his first year, I won't even put him in the same class of T.Couch.

So did he show anything that looks like he is a NFL QB?

Would CBiscuit97 like to be judged for all eternity based on one year's performance? :doh:

God, I hope not. I was horrible in 2005. It was really unexpected because I was amazing in 2004. :doh: But I just thinking JP is getting the short end of the stick. I don't blame Marv because he has no ties to JP. But I keep thinking JP is gonna lose the competition in training camp, eventually get cut, and become a star for another team. That said, I would rather have JP than Alex Smith.

That's a pretty good answer... however, I hear Jesus has limited mobility and makes poor decisions under pressure.  Plus, he doesn't play on Sundays.  :doh:

This brings up an interesting subject. Many people know we should not judge a QB, like A.Smith, after one year. But many Bills fans have already given up on Losman after his first season with siginificant play time.

 

Is this because fans tend to use higher standard on their beloved teams?
