ganesh Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 chances are we will see losman play again this year, it's the nature of the position and sport. but i think we have overlooked the deep bomb to evans. that has to be the longest td pass thrown this year as far as how far the ball was thrown it was longer than the romo mnf pass to owens, i'm almost positive of that what if jp gets the right coaching staff and a playbook suited to deep passing with tall wide receivers - he is going to be real good in that type of situation. and he is durable except when being cheap shotted by the patriots Those plays are low percentage plays in the NFL and have more chances of missing the receivers (as we have seen between Losman and Evans) than connecting. The NFL is all about moving the chains with a good running game and an offense that makes the least amount of mistakes (fumbles, sacks etc). The long balls require the play to develop and will invariably cause the mistakes to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 what if jp gets the right coaching staff and a playbook suited to deep passing with tall wide receivers He'll make the same mistakes that he made here, but won't have anyone else left to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our receivers could get behind the coverage on a consistent basis AND the OL could pass protect, things might be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasCal1 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 arm strength is not the most important part of a qb. brains win. joe montana didn't exactly have a rocket arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on already, wake up , Losman is in his 5th year, it has nothing to do with the coaches. The lengths Losman fans will go to to make him out to be a player amazes me.

JimmyPage Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 if you put jp in az, jax, dallas - teams with decent or better o lines and tall good wrs - i think jp would have had a lot more success So would any QB. Some people never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, the playbook the Bills have right now is perfect for setting up an occasional bomb, but to build an entire passing game around the bomb I don't think will work. You might make the highlight reel every other week, but the L's will mount up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then next year he will be on another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 and have mounted up over the years. JP will only be a starter on this team if TE gets hurt. Then next year he will be on another team. If TE gets hurt and JP leads the team deep in the playoffs or a SB win. He's back and TE is riding the pine. No saying it's gonna happen, but it could. There's 11 games left. None of us knows what is gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I 90 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 A Jeff Blake-like career for Losman wouldn't be so bad, I guess. He'll have to do it elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. And, seriously, there MIGHT be a handful of high school players that can throw the ball 62 yards in the air like that. And that's a big maybe.

June Jones was a fanboy of bombs away every play. I don't think he knows what a RB is to this very day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanGuzman Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 it was 62 yards in the air.....lots of high scholl qbs can do that...dont get carried away The CFL has an annual QB challenge in which QBs compete in events like longest throw, accuracy and agility drills. Anyway there are a lot of guys with big arms in the CFL Michael Bishop won it last time with a throw of 65 yards keep in mind that he didn't have to hit a target, had no rush and simply had to have the ball land in bounds (I think the width was 10 yards) its kinda of like a long drive contest actually. Anyway point is J.P threw a 63 yard strike on the money w/ a pass rush - - it was one of the most impressive display of arm strength I have ever seen in a game. Does that mean J.P should automatically start somewhere hell no, it just means the guy has a f-ing rocket launcher for an arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
