Steely Dan Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I see JP being a great QB with an OC who can specifically design an offense around his talents. I also think when he leaves here he is going to be extremely motivated to prove that he's a much better QB than anybody here thought he was. If that doesn't happen I see him like a slightly better Trent Dilfer. A guy who won't lose games for you but won't win them, except rarely, for you either.

BuffaloBill Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I was out last friday night and saw JP at a bar on Chippewa..As I don't get out much I had a little more than a few and walked up to JP and asked him where he would be playing next year. He was very cool and said, "I am playing here this year." I asked well what about next year and he repeated himself in a respectful manner...where he could have just punked me off. Then I asked him what he felt about Trent's 1st qtr melt down v. Cleveland...JP smiled and said listen..I'm just out for something to eat and a little time with my friends and I am not really talking football tonight. I apologized for interrupting him and he was cool..asked me my name etc made small talk. I wished him good luck in his future and went back to my group of friends. My take on JP, the guy is a class act..even to a drunken overzealous Bills fan out for some answers. Good Luck where ever you end up JP Too bad it has not worked out for him here. I think he genuinely likes the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Naturally, JP is going to want to go to a place where he has a legitimate shot at starting. Therefore I think possibly landing places for him are: Kansas City, Oakland, Detroit, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, and San Fransico. Detroit pretty much has the top pick locked up and without Millen they won't take a WR (zing!), so I think they'll go QB. And with Stafford, Bradford and Tebow some other teams will go QB too. So it's hard to pick where he'll go. But I'm gonna say Gruden will bring him in with a promise of a chance to compete for the starter's job. Garcia is old and so is Greise. I think JP will go and join the Bucs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyDingo Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have a feeling he hooks up with Mularkey in Atlanta. Mularkey really liked and trusted him and was instrumental in developing the JP we see today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoverbills Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I don't know that he is even a good #2. When a guy says he has a hard time getting up for games, despite being paid as a professional athelese, I have my doubts. Don't get me wrong, I think he is talented, but he just doen't process game info like he should....Kerry Collins said the same thing on espn radio.What kept him going was the fact that he thought he could still be a starter in the leaque.Just think if Vince Young was still starting, would they still be 10 and one.Maybe because they have a great defense and good coach.Its funny how when your loosing its always QB fault.He not good enough but with a tougher schedule Losman didn't have that bad of stats in 2006 and he wasn't allowed to change the play at the line.Achie Manning never was on a winning team,was he a bad QB?I think if Losman went to a team that works with his Strength instead of making him a dink and donk passer,I think he could start.Like I said before the Bears change they're offense to Orton strength and look a differant qb and Thigpen in K.C. they run the same offense he had in college,differant qb,Vikings wish they still have him.That why Edwards looks better in our offense,because he is a dinker.But the only good game he had lately was againts a bunch of rookies in K.C."youngest team in the NFL" but I'm happy with the win.Do you think Farve would've had a great career if they would've change the way he played the game?

I think JP will go and join the Bucs. All of those are possibilities. I think if he has any choice in the matter (read: if he gets offers from them), he goes to either Minnesota or ... wait for it ... wait for it ... The Jets. Consider that his style of play is relatively similar to Favre. Then consider the respect/manlove he has for Favre. Then consider that the Jets don't really have a QB developing under Favre, who's been downright bipolar re: retirement (I think he plays another year or two). I have nothing against JP except that he didn't/doesn't fit in the system here and that the game didn't 'slow down for him' in the pocket, as the phrase goes. Whether Mangini and Schottenheimer feel they can work with him is the question, but I think NY is JP's landing place. I have a feeling he hooks up with Mularkey in Atlanta. Mularkey really liked and trusted him and was instrumental in developing the JP we see today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent has turned out to be even a worse football player than I thought he'd be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewildrabbit Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Don't be surprised if he should land on a really good team that wants to develop him more. He is not as bad as most of you make him out to be.Given the right situation he could be really good down the road,or really bad depending on where he lands.Just my take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaLee83 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 In a suprise move I have him going to Philly - throwing bombs to DeShawn. He goes to the Raiders. 14 years $175 million $100 million guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robkmil Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Detroit Minnespta or San Fran. Martz was high on him pre draft--but martz might not be in san fran for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 JP isn't good. No matter where he goes he's gonna hold on to the ball too long, fail to read defenses, throw picks and get sacked. With that being said I hope he goes to the jets if Favre retires totally agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have a feeling he hooks up with Mularkey in Atlanta. Mularkey really liked and trusted him and was instrumental in developing the JP we see today. It's funny that same Mularkey looks like a genius with Matt Ryan (and before he made Kordell Stewart a MVP candidate). Maybe, and I know this is crazy, but Losman wasn't good enough??? I really liked Losman and wanted him to succeed. However, his fan club really is annoying to me. There are 32 starting spots in the NFL. There is an entire new rookie class of QB coming in. A guy like Tyler Thigpen comes out of no where to become a starter. Matt Cassell and Leftwich are free agents. I really don't see Losman being anything more than a number #2 at best. Losman certainly has some major skills. However, I don't know if he can overcome his lack of pocket awareness or poor decision-making. The league is full of wash out that had amazing skills. Would anyone outside of Buffalo think Losman is a better option than Rex Grossman? Again, I like JP but I'm so sick of the excuses. Part of being a good QB is to be able to adjust to change. I really think the more you look back at 2006, you will realize that Fairchild did a great job getting the most of out Losman and limiting his mistakes. If TE is our guy, I'd love to see JP starting somewhere. But I really don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Boller had all the skills in the world. Nothing is dumber than comparing player X to player Y. And at this point, Losman is a lot closer to Boller than one of the all time great QBs.

How much more time does he need to develop??? 3 years is normally a good time frame to gain an idea on how a QB is progressing. Losman certainly had his moments, but there were to few and far better. You simply couldn't count on JP as an every game starter for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
