There's a chance that QB may turn out, but won't be for a few years, everyone says he's immature and just listening to him, so far I agree. Plus they gave up to much to get him, if they wanted to go QB, they could have gone for a better QB.

Friend of mine is a big bills fan, was happy when they traded back into the first, was pissed when the took that QB, he still would have been there in round #2 or possible later.

I like the WR, but w/o line help, Bledsoe won't get the ball to them.

You may be right VEL about that J.P. whatshisname. The QB Buffalo picked up. A friend of mine was just telling me how he heard an interview with him where he was calling himself the next Bret Favre.

Brett Favre threw what, 20 INT his first season? And he was erratic and a loose cannon before Holmgren. Losman could be Favre, but without a Holmgren to lead him, he'll become what Favre could have been.

That's not the point. Something about a guy who hasn't even played his first pro game comparing himself to one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game just says "conceided asshole" to me.

Hahahahaha but think about it!

It's GREAT that he has a mouth. I hope he jaws at D-linemen when he's young...

That will be awesome.

I have to disagree with you here. I've been a bills fan for a long time and followed this draft intently. They traded up to get Losman because Green Bay or St. Louis was going to get him. Think about it this way: They traded a 2nd and 5th this year and a 1st next year. They were going to need a QB next year so in a sense they gave up there 1st next year (which they would have used on a QB anyway in a much weaker class) and their 2nd and 5th are pretty much used on getting the qb they wanted and giving him a year's experiance under bledsoe learning buffalo's system. Pretty smart move if you ask me. As for Losman, he is extremely smart person, check out his wonderlic score, he scored quite well compared to the other qb's. As for his attitude, i think a qb needs a little ' i think i'm the best swagger' Dan Marino had it, Jim Kelly had it among many other's. Qb's need to be able to chew out their team mates when they f*ck up and also be man enough to take the blame for their own mistakes, that's what Losman brings to the table. Whether he pan's out or not, who know's, but i like him and think he will be really good IMO.

Time will tell, but they could have gotten JP in round 2... and who knows, maybe he will be the next great QB... but from what I've read/seen... I don't think so.
