I didnt know you knew Losman personally enough to know hes not a team leader. lol.
Are you Randy Moss???? lol
The QB is suppose to try to be the "man" on the field for his team. Its the QB's job to do that. I dont follow college football so i cant comment on your comments about his play but from what ive heard Losman has the skills and talent. I too, heard he could be the next Brett Farve. But of course i would have taken Ben and Phillip over vernon carey or Losman any day.
Your missing the point of my thread! lol
that was directed at the Bill's fan :) . Apparenly I hurt his feelings because I don't think Losman will be a respectable QB down the road. He hinted at us being "homers" and said we think Poole, and yadda yadda yadda are going to be the best players ever just because their phins. What he doesn't understand is, I dislike Losman for my own reasons and not JUST because he became a bill. Hell, had they snagged RIvers I'd crap my pants and tell him he has a future franchise QB on his hands..but as it is...he has Losman, :roflmao:
ANYWAY, in reflection of what you said. There's a difference between confidence, and ****y. Would you consider TO to be a team leader? Or Randy Moss? I sure wouldn't. Sure their great players, but they don't command the respect of their fellow players. QB's such as Favre, Marino, Vick, etc. Make other players around them better. They steer the game and make the other players have faith in them. Their confident, maybe a little ****y, but above all their leaders.
Losman is not. THat kids is going to take a LOT of lumps in this league. His ego is big. Some compare his attitude to Favre's...fine and dandy, but Favre has actually PROVED somethingand has a right ot be ****y. If losman walks in like a ball of fire thinking he's the man and he's going ot make plays with his athletic ability, he will be sorely disappointed. The biggest thing for this kid, is he's going to have to make huge leaps in his mental game. He'l rely on reading D's now, more than his own to feet to scrammble, and will need accuracy more than his cannon. Your going to see this kid burnt...a lot. He'll try to muscle throws where he sholdn't. He did this in college and got burnt, it'll only get worse in the pro's.
That's not to say he's going to be a total flop. IF and I do mean IF he can make the mental leap, he could be a good QB. But when put side by side with other QB's in this draft, he's sorely lacking in the respectability area. There's WAY too many questions with this kid to be worth blowing a first rounder on. He's going to take years on the bench before he can play (and I don't think he's mature enough to accept that). He never sets his feet, and like I said, will need ot work hard core on his reads. It can be done, but he's a long way away. Feeley is far and away better than Losman at this point. Just watch :D
