FinfanInBuffalo said:I wasn't commenting on the whole era, just the start. So, no, looking at the start is not too early to judge the start.
The reports from camp are that Losman look jittery and he is having problems with accuracy. Those concerns were confirmed last night. Am I claiming that he will not improve? No. Just reporting what I saw. Here is a portion of a report from an AP writer that matches my comments (keep in mind, my observations were from the 1st quarter):
IMO, even some of the bobbles were a result of inaccurate throws. One of the 'drops' was a 15 - 20 yard pass to Josh Reed. Reed had to drop to the turf to catch a curl pattern even though he was open by 2 yards. He also almost got a receiver killed on a throw (I think it was Campbell).
The start wasnt bad. The Pass you talk about was low, but It was still very catchable. Not every throw a QB makes is in the #'s.
The very 1st play, he threw a beautiful pass to Evans, which was dropped. About 15 or so yards.
Then, He threw a great touch pass to Evans, who was tripped up. Would have been for 20+ yards.
He made mostly all the right reads, and I expect that his SECOND start in the NFL, his WR's wont drop those passes or get tripped up.
Also, 4th string? It was still the 2nd quarter of the Colts 2nd preseason game.
Im sure he was a little shaky and nervous making his 1st start, but his 1st pass didnt show that.
He did say he was a little off though.
