JP Losman joins Seahawks (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Aaron Rudnicki
- Start date
Evans is neither washed up, nor a possession receiver, nor a bust. I was mostly making a reference to the fact that Evans averages 66 yards in games where Losman plays (1050 yards per 16 games) and 49 yards in games where Losman doesn't play (787 yards per 16 games). Losman definitely has himself a little crush on Lee.

My comment wasn't meant towards Evans himself. Obviously referring to FA busts Housh & Branch. And despite the $$ they've made/making, Seattle has one of the worst WR groups in the league.1st round busts signed this offseason: Mike Williams. Reggie Williams. JP Losman. Looking for JaMarcus Russell to walk in the door at any moment.Evans would obviously be an improvement of their WR position. Though they may be two of the biggest WR free agent busts in recent memory,sadly they still see some value in TJ/Deion for some reason.

Really, this is newsworrthy? A former Raider minicamp QB that is cut among the likes of Kyle Boller and Charlie Frye, who'd been out of the league since 08, signing for minimum wage.

Carroll is overloading every position to make players have to work for their playing time. He can sign all the washouts he wants to, I won't start criticizing the roster until after a few rounds of cuts are made. In a cap free year, with a new coach and an owner that's shown a willingness to eat the salaries of useless people (ie $12 mil to Moron Jr) these bums know they have to work for their money and if they don't work hard, they won't make it. For a team that sank quickly to mediocrity and below, this is a great way to kick people in the ###.Regarding TJ. Every facet of the game was a bust last season, it's hard to call TJ a bust yet. It wasn't as if HE didn't produce on a productive team. The whole team sucked. No problems with the label for Branch, but still too early to apply it to TJ.

The only person that should be sweating this situation is Mike Teel.
for some of us, sure.former 1st round pick at QB who was QB14 in 2006 (his only full year as a starter) signed with a team. in deep leagues, that's relevant.Really, this is newsworrthy?

Why not? Hasselbeck is washed up and injury prone and Teel and Whitehurst are unproven. Losman could find himself starting for the Seahawks by Week 7.

Losman could be just a camp arm.
However, if Favre does officially retire again, I wouldn't put it past Childress and company to pursue Hasslebeck. Every year it is the same, Chilly talks like he has faith in Jackson in camp and then gets a veteran like Holocomb, Brad Johnson, Frerotte, or Favre to replace him.

This is like how teams kept giving Rob Johnson a chance. As if Losman is going to suddenly learn how to read a defense and not turnover the ball.

loseman is the third string guy. It's not like he is going actually play. What are the odds of him seeing the field with Matt and Charlie playing behind that offensive line.
oh crap.....

Among first round QBs drafted from 1990 to 2005, only Jim Drcukenmiller, Dan McGwire, Andre Ware, Todd Marinovich, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, David Klinger and Patrick Ramsey have fewer career attempts than Losman. I think Losman showed a lot more than any of those guys; he shouldn't have been written off so quickly by the NFL. Going to the UFL helped keep him active in pro football, and I don't think you can just write the guy off. He (predictably) struggled in his first year as a starter, but played well in 2006; since then, he hasn't even thrown 300 NFL passes beacuse the Bills fell in love with Trent Edwards. He's got the mobility and strong arm to play in the NFL; he definitely has issues to deal with, but I think he's a competitive guy and fits the profile of a lot of "late bloomers."It's worth keeping an eye on him, IMO.

Well that didn't tke long. Clipboard Jesus (I love that nickname) is already feeling the pressure from Seattle's newest QB. http://12thmanrising.com/2010/05/24/charli...att-hasselbeck/
sounds like he's outplaying Whitehurst in minicamp.Really, this is newsworrthy? A former Raider minicamp QB that is cut among the likes of Kyle Boller and Charlie Frye, who'd been out of the league since 08, signing for minimum wage.

I'm having a hard time understanding how two sentences from Dave Boling of the Tacoma News Tribune is getting so much play. For the record, Boling is a sports writer and a fan. He knows and understands very little when it comes to evaluating talent. He's a monster homer for all Seattle sports teams. He's an overly emotional critic that's become more and more prevalent in today's journalism.What he wrote....
I've seen several people take this and run with it. Bloom and Schefter used their twitter accounts to trumpet the same thing based only on this comment. Outplaying? Really? Dave Boling? I believe that Losman might be playing better, but I'm not placing any sort of relevance on a comment from Boling.

Somewhere in the world, Dave Boling is smiling knowing that his words command respect.
you're obviously much closer to the situation than I am. I'm not familiar with Boling, but if he's there watching the two guys play, seems his word is at least worth something.either way, it's June. I'm not reading much into it either way, but the idea that the Losman signing was not newsworthy seems pretty shortsighted to me. You never know what signings will wind up having an impact later on.

Personally I rate his opinion equally with the average fan. IMO his writing is catered to the average sports fan. More emotional reactionism than objective analysis.
I'm glad to have Losman in camp. At worst he's been a viable starter. Is Whitehurst? Time will tell. I have serious doubts. I'm not worried about what Seattle paid for him. He's not getting starter money and they didn't give up that much to get him. I think a lot of the reaction to the Whitehurst signing was a bit silly. My guess is the folks in the Seattle front office weren't enamored with players they thought would be available to them in the draft and figured Whitehurst was a better prospect (and short term to boot if he doesn't pan out).

Mirrors my own thoughts. Definately someone to keep an eye on. In deep roster dynasties, might be a good stash if you have the space.TommyGilmore

Is JP Losman the next Tommy Maddox?
