Losman to have breakout year
John Clayton revealed a major study he did on the quarterback position today. After reading the article I have only one thought. Losman is going to have a breakout year.
In the article published by Clayton today he state that after reviewing four years of data he came to a conclusion. A quaterback with a high completeion percentage and a high yards per attempt will be succesful.
Then I went to NFL.com and looked at Losman’s stats from last year. After reviewing both categories there is only one conclusion to be made. Losman will have a breakout year this year, and will sneak the Buffalo Bills into the playoffs.
Losman’s stats were 62.5 percent for completions, and over 7.0 yard per attmpt. Which, by Clayton’s hypothisis will make JP Losman succesful in this league. The scary part is that Losman is going in to his second year under offensice coordinator Steve Fairchild’s offense. Which, should reveal even more improvement for Losman.
However, Clayton did go on to mention that quarterbacks within these stats still need outside help to make the playoffs. Clayton in his article mentioned that each team that made the playoffs had a qb in the stats, and a very good defense.
The fact is that the Bills season will hinge on the development of second round choice Paul Posluszny. He is going to be the brains heart and soul of the defense, since he is going to be the starting middle linebacker. If he has an immediate impact they wil make it, and if not then they will not.
So, this year fols when training camp opens do not be focused on JP. Keep your focus on Posluszny and the defense. I will go out on a limb, and say they wll make it. Why, smart coaches with a great line of communication from Ralph Wilson all the way to the fans, second year for most of the team in both the offense and defensive schemes, and a solid draft this past April.
