I see he is being offered quietly around. Anyone have interest in him here? I would love to see him here I wanted the Pack to draft him when he came out. Bad year last year but cmon almost nobody is great their first year.

Question.
was Losman the QB Sherman was gonna take if he was available when they drafted but Bills got him and Sherm took Walker instead? Or was it Barnett? -
I read that today and thought it might be a good idea. We need a backup with some experience and should Brett retire, he and A-Rod could have a qb-off for the starting job."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Um, guys?
J.P. Losman is being replaced by our (former) third string QB.
Also, if memory serves me correctly, Dallas traded their pick to Buffalo, who then swooped in to grab Losman. We got Ahmad Carroll. So...yech.
Losman split time with the incomparable Kelly Holcomb. If there's anyone else (anyone else not named Joey Heatherton), I'd rather have him/them than Losman.

I don't like Losman much. Unfortunately, I think ARod is going to be a similar QB."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

You never know how a young quarterback who is initially unsuccessful with his first team is going to do with a second team willing to take a chance on him.
Brett Favre struggled with the Atlanta Falcons. How did he fare with the Packers?
Steve Young struggled with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. How did he fare when traded to the San Francisco 49'ers?
Who knows how Losman, or even Harrington, might do with their second teams?

The thing about Losman is that he wasn't really given ample opportunity to develop. He was thrown into the fire after one year, and had very average if not below average talent around him.
I wouldn't mind TT giving him one of his trademark no-risk contracts and letting him battle it out during training camp. But I would be aprehensive about anything past that.Comment

They're nothing alike..Losman has a rocket arm with no accuracy..Rodgers has a decent arm, but his strength is accuracy..Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
I don't see how they could be similar ?Comment

Similar in that they will both suck on the NFL level."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Ya, Losman has a rocket arm for sure. I've seen him wing a few, and they've got some *snap* on them.
But - he had a shake, with a decent organization. Favre and Young were both in clownsville with those two franchises, especially at that time. No one, including two future HOF QB's could be sucessful in those places. Losman had the chance to sit on the bench for a year, learn, then go out and play. That's a decent recipe for success, and he just didn't do it.--

I thought he had a season ending injury his first year.Originally posted by GuinessComment

I think he would be a nice addition. I think you can teach accuracy you cant teach arm strength.
Whoever we start I hope we stick with the guy for atleast 3 years.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.
