Nicely put together post this morning.  I thought it was a very enjoyable and knowledgable sets of articles.  Onto my thoughts....

The Prisco article really caught me off guard.  I came across it last night and was surprised how positive it was.  Prisco seems to have had some nice things to say about us this offseason, again surprisingly.  This article is very accurate (finally national media!) and sensible.  All the other garbage I read about JP is about how he was a terrible QB his first two seasons.  Well, those uninformed authors refuse to cite the musical chairs of coordinators, systems, and snaps JP has faced.  Now, with a system in place for a second straight season that includes the same group of skill players outside and a fast improving OL, I fully expect JP to have a very good season.  I still worry about his decision making at times, and especially the turnovers that seem to come in bunches, but I am confident in his accuracy, playmaking and now, leadership.

The 365 article was a nice read, though I'm not high on comparisons like that, especially involving players from different eras.  There are too many variables involved, some that I probably would never even think of, that go into the success of a QB.  What I like to look for is improvement, playmaking and consistency (that's also what I look for in fantasy football, haha). JP definately showed improvement as the season progressed and he became more comfortable with the offensive scheme. He obviously showed the ability to make big plays in our offense and, thankfully, he showed some consistency that we need him to maintain for the forseeable future.  I just think it's too hard to compare players like that when there are so many extraneous variables playing a part.  The only comparisons I really would take seriously are players replacing other players (ie Tom Brady replacing Drew Bledsoe in the same offense).

The WR article is also a nice one. This offense is built more on speed out of the WR position, ala the Rams of 4-5 years ago. Sure, we'd all love the 6'4" WR, but we can succeed by getting these players in space, especially on deeper routes.  Hopefully, the OL's improvement will give JP that time he needs and the WR's the time they need to run deeper patterns and get into space.

And, I thought the postings you did on the Jags site was comical.  I think this is the first (and last) time I'll ever use the term "pwned" because you really made that guy look a little foolish.  Refering to McGahee as our only bright spot and our best offensive threat was just hilarious.  Really, if he actually thinks we'll struggle without him, then he's crazy.  Him making those statements about Losman potentially losing his job to Edwards makes me wonder what he must (or should) think about the pathetic job Byron Sandwich has done for his team.  Good work over there.

I'm actually surprised to see JP was sacked 21 times over those last 8 games.  I really though it was drastically less over the second half of the season.  I don't remember him getting hit nearly as much.  Maybe many of those are coverage sacks with JP eating the ball instead of forcing in a throw like he had tried often in the 1st half of the year. Hopefully, we'll see even better progression into this year with JP's stats...
