Losman Wants Out. Whatever.

As other NFL teams get to keep playing into the new year, our beloved has begun its traditional January season of surprise departures, finger pointing, and recriminations. Marv is leaving us, which makes us sad. And now Losman wants out. To which Beloved Nation says: whatever.

Sure, go. But quit whining. You say you never got enough support from the team. That may be because you aren't very good at football. The fans in Western New York are desperate. Believe me, we would have embraced you if you didn't so often run backwards and fall down. Yes, you lost your job twice-- to Kelly Holcomb (!) and a rookie. But you took most of the snaps for two seasons for an NFL team. And your body of work when you had the ball just wasn't so impressive. The long ball was great, but too often you looked confused and broke the play. We all saw it-- it was on tv. So we're going in a different direction.

It's nothing personal, believe me. You showed that you were willing to make a commitment to the city of Buffalo, which we all liked. I hope that you find a team that embraces you, and that you prove everyone wrong. But you had your chance in Buffalo. Apparently, it wasn't going to happen for you here. You weren't entitled to anymore than you got from us. If you're still confused by what happened, give a call to Drew Bledsoe, Charlie Frye, Jake Plummer, Chad Pennington, or Joey Harrington.

Good luck, JP, wherever you end up.
