Would JP Losman do better in today's NFL than he did in 2004's NFL?

I said 4 because he broke is leg and wasted an entire season so 3 theee, like a guy named Aaron Rodgers. Did that work out? One was picked 22, the other 24. One went to a real organization, the other went to the Bills.

That was an odd draft. The 49ers had the top pick and were choosing between the two top QBs on the board, Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers. Smith was ruined by a poor team with poor coaching and was injured a lot until Jim Harbaugh took over. Rodgers had a long wait to go when he went (Bills having traded their 1st round pick to get Losman the year before) and sat behind a HOFer for years until he played his way in and Favre out.

It's difficult to speculate but how would it have played out if the 49ers picked Rodgers? Would he have been like David Carr, Tim Couch, JP Losman? In other words, 1st rounders who went to bad organizations. Or would he have been like Troy Aikman or Peyton Manning who each had a hand in turning their teams around.

No, he'd do worse. His issue was that he couldn't process information quickly enough and make rapid decisions. That would be exacerbated in the spread.

No he would still suck very bad.He would probably suck even worse
than he did the first time around.

Correct me if im wrong but when JP was starting wasnt the O-line terrible?

There was one thing that he would still do no matter the system, era, coaches... run backwards, get sacked and fumble the football.

Again stems from a sloppy O-line where he was trying to make a play..
