Baseless Speculation

"Turk." Not "Kurt."
Per the Hartford Courant, the Colonials have hired former Bills QB coach Turk Schonert as their QB coach for 2011. Schonert held the position with the Bills from 1998-2000 and again from 2006-2007, and spent 2008 as the Bills offensive coordinator. He has also been a QB coach with numerous other teams, such as the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and (way back in ancient days of the Vinny Testaverde era) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

You try to find a picture of JP where he doesn't look stoned.
Could this mean a reunion with former Buffalo Bills player and ex Loco J.P. Losman? Probably not, but if so it could be a boon for Hartford. Losmania put up only middling numbers in his time in the NFL, but was quite the star with Las Vegas in the UFL's opening season. If he can put up numbers like he did in the league's opening year, he'd be a good find for any of the teams who are still looking for a passer, if he can be convinced to play for the UFL rather than warm a bench in Seattle.
