5. J.P. Losman

CarAV: 19

J.P. Losman joins the ranks of the irrelevant quarterbacks from the 2004 NFL Draft. The difference between him and the other two, though, is that Losman was a first-round pick. As the 22nd overall selection, he was supposed to be the Buffalo Bills' franchise quarterback, but he flopped and fizzled out after just eight seasons.

The former Tulane quarterback came into the league and struggled to a 1-7 record in his first eight starts. He threw as many interceptions (8) as touchdowns (8) in 2005, but he enjoyed his most valuable season in 2006. Through 16 starts, Losman went 7-9 and played to an AV of 10, throwing for 3,051 yards and 19 touchdowns to 14 picks while earning a rating of 84.9 at the age of 25.

Between 2007 and 2008, Losman started just nine games with Buffalo before moving on to be a backup in two different cities.
