    How is Rosen a no brainer when other QB starved teams passed on him? Someone help me understand this logic. 

     

    Didnt the same teams pass on Allen?

    Sadly there are a number of people so upset about the Allen pick, that the draft was an immediate disaster in their eyes.  Every move past that was seen in the most negative light possible, no matter how positive it might actually seem.  If you look closely, most people calling this draft a bust and/or disaster share two traits...first, they hated the Allen pick and second they are outright hostile and abusive.  It's rarely a calm, clean critique.  It's Beane did everything wrong, is an idiot, everyone is going to be a bust and we will have a new coach/GM in a year or two.  Some fans got overemotional over Allen being picked and allowed it to severely taint any other draft pick later taken in their eyes.

     

    Its not the Allen pick alone. It’s the giving up of 3 picks in the 2nd and 3rd.  Some fans see it that way. So it’s not as black and white as you make it.

    If I had to win a game tomorrow, I’d most likely go with Rosen.  I like the Allen gamble though.  If you read my OP, I never said I thought he was even the best QB in this draft.  I was really just trying to dispel the idea that he “sucked in college” more than anything else.  But it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he turns out to be insanely good.  I think the way he played in the Senior Bowl was incredibly encouraging as far as a glimpse into what he might look like with legit talent around him.

     

    I think you two should fight it out.  In the Thunderdome!!! 

     

    btw great posts. 

     

    Irresponsible to trade away so many picks?

    May we please have that again in English?

     

     

    I guess we paid high pick 5 money for pick 7.  We gave Tampa (according to reports) what we offered to Denver at 5.

     

    We way overpaid relative to the Johnson value chart, for what that's worth.

     

     

     Here is some English for you. Not that it matters. 

     

    In summation, PFW offered an indicting conclusion: “(He) has ideal size, arm strength and athleticism … but it ends there. Will flash the ability to make the big throw, but can’t do it with any consistency. There isn’t a quarterback in recent memory who had such a low completion percentage in college and went on to have success in the NFL. Will probably get drafted high because of his physical traits but people who draft him high are risking their careers.”

    Given those flaws, Pro Football Weekly graded him as a third-rounder.

    Yes he is.  He has the best arm of any QB in the draft.  Going into the season, he was rated as the #1 QB many scouts.  He reminds me a lot of Jim Kelly.  Will he be as good as Kelly?  Who knows, but Bills fans have been bitching about not drafting a QB for years.  Now we drafted a very good one and Bills fans are still bitching.

     

    Whats his completion percentage?  Find me one w that percentage who became a stud.

    Not if we wanted a QB other than Lamar Jackson.  If we hadn't traded up, the first round would have fallen differently.  Neither Rosen nor Allen would have been there at 12.  I'm perfectly happy with two studs instead of six average players.   We've been average long enough. 

     

    Allen is a stud now?  Why cause of his gorgeous hair?  It’s all good dude. If you are happy I’m glad.  There is no knowing anything to be honest.  Off to work.

    This thread makes about as much sense as all of the ones last season about how we were "tanking".   This team will be competitive THIS season, just as they were last season.  We got two very good players last night and are a better football team because of it.  Period. 

     

    We could have had 6 very good players by tonight.

    I do hope you're right. And you never know, maybe this is the year the Patriots and/or the Steelers come crashing down, making it more of a scramble.

     

    But then everyone will say how the afc was weak and making the playoffs wa just a fluke?  Am I right TT haters?
