I bet if he was a 2nd round draft pick he would be a hero around here.

This is crazy. He is not going anywhere unless its a trade for a key player. His dead money is twice the cap hit!!!! Think about it.... He was tied for most sacks missing 6 games too

QB play will be the determining factor, not the guys catching the ball...

And with those guys in 2016 the Bills were 30th in passing yards.... The Pats are going into 2018 with Hogan as their primary deep threat and there doesnt seem to be any concern about that.

A few defences came out and said the key to beating the Bills is to make TT be a QB, nothing was said about covering the slow receivers.

Change should always bring some concern, I get that. But at the end of the day they have guys on the roster who have been ok. Groy was able to step in for Wood and when Miller started for the Bills they were the #1 in rushing. Its not like plan "A" is to start 2 rookies.

I dont see the concerns at OL and WR. Not saying they will be great units but compared to last year I believe the WR core will be better. The OL lost Wood a couple of years ago and Groy stepped in and there was no notable falloff. Also a 4 year starter have ben brought in at center. Richie may not be so easy to replace but at 35 there was no guarantee that his play would stay the same. The biggest question on O will be the QB play. Could it be much worse? The team was was 27 in TDs and 31 in yards.

Bring him into camp... Cut him if there is someone better...

A lot of colleges have good enough QB that cant make it to the NFL so I dont see why that has to be a problem. I hope both leagues make it and play at different times of the year so we can watch football all year long!!

I think the no running start by the kick team will encourage more returns. It will take the coverage unite more time to get down field. May be a rule that backfires

The "holes on D" is a bad statement and also lost 60% of the OL is bad to. Yes Glenn is gone but was replace by the rookie who played over half of the season and did well. Some of the media guys need to get a life!!

You know that Allen was their first choice? what is your source?

Puzzling? Let the prospect prove himself or not. I have seen a lot of the media down on the guy would has yet to have a chance to play. And he is not the first guy not the starter the day after the draft. We have no clue who McDermott liked best 2 guys were already off the board. Maybe he liked them better? Rosen score 10 points less on the test than Allen. Not to mention the 2 concussions he had last year, that could raise a concern.

Both Darnald and Mayfield were off the board before Buffalo picked, maybe Allen was the Bills third choice. We will never know.... The only thing we do know is the bills liked Allen better than Rosen or anyone else. Cant say I blame them. Anyone who wants to throw shade on Allen should watch his senior bowl performance. I didnt see him making many bad passes. As far as him with the 3rd team that is smart, why rush his development? Why put unneeded pressure on him? He was not drafted to be the shot term answer. They should make sure he is only in position to succeed. The Offence is a work in progress with new systems being installed with at least 2 new starting on the O linemen and a WR core that is not solidified. At this point the only thing we really know about Allen is he has off the charts measurables, arm strength, and good athleticism. Paired with high intelligence, strong work ethics and does not quit when thing arnt going his way. As far as his accuracy problems that all seemed to be linked to his college completion percentage of 56.2% think about this: Jim Kelly 55.6% Dan Marino 57.6% Brett Favre 52.4% And these three guys are in the Hall of Fame Brett Favre started 0 games his rookie year Jim kelly developed by stared his first 3 years in a second rate start up league prior to going to the NFL Dan Marino did not start till week 6 of his rookie year after being a backup to a no name starter. The media should get off Allens ass and wait for things to play out before shooting off their mouths.

I also believe the D will be improved this year and like what I hear about Phillips. But, we have yet to see Phillips play a down in the NFL so I think it is too early to say he will make a difference. After a few preseason games we will have a better idea. I an hopeful that Shaq and Washington will be improved in year 3 and that will be the difference. I think Shaq is in position to have a very good season. His rookie year was a setback with injury. Last year everyone agreed he played the run well and I believed he finished the year ties for most sacks after missing 6 games.

Lets hope its 4/5 years before we have to open the bank for a QB, so the cap money can be used to fill the biggest holes. If this draft class works out well the Bills could be in very good shape for awhile.

Its hard to say how many games Allen should play. If the offense doesnt ask the QB to do a lot with a heavy run first attack throwing him in wont be bad. If I recall correct Big Ben was not asked to carry the team the first year he started.

I too thought the game management was bad at points last year. Lucky it did not burn them. If McDermott practices what he preaches we wont see more of the same. I feel that he was pretty tough on himself even-tho when asked about it after the game he never came out and said he screwed the pooch.

I dont see McBean trading draft picks for players. They will want to draft their guys and get the cheap labor for the whole rookie contract.

We wont know anything about any of these guys until the real bullets start flying in the preseason games.

Groy play well when called upon Bodine started 4 consecutive years. Neither maybe all-pro but should play good enough to win. Depth at center will not be a problem. It the guard position that should be the concern and especially the depth at guard.

Agree 100% but it would be nice if they all played good and Teller won the spot since we own him cheep for a few years.

Yes 4 guys in a contract year. Good for competition this year, maybe bad for next year.

No bought its a team game. But when there are 2 or 3 plays a game that wide open WR arnt being thrown too and WRs are hardly ever being thrown open the QB play could go from the 175 yards the TT gave us to 275 yard with the QB alone. Not to mention that keeps defenses more honest that creates more opportunity.

The QB play will determine the WR success.
