  1. It effected a lot of prospects. Wtf are you talking about? Ive said many times im glad he's a Bill. Covid has shut down the entire nation, how ignorant can someone be to think it didn't effect the draft where it is imperative to travel to teams interested in you who want a closer look.
  2. I hope Allen improves I don't to be in QB limbo for another couple years. My biggest fear with Allen is his accuracy, and that he will never be able to bring that up to a franchise quarterback level. They've given him everything this year and this is his year to prove it. But now I feel very very confident that if he does falter we will not be in QB limbo and hopefully have a good answer to move to at least in the short-term.
  3. When you have a bad performance at the combine, yea, matters. "My money is on Fromm emerging as a true threat to be the number one overall pick in 2020." https://nflmocks.com/2019/07/01/jake-fromm-early-2020-nfl-draft-scouting-notes-thoughts/ "Don't be that general manager. Be smarter than forcing it by falling in love with a tools-only quarterback. Instead, make that scouting trip to Athens, Georgia, this summer to watch tape on the most pro-ready NFL quarterback prospect in the 2020 draft class." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2844075-jake-fromm-is-the-perfect-qb-prospect-for-win-now-nfl-teams Bottom Line Fromm doesn’t have the highest ceiling in this class, but he is a pro-ready quarterback who does all of the little things well and can march an offense down the field. He is an accurate, intelligent and mechanically sound thrower who can effective march an offense down the field. Projection: Round 2 https://draftwire.usatoday.com/2019/11/10/2020-nfl-draft-jake-from-scouting-report-georgia/ "Scouts loved Fromm coming into his Junior campaign and those who really know football are going to see that some of the shortcomings weren’t completely Fromm’s fault (think Missouri & Auburn, not A&M or LSU)." https://www.si.com/college/georgia/news/fromm-draft-stock-worth-pursuing Accuracy – Fromm is lethal when throwing to just about any location on the football field. He can be seen on tape working to throw open his targets against some of the best defenses in the country. When he does miss, it is typically an overthrow on a deep pass or on a rushed delivery. "Fromm should be one of the top quarterbacks selected." https://www.sportsmediapass.com/2019/11/13/2020-nfl-draft-scouting-report-georgias-jake-fromm/ "This past week, ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. said he expects Fromm to be a first round pick, albeit probably not the No. 1 overall pick." “My comp for him would be Drew Brees,” Kiper said. “Drew Brees’ arm got stronger once he got in the NFL with the Chargers and the Saints. Jake Fromm will probably go a little higher than that.” https://www.dawgnation.com/football/georgia-football-jake-fromm-2020-nfl-draft ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Fromm as the fifth-best quarterback eligible for the 2020 draft, behind LSU's Joe Burrow, Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, Oregon's Justin Herbert and Washington's Jacob Eason. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28447520/georgia-quarterback-jake-fromm-entering-nfl-draft If you like I can keep going. Fromm lost a lot of talent he was used to playing with in his junior year including his Center and multiple Wrs. Not having the best combine, covid19 didnt allow him a pro day or private work outs with NFL clubs leading up to the draft. He slid because of it, and im glad, because we got a great kid and a hell of a team player. If Allen faulters this year, we have the goods in the pipeline and im ecstatic.
  4. Im sooo pumped up about this kid. Burst, power, and balance. I think he may shock people with his game speed. I cant wait until these new players can hit the field!
  5. Not even in the same category. Fromm is a victim of Covid19. Had a questionable showing at the combine and never had a chance to recover. No pro day, no private workouts. Had he had those opportunities he most likely goes in the 2nd to 3rd.
  6. Go backand watch more tape....here Ill help. This dude has thrown more passes against top tier defenses than any other Qb in the draft....but yea... Weak arm, too slow, not athletic...sure....all I do is throw Tds though. And win....
  7. They throw willingly and knowingly. Its for velocity only. They are tracked by both radar and in many instances, chip inside the ball as well. These numbers are accurate. Just because a qb can throw all out at 55 mph doesn't mean hes going to do it all the time. Different situations require different needs of velocity. Hardly ever is a Qb throwing max power.
  8. He's definitely a more polished passer than Allen and i don't even think it's close. At this stage of the game Allen is the starter and its his position to lose. Based on Fromms history, if he gets a shot at the go ahead, you best believe he's going to make the best of it. Im just relieved we have a solid pick in the pipe line. Im skeptical of Allen, that's no secret, but I feel much better knowing they got solid young talent right behind him. If Allen shows he's plateaued and this kid is looking good behind him, it will make the transition away from Allen that much easier. This kid is a great insurance policy, imo.
  9. How many starters did Fromm lose from 2018 to 2019? People act like he didn't post great numbers last year. He posted good numbers just not elite numbers, and the reason was the loss of multiple Wrs and linemen who he played with for the two previous seasons. He didnt fall off, the talent and coordinator did.
  10. Im happy about the Fromm pick for multiple reasons. First and foremost is the value. This was a stellar pick in that round. Second is youth that can be further developed on what is already a great baseline. Third, if Allen faulters in anyway be it injury or performance, there is a hungry, capable guy in the pipeline...which is NEVER BAD. Die hard Allen fans feel threatened by this pick, so of course to them he's some trashy 5th rounder who will never make it. The funny thing is they couldn't be more wrong and are blinded by ignorance. Fromm was a great pick and time will tell how great it could be.
  11. Here's the percentage of pass attempts by each top QB in the draft that came vs. top-50 defenses by SP+: 1. Jake Fromm, 77.92% 2. Tua Tagovailoa, 60.71% 3. Joe Burrow, 57.87% 4. Justin Herbert, 44.39% 5. Jacob Eason, 35.56% 6. Jordan Love, 30.02% — Jim Sannes (@JimSannes) January 18, 2020
  12. His combine. Aparantly he had a weak combine day. With Corona virus shutting down the country he was never able to rebound through private workouts. That made his draft capital sink. NFL Clubs pick Qbs with tangibles over intangibles when their back is against the wall. This kid was predicted as a first rounder last summer and even talked about as 1 over all amongst his Qb class.
  13. A better skill-set than incredibly accurate, incredibly smart, and an incredible winner in the toughest division in college.....um okay I don't care about rocket arms and running. I care about intelligence, accuracy, and processing of information.
  14. We see this often: Ownership tasks a GM to win, and win now. So the GM panics and signs free agents who don't deserve the blank checks and big jobs they're offered. Other times, we see these general managers back themselves into a corner by drafting an EJ Manuel or Ryan Tannehill in the first round because they have to get a quarterback. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2844075-jake-fromm-is-the-perfect-qb-prospect-for-win-now-nfl-teams
  15. Again, what is the alternative? Do you want me to be happy over a quarterback who has terrible stats? I'm unsure what you're so unhappy about. This was a great draft pick especially in the round that he was taken in.
  16. With 78 tds and 18 ints, who cares? Brady has a puny arm. Montana had a puny arm. Accuracy and information pocessing speed is much more important.
  17. You're right, I'd rather they drafted a guy with terrible college stats because that would somehow be likeable?
  18. Over 63% career completion 8.4 yards per attempt on career 156 career Qb rating 3 year starter What's not to like?
  19. They brought in a guy who can catch go routes for days, but can Allen connect???
  20. I think we have a great young combo of RBs. The best thing of all is this shouldn't be like the days of old where teams stack 8 in the box knowing we have the intentions on running. We should have a formidable passing game to complement this running attack. If this happens to be the case, these backs will explode on defense's that must remain honest. These types of picks complement the entire offense as a whole. I have zero doubt Moss will have a big impact. McBeane know what they want and how they want to use it.
  21. I love the pick! We need a youth injection in the position and he can slowly be brought around and groomed. It's not necessary to throw him to the wolves.
