It’s Allen. Russ Brandon leaked the Twitter screenshots.

We’re not trading up imo. Hope I’m wrong.

They must like Keenum way too much.

Makes no sense. The farm doesn’t have any studs in it, so I’m not sure what the value of keeping is.

Morons if true.

How can the Bills not trade up? They have the ammo. Are they being cheap? Or are teams asking for way too much?

Something about Darnold sounds and looks like a bust.

Sell the farm now.

And leapfrogged a division opponent to do it. Bills need to get into this forth spot.

I’d love to know what, if anything we offered the Giants. The RB pick is confusing.

He’s going to us. Russ Brandon took those screenshots so he would fall. Brandon is a marketing genius after all.

Allen is worse because he was awful his last season in college, and he wasn’t smart enough to delete those tweets.

No question. It’s such a he said she said thing, there is no way we’ll ever know the truth.

I think it says more about the guy asking the question than the guy being asked. I’ve always noticed that lots of guys in athletics have a strange fascination with homosexuality.

I agree, what shouldn’t be forgotten is his completion percentage.

I agree, Tyreek Hill’s issue is glossed over because he is good. Allen is a project with accuracy issues. If he looks like a bust early on (which is very possible) the media will be all over him. I’m in total agreement that he isn’t a guy I’d be using an early draft pick on to begin with.

Yeah, all is forgiven and sometimes forgotten with success on the field. Many of the greats (Big Ben, Ray Lewis) have had their issues almost completely forgotten by the media. With the exception of a small group of fans who remember, their success overshadowed their character flaws. I’d be most worried that Allen is a project QB with accuracy issues. It’s unlikely that he gets off to a hot start imo. If he does struggle early on, this could become a distraction to the team who drafts him. I guess I somewhat believe that it would be just if he takes a big drop because there is no way Allen belongs in the top 10 to begin with imo. It would place unfair expectations on him, and these tweets only further complicate them.

At least he hasn’t attempted to deny the fact that he was the creator of these tweets. I’ll give him credit for that, rather than blaming the Russians or something.

Allen’s tweets probably missed them, just like his passes to receivers.

Science says the brain isn’t fully developed until 25, so Allen can actually keep saying whatever dumb crap he wants for a while according to science ?

This makes it quite comical that teams have an issue with Rosen’s intelligence.

I never said any of the things that you say I said. I said that I’d be willing to give up a lot to choose a QB from this class. Failing to secure one of the top guys would be a failure imo. However, I never said that I’m ready to label Beane failure.

I would give up a lot, and without concrete examples I cannot give you specifics. Everything the current regime has done would lead one to believe they were all in on a QB in 2018. Personally, I really like the 2018 draft class, and that plays a big role in my perception of this process. I’m not worried about what I might lose before attempting to gain a franchise changing player. Who knows how this draft will play out? It’s possible that they might not need to trade up to get a guy they like. If not, I’d be willing to give up quite a bit.

The Chargers have demonstrated utter incompetence since drafting Rivers (who is great, but can be a melodramatic inconsistent turnover machine himself). Let’s get our QB in place before worrying about failing to secure other positions. We can use those outlier examples all you want, but they are the exception rather than the rule. There is no way you can build a team around a guy like Dilfer. The 2000 Ravens required an all time great defense to win that championship. A GM can not build a team with the goal of putting together an all time great defense. Doing so requires far too many lucky breaks. It’s not something that can planned. Discovering a franchise QB is a bit of a lotto ticket as well. However, there is one key difference, I’d rather attempt to find one winning lotto ticket as opposed to eleven. Building an all time great defense requires eleven lotto tickets. As far as Foles is concerned, he got hot at the right time imo. Start him next season and he’s back to looking like the average guy he is. It’s strange how many people use this argument, and act like Carson Wentz doesn’t exist.

The farm has no value without a QB.
