RD1, Pick 7: Josh Allen QB - Wyoming
Straight Hucklebuck replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That was me. Brian from Arcade. Almost missed the call because I was making the kids lunches for school. Like Murph, Sal is in constant defend mode. NFL Coaches and GMs constantly tell their fans that “the tape” is the centerpiece of their evaluations, and that the Combine is useful mainly for the interviews/medical, not the measures. Josh Allen at #7 is a prime example of why that’s not always the case. Can’t be. No way you watched that career and concluded a Mountain West honorable mention was worth #12, #53, #56 and Cordy Glenn, but Deshaun Watson wasn’t worth #10 last year other than 6’5” and 82-yards worth of arm strength. Simply put, Beane and McDermott can’t get their head out of Carolina. They wanted their own big, strong armed QB that reminded them of Cam. They saw a 6’5” guy with a rocket and made their game tape/evaluation fit that decision. Listen to Beane speak about Allen. Sounds awfully similar to Nix/Whaley at the 2013 season ticket holders box club speaking about Manuel’s size and room presence and never once mentioning reading a defense or throwing accurately. How is Allen a better prospect than Cardale Jones? He’s not. Cardale had more college success, was the same size, had the same arm, was the same age coming out, was just as raw. But Whaley picked him and we can’t have that (ego). It it bothers me to hear 35/40-Year video vet Cosell talk about pocket presence & accuracy, and our GM is talking about snowy weather and running the ball. Once again the Bills are going for the Rudy story. Hoping beyond hope that they outsmarted the league by swimming away from logic and selecting the diamond in the rough. Sal is already talking about obtaining WRs with large “catch radius” to help inaccurate Allen (literally heard all of these ideas about Manuel - the footwork, picking brain of a vet, working with a QB guru, getting elite talent around him). Does our Coach really mean to change our offense to an aggressive throw deep style? You’re doing that with Kelvin Benjamin as your #1 and Zay Jones as your #2? After all it’s still snowy, cold Buffalo and we need to pound the ball. -

This is Beane and McDermott recreating Cam. They cant get their heads out of Carolina. -
Annoyed at the negativity
Straight Hucklebuck replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Because Primetime101 the logic of trading Glenn, trading two 2nd Rounders and #12 for a guy who had that college career is questionable. Has never dominated at any level of football. Our GM sounds just like Whaley discussing EJ Manuel. He’s tall, he has a big arm, he has presence. But you don’t hear Beane speak on his ability to read a defense or throw a ball accurately. Somehow what a QB actually has to do physically gets left out of the evaluation. -
Why the Bills Won't Trade Up to #2 (or 3 or 4)
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It took three 2nds for the Jets to move up from 6 to 3. For the Bills to get to 12 to 2? It will take 12, 22, 53, 56 and probably next years first. -
Allen or Jackson or Rudolph
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Bakin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Anybody but Josh Allen. -
Why all the hate for Josh Allen?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Buff76ers's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
INACCURATE Cosell has stated he needs a ton of work. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/greg-cosells-draft-analysis-josh-allen-young-wild-stallion-needs-channeled-163817268.html -
Sammy Watkins is a lunatic
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The NFL is still waiting to see all these reptilian solar skills Sammy has. Four years in and the #4 pick in the draft has yet to have a better season than 7th Rounder Steve Johnson. -
The decision on Tyrod was made a long time ago: he isn’t good enough to win a Super Bowl. Doesnt matter if he is better than AJ McCarro. (I don’t even consider what Peterman is because he sucks). This Staff, and I think they’re correct, has decided to break away from Year 4 of Tyrod Taylor and set out to find our own Franchise QB. I don’t always agree with the Bills FO, that’s for sure, but come on people, the Band Aid has to get ripped off at some point. You can’t keep taking Trent, Ryan, Kyle, Tyrod and going year after year hoping for the Rudy story. I appreciate Tyrod’s efforts, he was a true professional. But he’s not good enough to halt your plans, put your coaching position on the line and build around. Jauron got fired trying to build around Trent, Chan got fired sticking with Fitzpatrick, Marrone wanted Orton back, and Rex/Whaley couldn’t do better than EJ/Tyrod. Its time.

Who had the strongest arm in NFL history?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mike Vick could really spin the ball with just a flick. -
Biggest FA regret coming from Buffalo
Straight Hucklebuck replied to ProcessYaDigg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jairus Byrd. I admit I thought the Bills were cheaping out with him, but he dropped out of the league immediately. -
Was breaking the drought worth it?

Yes, next. -
Is there a rush to judgement on Peterman?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Peterman sucks, get over it. Throwing up the 199th pick from 18 years ago does not relate in anyway to Nate Peterman. What does relate to Nate Peterman is his awful play on the field in the limited chances he’s been out there. This is reminds me of the fans who thought Jeff Tuel was the answer, or wanted Brian Brohm to get more time. -
Was Buddy Nix A Good GM? Make Your Case
Straight Hucklebuck replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nix was an atrocious GM, and should have never been in that position to begin with. Ralph and Russ “scanned a list of names” and only interviewed two in house candidates: failed Jauron holdover, JohnGuy, and scout Buddy Nix. Nix was atrocious. 2010 - Extended Kelsay, flipped the defense to a 3-4 for 9 weeks, and blew most of the draft on the switch (none of those players worked out), hired Chan Gailey who was out of football, traded Lynch for chump change and decided to keep both holdover QBs on the roster. He also failed on his second Head Coach choice in Marrone, and never seriously attempted to fix the Quarterback position, all the while the defense kept flip flopping back and forth from a 4-3 to a 3-4 with disastrous results. -
How much it will actually cost to get to #2
Straight Hucklebuck replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it will take 12, 21, both 2nd Rounders and a 1st next year. -
Is there a rush to judgement on Peterman?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Give me a break. Whatever man. Maybe we we should find Levi Jones because after all he was a 7th Rounder and he “never got a fair shake”. Nate Peterman stunk up the joint immediately. -
I liked Tyrod back in 2015 and was rooting for him beat out EJ and Matt Cassel. But like Holcomb and Trent and Fitzpatrick before him, it’s just starts getting old watching the oscillation between poor and pretty good. You never get elite play, you never get winning. It starts feeling long in the tooth at the end of Year 2 with these guys. You’re always have one foot out the door.

Why not give McCarron an honest chance?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Because he’s a backup. We gave Trent Edwards 3 years. We gave Ryan Fitzpatrick 3 years. We gave Orton a year and wanted him back for Year 2. We gave Tyrod Taylor 3 years. That’s 10 of the last 11 years trying to make up backups the “Franchise QB”. That’s why. -
Where are the HOLES on this Team???
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Punt75's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Our Front 7 is mediocre and has no depth or up and coming players. LB depth is non-existent. OLine is thin after Wood retirement and Glenn trade. Still no answer at RG or RT. Incognito is well into his 30’s now. No backup RB with juice in his legs. Little to no WR depth. No QB. Tight End has been lacking the entire duration of this Franchise. One corner that we can count on Day One. -

Straight Hucklebuck replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don’t care what the anomalies are. He’s barely played a game and a half total and has 6 picks already. I cant think of anything fans saw in him that makes anyone want to invest more time in him. A 5th Rounder is not a plan at QB. -
Was Trent Edwards broken?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to The Red King's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The concussion didn’t ruin his career or alter the trajectory it was on. He played the same style from Day One. Trent had no guts, no killer instinct, no emotion. -
Browns are going QB with 1st pick
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just take the Bills blueprint. Take McGahee when you already have Travis Henry on the roster, or Spiller when you already have Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch on the roster. -
Bills sign QB AJ McCarron
Straight Hucklebuck replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is the FA QB I wanted. Good signing with contract flexibility.
