    how is Josh Allen doing so far?

    Posted · Edited by Aussie Joe

    Let’s wait for Mahomes to do something first...i got nothing against the guy and I’ll be the first to acknowledge if he is a “generational talent” but at the moment I’m thinking that the Chiefs should have taken Watson instead..

     

    Like they should have taken Kelly or Marino back in 1983... (ouch)..

    You might be right, but I think AJ is more likely, but what do I know.  He has more NFL experience than a guy who throws five picks in one half.

     

    Agree that AJ is way more likely to start based on what we have seen in the past...

     

    I think they need to decide between the two relatively quickly as they are both relatively inexperienced and need as much time as possible to develop some chemistry with KB , Clay and whoever the heck the rest of the receivers end up being...

    From what I hear from Sal and Vic, it sounds like they are bringing along slowly with the 3rds.  I agree with their decision to take it slow with hm and get as many reps for AJ as possible as he’s definitely the starting guy week 1.  Josh needs time to develop.  He will learn the system slowly and when he’s finally ready, I trust McD and Daboll will get him in with the 1’s.  

     

    Just remember what happened to the older Carr who was killed when the Texans who put him out there week1.  I know they had to as an expansion team, but it ruined him he was sacked so many times.

     

    i don’t care if we see him at all this year, but if the experts think he is ready, they know when to put him in there.

     

    In respect of AJ being the guaranteed starter Week 1, based on what I have heard to date they still appear to be giving Peterman equal time with the 1's so they might not have made up their minds yet..

    The supplemental draft, is there anyone in there for us?

    So they won’t give up a 4th but someone else will likely use a 1st or 2nd? At some point the talent outweighs the risk. 

     

    I think character has has been a consideration but intelligence seems to be at the top of their requirements. You are going to have a few guys with character concerns in every NFL locker room. The Bills employed Incognito. Zay Jones clearly has some issues. Adolphus Washington has been in trouble a few times. Deonte Thompson has been arrested for weed. That’s why I’d have Beal as a 4th. That is where the value is too good to pass up (at a position of need). 

     

     

    You would have him for a 4th, and another team might go higher but I’m doubting the Bills would offer anything for him...

     

    Yes, they are big on intelligence, so why would they want Beal who can’t keep his grades at minimum standard?

    Yeah it would have sucked to get Josh Gordon.

     

    The Bills should use a 4th on Beal (although I doubt that gets it done). The Bills have 2 4ths next year. Maybe they can steal the long-term starter opposite Tre?

     

    Right or wrong, your first consideration of whether a player is suitable to come to  the Bills is their talent.

     

    In the decisions McDermott and Beane have made over the past 12 months, their first consideration is character.

     

    I just can’t comprehend them giving up a 4th rounder on some guy that can’t even keep up with the minimum academic requirements to continue their study with all the extra help and tutoring that would be made available..guy must either be lazy or as dumb as a post..

    When after the regular springtime draft circumstances lead to one or more college players being ruled ineligible to continue to play college ball, (whether due to academics, disciplinary issues or whatever) the league typically holds a supplemental draft to provide a controlled means of incorporating those players into the league rather than letting them become free agents or forcing them to sit until the following year's draft.

     

    Yes.. I think others in the thread explained the same thing earlier...

    Tyrod Taylor: I still feel that I’d done more than enough to stay

    This is all that needs to be said with regards to Tyrod Taylor and the 2017 Buffalo Bills.

     

    It became 100% obvious the moment the bills traded down in the 2017 draft and acquired a 2018 first round draft pick that we were going to be finding our franchise QB in the 2018 draft. It was absolutely obvious at that point. I don't think you would find anyone who didn't say it was absolutely obvious. And it became more obvious every time we acquired a new draft pick.

     

    "Ya know, the Bills might draft Watson or Mahomes in this draft... we hear they REALLY like Trubisky."

     

    ...

     

    "Oh, they traded down, didn't take a QB in the 1st, and acquired a 1st round pick in next year's class, which we already think will be pretty strong???"

    Traded Sammy acquired a 2nd.

     

     

     

    Traded Darby acquired a 3rd.

     

     

     

    Traded Glenn to move from 21 to 12.

     

     

     

    Taylor isn't a Bill in 2019, and the primary isn't his play, which was good enough for a team drowning in the longest playoff drought in sports (and yes, Taylor was undeniably an important contributor to that playoff run), it's the fact that the Bills got an offer they couldn't refuse, an offer that would ultimately catapult them into even stronger contention to trade up in an upcoming draft to get a QB in a class that, over almost a year of playing out at that point, was turning out to be as strong, if not stronger than it appeared it would be a year ago when the 2017 draft happened and we made an obvious long-game decision.

     

    Taylor is gone because the 2018 QB class was stronger than expected and, more importantly, the Bills got a REALLY valuable pick for him.

     

    Otherwise, he's still in Buffalo.

     

     

     

    Cant you get your point across without the ridiculous animation?
