    Definitely.  And I do NOT fault Beane for bringing him in.  Everyone has an injury history of some sort.  It's a crap shoot.  I'm sure if Luke Keuchly was available, multiple teams would show interest.

    Who was the other center that everyone assumed we were going after? From Denver iirc. Maybe that should have been the choice.

    Oh, I hope you're not too uncomfortable. Have you had anything to eat? Once you eat the food, you'll start thinking correctly. 

    Then, of course, you'll have to stop hanging out with your friends and family. We only start by asking for 25% of your salary.

    25% is cheaper than I have seen elsewhere. Do you have those "special" protien shakes?

    Hmmmmm. Not at all what I saw. Did you tune in to the wrong game or are you a troll?

     

    I'm starting to think I'm on a cult forum. Similiar to ABCbodybuilding.com back from the early 2000's. If you did not staunchly follow creationism you were banned from the forums. Very fascistic.

    It’s fair to question a 2nd year QB’s possible future progress. But you joined less than a day ago and your 12 posts consistently spew negativity regarding Allen with your ‘always’ & ‘nevers’. This is what WE call spam. The threads you’ve chosen to spice up within your element accurately label you a troll with an agenda with an alarmingly short life expectancy. Consider yourself warned.

     

    What about all the "pizza posts" and the like in this thread, are they considered spam? If not, I'm confused.

    I'm a fan of Josh, I just don't think he's going to be the guy.

    With that being said, I don't think we can take away much from a preseason game, even if he looked amazing.

    We saw Peterman look pretty damn good with the offense last preseason, didn't mean a thing.

    My main issue with Allen as a player is that his success depends on him becoming a player he's never been before at any level... Unlike a lot of QB's that needed time to develop into great players in the NFL, Allen wasn't exactly lighting it up during his college career either.


    Example: you may see some QB's just put up insane numbers and play out of their minds in college, then hope that one day they can perform that way in the pros. You want to get them to that same level, only against higher competition. Mahomes for instance put up ridiculous numbers & carried Texas Tech as best he could, and seeing that made you think "man, if he could do that in the pros he'd be great!"

    But even if you got Allen's absolute best in college, only now in the NFL, that wouldn't be anything great. If you're drafting a QB hoping they can play as great as they did in the past, Allen wouldn't be the guy you'd draft. In other words, the coaching staff was under the impression that they had the tools to make him into an elite QB themselves, something other coaches haven't been able to do yet.

     

    And therein lies the issue. McDermott is a great Defensive minded HC, but he doesn't appear to be the best QB evaluator out there. This is the same guy who thought we were so perfectly ok at the QB position that we didn't need a veteran at the position to help groom Allen, and that we also were perfectly fine trading away McCarron, and perfectly fine starting Nathan Peterman.... Then he proceeds to yank the guy he was so confident in by halftime, and forces the rookie 1st round pick, who was known to be the most raw QB of the big 4 drafted, into game action already....

    Took him a while to realize how dumb that was, then snagged Anderson as quickly as he could, that backfired, then had to grab Barkley out of a park to just have ANYONE to trot out there. Luckily Barkley ended up playing great, but the entire situation was botched from the start.

    TL;DR - McDermott hasn't shown that he even knows how to evaluate the QB position, Allen hasn't ever played like a great QB at any level, so hoping McDermott & Co. can coach him into a player he's never shown he can be, only now in the NFL, seems really, REALLY unlikely. 

    Finally a post that makes sense, I didn't understand all the other spam posts.

     

    I agree about McDermott and his lack of talent evaluation skills. Passing on Mahomes and drafting a "tools" QB could prove to be yet another huge Bills blunder. This is why I think Mahomes and Allen will always be linked to many Bills fans in terms of their career paths.

    The improvement of this roster is incredible.

    ....despite the "fire McBeane...fire Dermott" yipsters, this regime certainly is the best of the seventeen year drought, a conglomeration of misplaced, misguided "F Troop" gang (apologies to Sgt O'Rourke)....hell they have the potential to be better than the Polian era.....never understood why our "clueless Owner" didn't heed the TBD "fire experts".....probably never got the memo....

     

    Wow, I think maybe the defense, but not sure that can be said about the offense.

    Beasley won't finish the season - Allen has him as his "Fav" already, and only a matter of time before the opposing LB's figure it out, and start running at him already in full speed. QB's like him and Edwards, Manuel, Taylor that struggle to move the chains, usually have a pinata that takes a beating. I remember the beating and injury that TE Derek Schouman took with Edwards.

     

     

     

    I'm worried about that same issue.  It only takes one bad pass to lead a guy like Beasley to a serious injury.
