Big Turk Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Scream WTF are you doing and know they will be drafting another QB in a few years after he has an EJ Manuel like stint here
maryland-bills-fan Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Get a guy who has proved he can do it, rather than a guy who hasn't but might do it better. I use this line in bars as well.
Dr. Who Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I prefer Allen, even though it's obviously a gamble. Beane isn't going to risk his job on a fella if our braintrust doesn't have a strong feeling Allen is a good risk.

Edit: If anyone throws their tv outside please record it so we can enjoy it here. Thanks Curious...why do you think you know more than Beane and the whole front office? Meaning, if they trade up and take Allen, why do you think your opinion that Rosen is better than Allen is more accurate than the months and months of in depth analysis, interviews, etc that none of us can begin to comprehend that the staff put into making that decision? How about we all just excited that we drafted a guy our regime felt so strongly about we made a trade to get them and chose them over someone else. There is a side of me that kind of wants it to be Allen just so I can people watch all the arm chair GM's here go on suicide watch for the next 6 months. Allen isnt my personal choice, but if the staff feels he is the right guy, I will back it and be fine with it. Personally, I think we can get Allen or Rosen anywhere from pick 5 to our own pick at 12, so I would much prefer we stay put or trade less resources to get into that range rather than mortgage a ton to get to #2, especially if its for either of those guys who have strong chance to be available outside the top 4 picks. 1
GunnerBill Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I would be pretty miffed. I would try and get behind it but I still put the chances of Allen becoming a franchise QB way below the chances of Josh Rosen. 1

I agree with this, though I would trade up to 2 for Darnold.

JerseyBills Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I trust Beane and Co versus the majority opinion on here. No offense!
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Just now, Dr. Who said: I prefer Darnold, but I like Baker, too. I just haven't gotten much of an impression that we are looking at him. They have met a lot with Baker actually, so I think he's very much in play. But like you, I also like Darnold. But truthfully, I will be excited about any of the top 5 or 6 guys as they all are strong prospects in their own right. But like anyone, I have my preferences.
Brandon Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 To be honest, I don't think I have a strong preference among the top four, so I think I'd be OK with this. I think Rosen is (barely) the best overall prospect of the bunch, but in terms of personality, I don't know about him, especially in a blue collar town like Buffalo.

At the time I made the thread it looked certain Darnold was going to Cleveland . Also looking around the boards there are the least amount of support for Allen than any other top 4 QB Would you prefer I sub Darnold for Rosen in the title?
Radar Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I think there is a real possibility that if you trade up to #4 that Allen is the one left.
Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 But he has presence ..... Just like EJ Broad Side of a Barn Manuel

I'm high on Rosen and like him the most of the Big 4, but we don't know how the interviews went, and we dont know what the FO plans are. Yet we see these NFL FOs operate every year and know that they really have no better clue than the avid fans of football and in the case of the Bills historically, that may be giving the FO way too much credit.
