This is about the lowest I've ever felt on draft night, and that includes Maybin and Erec Flowers. I don’t remember the Flowers’ draft but Maybin was more numbness than total disappointment. But at least they drafted a qb, even though it’s the one I think who is most likely to be a bust.

Awwufelloff Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Beane: It's snowy and windy in Wyoming, so lets draft the guy with the same weather conditions. I'm so sick of the Bills drafting QBs based on the weather. Buffalos weather in Sep/Oct/Nov is warm and sunny. Only one month of the season features bad weather. Bradys arm is mediocre at his age, but his accuracy is unmatched and he will still destroy us for another few years. Accurate>>>physical qualities always. Edited April 27, 2018 by Awwufelloff 1
Green Lightning Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Any draft that you pick Mel Kiper's favorite quarterback is a bad draft. 2 1 1
Disinterested Observer Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 The first round is not even over yet and the sky is already falling. The negativity is overwhelming. 1

Im only hearing the EJ comparisons on Bills boards. Everywhere else compares him to Rothlisberger, Wentz and Newton. As a Bills fan I get that we all want to think negatively right away but the potential is there. He was also talked about as the biggest boom or bust guy so maybe all the comparisons are good. Only time will tell if it’s the good comparisons or EJ. 1

I'm getting so tired of outsiders (the media, and apparently, FO transplants) saying a certain kind of player has to be picked to fit in to Buffalo. Why can't we just pick the best players, period. And forget all this "He's Buffalo" sterotyping.... 6

I just remember thinking what the hell does that mean, “It”? This is for you, my friend. The good stuff starts around 1:20. 1

Bangarang Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I really wish we can stop with this weather nonsense. We get it, it gets cold and there is snow on the ground in the winter. Why does it have to make up the identity of our offense? This whole run the ball and drafting QBs with big hands to throw it in the swirling winds blah blah blah Just once I’d like to draft a guy who is good at actually passing the ball and gets to rip it on Sundays. I foresee the next several years of being an offense that has the fewest passing attempts simply because our QBs suck at it. Three yards and a cloud of dust buecause we are a blue collar town and that’s what we deserve Edited April 27, 2018 by Bangarang 3

Carmel Corn Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Geez, the overall reaction on this board is depressing and ridiculous. Those who don't like the Allen pick obviously know much more about football than our front office and should have been in the war room instead. There was nothing we could do within reason to get Mayfield or Darnold, so it boils down to all of you being pissed about not getting Josh Rosen. Rosen is a good prospect, no doubt but given the status of our o-line, he may get hit again and again. Two concussions in one season is a big red "flag" concerning his durability. Believe what you want about his personality, but I wonder about how coachable he is. Not convinced he is a better long-term option for the Bills. I like Allen's size and abilities. He may take longer to develop, but you all need to give him, our GM and coaching staff a chance to show they know more than us fans. 1
bobobonators Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Lmao. Reading all these negative posts. Are all of you on medication? How is it possible to be this negative? Geeze fellas. 1
NickelCity Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 To be fair, and I categorize myself as the audience for this comment, we didn't mortgage the future. I hope we show the guts to draft another QB high if Allen fails. Of course I hope he's the next big ben more... 2

HappyDays Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I would have liked them to mention more positives than "he's a great athlete" and "he played in bad weather." That doesn't make me confident they made this pick for the right reasons. 1
