How long do you give Allen?

[Bakin]

Bills fans don’t have any patience for QB development. 

 

And while I’m somewhat indifferent about the selection of Allen - clearly he’s a good kid, prototypical size, rocket arm, loads of potential - my fear is that our fans will give him 8 games and then set his house on fire if he doesn’t look like the 2nd coming of Elway. 

 

How many Bills fans would have been ok with Goff starting year 2 - he would have been written off as a bust by 90% of us. 

 

So my question to you is - assuming JA starts 2018 - how long do you give Him?  6 games?  3 years?  

 

How long can you, as a fan, hold off from the bust or boom label for our potential franchise QB?

It's gonna be a looooooong offseason.

[Will-GM-for-food]

4 years

[Doc]

Have to give him at least a year and a half. 

[PromoTheRobot]

He's not playing this year. Accept that.

[BullBuchanan]

I have a feeling we'll know who he is in 6 games. That's about how long Manuel got. However, my hope is that McCarron makes Cinci look like fools and Allen never plays a snap.

4 maybe 5 years.

[Murdox]

Hard to say, but we also need to remember Rosen suffered two concussions already.  That may be a problem for him going forward in the NFL.  I think Allen is more durable, so you might throw him behind our crappy line earlier and give him this season if he beats out AJ.

A year.

[Mij yllek]

18 years and then the mandatory waiting period for Canton Ohio.

We still haven't won the Super Bowl

 

Is it time to trade up for Rudolph in the second?

[MAJBobby]

20 - 26 starts like i give every QB 

[Acattack15]

Let him sit for 1 year.... maybe 2yrs....

 

Investment for the next decade. this pick was about 2019/2020..... be patient and let it play out.

 

 

[Rc2catch]

After reading the board tonight I think we should trade him to Miami for a conditional 6th rounder. 

[K-9]

1,000 attempts. I’m old school.

20 years 8 Super Bowl victories.

It's easier to give someone like Allen alot longer than EJ. EJ had no elite skills. Being that Allen is a height/weight/arm strength prototype, he will naturally get more time imo.

Besides the mentions of Rosen's general douchebaggery, injuries were likely a big factor in why McBeane went with Allen. Even draft grade comparisons put his comp as Bradford.
