Lol you said that like it’s a bad thing...but Jamarcus with athleticism smarts (and work ethic) could have been a pro bowler..

Pretty sure you made that up. 

 

Mayfield was terrible in the senior bowl game. He has an issue with holding the ball too long. He is going to have to clean that up at the NFL level if he wants to succeed.

 

Allen’s senior bowl was fantastic. I can hardly wait to see what he does with NFL talent in minicamp and training camp.

The senior bowl is the NCAA Pro Bowl. If that's where you're making your case about a player you're doing it wrong.

He's ancient.  I think his forte is actually horse racing.

That's overstating it quite a bit.  Yes, there is no blitzing, but if you don't think most of these kids are using that game to try and impress NFL scouts you're dead wrong.

Probably an aspiring QB who wants to emulate the best to ever play the game. I see a lot of Brady in Allen, it's clear he emulates many aspects of Brady's game.

What exactly did Beane and McDermott see in Allen that made them willing to move Glenn, #12, #53, #56?

Expand  

 

Ok this is the third or fourth time you’ve said this and it annoys me. The Bills traded #21 and Glenn for #12. You can say they gave up Glenn, #21, #53, #56. Or you can say #12, #53, #56. You just jumble it to make the trade up look “worse” in your eyes.

This is just wrong.

Reports conflict with this opinion:

 

Chris Simms, a former NFL quarterback and co-host of the Simms & Lefkoe podcast on Bleacher Report, reported Tuesday that the Cardinals were "heartbroken" they didn't land Wyoming QB Josh Allen -- and in fact, the Cardinals and Denver Broncos were prepared to make a trade that would allow that to happen.

But the selection made by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 4 overall pick -- one spot ahead of the Broncos at No. 5 -- threw a wrench into those plans.

"Everything I know is that the No. 5 pick with the Broncos, the trade was in place, and it was with Arizona. And then (defensive end Bradley) Chubb was on the board," Simms said. "The Arizona Cardinals were heartbroken they did not get Josh Allen."

Simms' assertion matches up with a pair of reports from before the draft. In late March, Fox Sports' Joel Klatt reported the Cardinals "absolutely love" Allen. Then, less than a week before the draft, Mike Klis at 9News in Denver reported the Cardinals were one of three teams that had been in touch with the Broncos about making a trade with to Denver in exchange for the No. 5 pick.

Cardinals wanted QB Patrick Mahomes last year. Wanted QB Kirk Cousins and QB Josh Allen this year. Got QB Josh Rosen, who many consider best thrower in this year’s draft.

That 2nd half of the Senior Bowl was great , after a rough start . The more I watch and listen to guys who've been around the game their whole lives described him as unbelievable, special,etc . It really gets me thinking we got an absolute steal.

Many reports claim Cle was pro Allen on one and it created a little rift with the staff. I think we got a steal when it's all said and done

Mayfield had that issue all season. His average time before throwing was over 3 seconds. He won’t have that type of time in the NFL. If he is going to be successful at the NFL level he needs to make quicker decisions.

Yet the two DBs Buffalo selected had very good senior bowl weeks respectively. Teams do put emphasis on the Senior Bowl.

The senior bowl is useful. It is really nothing like a pro bowl. Everyone is giving 100% effort since they are applying for NFL jobs. The schemes are basic so there is no hiding flaws. You have to go one on one against someone and beat them.

And that's one of the things I liked about Allen's Senior Bowl, despite the defenses being vanilla, some of the throws were dropped in a bucket.

 

Also, you can hear Mayock saying that balls needed to be caught by the likes of Hamilton for instance. Allen's ball placement was on point, the WRs weren't doing him favors in certain situations.

I also think it is important to find WRs with outstanding hands. Allen throws with a lot of velocity. If a WR has drop issues it will happen more often with Allen’s velocity.

More importantly than athleticism and a nice wonderlic, by all accounts, Allen has the work ethic and desire required to be a successful QB.

 

Do you guys remember the story about the Raiders staff giving Russel a blank DVD which they said had the game plan for the following Sunday on it, the next day they asked him if he watched it and he said yes. Russel's desire to be a good/great NFL QB just wasn't there.

No excuse to buy and take pictures in that jersey when you're from central California. He also retweeted something about how Bills Mafia has nothing on Gronkowski family gatherings or some such pats* oriented joke. It seems that that he is/was somewhat of a pats* fan, and it's gross. Outside of this, he seems like a good kid.

You'd think he'd be a 49ers or Raiders fan growing up. Apparently he's one of those annoying bandwagon types. Oh well. As long as he can read defenses, make fast progressions and put the ball on the money where it needs to be...he could still be wearing Brady jerseys for all I care.

Brady is from that area. He's arguably the greatest QB of all time. Of course young kid QBs in CA are going to look up to him. I dont fault him for that.

 

But I'm glad he's moving on.

It was stuff like this that (supposedly) made the Browns pass on Carson Wentz. 

 

They hired a supposed analytics guru and he and their GM (at the time) Sashi Brown studied analytics, looked at Wentz's somewhat pedestrian stats and how they declined in his draft year, and came to the conclusion that Carson Wentz would never be a top 15-20 starter in the NFL. So they traded the pick to Philly...

Your outlook on it is wrong

Dig deeper sir

Josh Allen is NOT J. Russel just because they are both physical specimens and cannon arm

 

I live in Raider country.....know all about the bust.  The guy had NO WORK ETHIC.....was extremely entitled coming out of college....and it got worse when he got to the Raiders.....no diet having, too much partying, no work ethic to continue to try to improve

 

Josh Allen has had doors shut in his face all the way to being drafted by the Bills.....he knows what work ethic is....for christ sake the kid is a FARM BOY.....have you ever moved pipe on a farm?   I have.......Josh knows what it means to work for a living.
