Some of you are out of control lol..

Like they didn’t meet with the guy, talk to his coaches, watch his tape, these are professional evaluators with their careers on the line, I think they see something they can work with here. It wasn’t even a forced EJ Manual pick, it’s the guy they wanted. 

R-E-L-A-X

Exactly!  I was hopeful for Rosen, but we need to give Allen a chance.

 

Has everyone forgotten that most evaluators pegged this class as just OK. Bills went with the guy who the majority of evaluators thought had the highest ceiling. Maybe the rest are Andy Dalton’s.

Would have liked Rosen, but this kid has all the physical attributes.  If he can get where he processes info we'll he'll be our guy for quite a while

Yeah but have you noticed it's mostly the mental attributes at the NFL level that separate good QBs from bad ones?

 

EJ had all the physical attributes too.  EJ is worthless as a QB.

 

 

[Deranged Rhino]

Not my top choice, especially how the board fell, but what do I know? He's a Bill now so let's go Allen!

No, we just drafted the idiot who posted racist tweets and blamed it on youth

I'm so disappointed on how a good portion of our fan base is reacting to what should be a top 3 moment in Bills history, we have so many fans that are total brats, behaving like small children cause they didn't get what they want, how many will lie 2 years from now and claim they supported Josh Allen from day one.

[Troll Toll]

EJ Manuel all over again. Couldn’t even throw for 300 yards against trash. In many ways this is the same QB Buffalo has had for 20 years. There is just no hope for this franchise.

[CajunBillsBacker]

I can’t wait to re-evaluate this QB class in 3 years.

[Prickly Pete]

 

I think he will be the Bills' Ben Roethlisberger

I think his completion percentage was low because he threw on the run so much. They will keep him in the pocket, and he will kick ass.

Best arm. 

 

Highest Wonderlic. 

 

Ideal size. 

 

Stellar leadership and teammate. 

 

Accuracy issues. 

 

They all had question marks. Im going to trust the process and enjoy the kid. Seems like a good young man. 

I heard his white board process was off the charts in interviews! Seems like Kid is smart as hell!!

We have been down this road before with big strong armed QBs with mobility that have accuracy issues

 

Will it work out this time around?

Agree.  We'll see if he gets there.

Highest Ceiling QB in draft and we only gave up two 2nd rounders to upgrade from 7 to 12.

 

upgrade from 12 to 7

Love the pick!

 

The Bills just got a big, tough, blue-collar kid who played at Wyoming (think snow) and he was a winner with a bunch of nobodies around him.

Now she is worth all our picks for the next 5 years. 

 

Ouch! -Who is she?

The best part of this draft reaction is that none of us knows which of these QB's will be great yet that won't stop everyone from posting their in depth analysis and conclusion.

Then go buy Sunday Ticket and become a Cards fan. Bye bye now!

I already pay for Sunday ticket to watch the bills. Hopefully AJ will just light it up.

[njbuff]

Plus I gave EJ Manuel a chance. I sure as hell am going to give this kid again.

Huge assumption is that Rosen is a Corvette. Rosen could be a Honda Accord. Lol

 

Maybe he's more of a SRT Challenger... so a little reliability concerns : )

They were saying that Arizona was supposedly actually trying to trade up to #7 with the Bucs for Allen. 

 

So so maybe we just have a different view on which is the corvette than the NFL talent evaluators do... (I hope!)

 

Yeah man.

I'm hoping.

I'm still nauseous.

Shades of the reception Donovan McNabb received when he was selected by Philly. While I have the same concerns about his accuracy issues, he has other traits that are superior. And I suspect that his footwork can be improved which will lend itself to better accuracy. He’s ours now. Let’s get behind the kid.

Fair enough. My only concern is that Eagles fans could have seen that McNabb was really good in college. Allen was very average, and quite terrible against big time opponents. McNabb was electric with the Cuse. His downfall in college was his lack of success in big games. This same issue followed McNabb in the pros. If Allen’s NFL career is anything like his college career, he’ll be an inaccurate passing leader of an average team. College success doesn’t equal NFL success, and vice versa. My greatest concern is that Allen has done nothing in college to show he can be franchise QB. He is a pure potential pick, and that is scary.
