Tell you what ... the Bills could have turned that draft pick into Martavius Bryant, kept the 22nd pick in the draft, and walked away with a future multiple Pro Bowl OL in Isaiah Wynn. Instead, Wynn is going to obliterate Bills players the way Logan Mankins did for years. Best offensive linemen in the draft, to the Patriots. 2

I'm really hard on QB prospects. When there's a guy I really dislike as a prospect, they wind up as colossal busts (Jimmy Clausen, Matt Barkley, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, Christian Hackenberg, Paxton Lynch were all guys I railed against over the past 5-6 years). Inaccurate college QBs who play garbage competition like Allen faced in the Mountain West don't go on to make successful NFL QBs. Means that you are due to be wrong on one of these prospects. Lol

I've watched some Rosen interviews since he was drafted and he is, IMO, totally coming off like a petty little spoiled brat. I wasn't worried about his personality issues, but I may have been wrong on that. This kid is going to be a controversial quote machine... lol Are you being sarcastic? I'm lost, why did you give me the reaction to my post that you did? If you're being sarcastic here my bad, but I wasn't the only one it was lost on
MarlinTheMagician Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I get the draft value chart. Fear was vast overpayment. Didn't have to give up our draft. Edmunds too! Didn't give up next year. Got a 6'5" QB with a cannon who can run. I think the accuracy will be fine - based on 2nd half of senior bowl. Showed touch. Wishing Rosen the best, but really did NOT want him. Yippee!
JackKemp Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I don’t understand the Rosen love. He is a concussion waiting to happen. 1
keepthefaith Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Wow, didn't realize there were so many experts with crystal balls out there. Now would be a good time to evaluate drafts from about 2014-2016.

Alphadawg7 Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) 56 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: See I think Beane gets way too much benefit of the doubt because we lucked into the playoffs. Besides our secondary and o line, our talent level sucked last year. And getting better in the offseason? Come on man, who cares about what he does in shorts? All I heard was excuses why Allen isn’t better. The Bills aren’t a franchise that is known for developing qb. Rosen is a guy who didn’t need much development. Allen is another guy in the mold of JP and EJ. I defended those guys even though we a ton of similar questions about them. And they got proven right. the thing that sucks is I was so pumped for this night & it was happy perfect. So it’s hard to try to find the positives. I only hope that if Allen becomes a star, we can bump this thread and laugh at it. No disrespect Biscuit, but the "Bills aren't a franchise that is known for developing QB's" is just utter nonsense. This regime has been here one season. What happened in the history of the franchise has literally zero factual impact on today. We have no idea how good or bad this regime will be at developing a QB, but we do know the past failures of older regimes do not in any way factor into this one. And sorry, but I could not disagree more about your "who cares" about how Allen had the best offseason by far. The truth is, the ONLY QB who had a great season was Baker. Rosen had a terrible record with 2 concussions, and Darnold disappointed and was a mistake and turnover machine. All of them have risks and faults...and when teams need to call around to find out how to manage your personality, engage you, and manage you mentally (Rosen) then thats a red flag on its own. So lets not over exaggerate the other prospects as if they were slam dunks, none of them were. And with a young QB in the offseason, seeing a guy come out and wow you over the others, show improvement in the areas listed in the areas they need to improve, etc is very relevant. Totally respect you as a poster, so mean no disrespect to you in this response. But...if you are going to ask me whose opinion I trust...a bunch of arm chair GM's who haven't done even a fraction of real due diligence on these QB's...or the entire regime of the Bills who spent thousands of man hours researching, watching, interviewing, etc of these kids...I will lean towards the professionals opinion. And thus far, Beane has done a LOT to earn my trust. Your comment about "backing into the playoffs" is irrelevant to the job Beane has done. He has leveraged all kinds of value for this franchise, made incredible moves, found great value last year in guys like Micah and Power, etc. So far, he's done everything to earn our trust IMO.

JerseyBills Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 They feel they can mold his game like Cam Newtons.. very interesting!
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: It has to be expected availability . The 2 concussions must have spooked McBeane. The 2 concussions in 3 games Mayfield had didn’t spook the Browns 1 hour ago, LEBills said: YESSSSSS!!!! To all those that are disappointed. You will be very pleasantly surprised. He will burst into the scene like Cam Newton did when he came out of the gate and surprised everyone with how well he could throw. His accuracy is going to be improved with the work he has done on his footwork and mechanics. Besides that, he is a great kid and a great leader. He was Wyoming this year and had to shoulder more responsibility than any other QB this year. I know many many of you are disappointed, but I am so excited. I’m normally a guy that would write off a QB with Allen’s stats. But he is different. The stats don’t match the ability. Now I hope we can all embrace him as he leads us into the future! GO BILLS!!! I hope you’re right

His game film shows a guy who struggles enormously when pressured, and who often fails to move past his first progression. 2. His bad supporting cast played bad defenses. He had the lowest drop rate of all the QBs in the draft. Guys like Josh Allen never succeed in the modern NFL. Just ask Jake Locker, EJ Manuel, Kyle Boller, Blaine Gabbert, Josh Freeman or Akili Smith. We just drafted a less accurate version of Blake Bortles. Clearly, management is clueless when it comes to offense. Rosen might not be great, that is true, Allen might not even start, that is also true. 1

Like Babe Ruth and Mike Hampton were both pitchers that could hit a little bit. Same type of pitcher. Except that Pat Mahomes got better every year in college and finished his career throwing for 5000 yards and 41 TD against 10 INTs while completing nearly 66% of his passes, after completing 64% as a SOPHOMORE. Oh yeah, and there's this little thing about Pat's bloodlines. Please, stop. I'm trying to like Josh Allen. Don't compare him to Pat Mahomes and get our hopes up. Let him be Josh Allen.
