GoBills808 Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Just now, Coach Tuesday said: Book is still wide open, son. It's barely been printed yet. The ink is still wet and the pages are unbound. I don't think this guy's much of a reader.
NastyNateSoldiers Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 How bout if i told u we could of had Mahomes, White & Edmunds.
Zerovoltz Posted April 27, 2018 Author Posted April 27, 2018 We traded away the NFL's leading passer (a bad rating system, but its the one they use) who had led the team to back to back division titles, having thrown for over 4000 yards with only 5 INTs.....and he still had a year left on his contract for only 20 million (cheap for veteran good QB these days) ....and we traded him to so that we could start someone else. (Mahomes) ....They didn't just get rid of a good, winning, popular QB with a year left on his contract for the hell of it. ...but I understand...need to see something more before you are convinced....can't blame anyone for that....but the actions sure do speak loudly.
Yeezus Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 HAHA how is the book closed? Mahomes has yet to play. If he turns out to be a top 5 or even top 10 QB and Allen doesn't pan out we clearly lose the trade. This is a QB league. 2

As it stands right now, Tre has shown he’s a better CB than Mahomes is a QB. Oops! I meant Tre Edwards. We have 2 Tre’s on the team now, and they are both on D. What are the odds eh? 1

Tons of NFL people were high on Mahomes last year, so maybe something there. He could suck too. But until he gets a chance to play, you can't say who did better. 7 minutes ago, OJABBA said: What if Mahomes turns out to be a franchise QB, but the Bills are a more successful team than the Chiefs? Unless Allen is a franchise guy too, they won't be better. It all depends on how the 2 QBs turn out.
ghostwriter Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I think Mahomes will be an All-Pro, Andy Reid knows QBs and I liked Mahomes coming out. Tre is a shutdown corner and I like Edmunds so I think we added two studs but what it comes down to is Allen vs Mahomes. I like Allen but passing on Mahomes was incredibly risky and could end up getting McD and Beane fired if Mahomes turns into a star and Allen busts. 1

I don't know that. For all we know McCarron could end up being "good enough" and the Bills could be a really good team. The point is, there are many variables, and Mahomes could become a very good QB, and the Bills could still have more success. It's all about how the team is being put together. All that really matters is which TEAM is more successful. There have been trades by the Patriots that people have said "How stupid. The Pats lost that trade!", yet they kept being successful. Maybe a player was really good, but a pain in the ass (like Lawyer Milloy). Edited April 27, 2018 by OJABBA
Buffalo716 Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) This is a joke right? I guarantee Smith has better stats than Mahomes next year lol http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/patrick-mahomes?id=2558125 https://www.nfl.com/prospects/josh-allen?id=32462018-0002-5600-29bc-8750224414bd Allen is graded higher by the same guy Edited April 27, 2018 by Buffalo716 1 1

If Mahomes turns into Brett Favre 2.0 and Allen turns into Paxton Lynch, McD will not be able to persevere that shitstorm.

He's trying to build a winning culture. Allen seems like a natural "Buffalo" fit. There's always another Quarterback - at least these guys have decided to take some shots.

No doubt, I like Allen too, he is a Buffalo guy and I think he'll be great. I also believe Allen is a much better prospect than Mahomes is to be completely honest but if Allen does indeed bust and Mahomes does go on to be great, there is going to **** molecules stuck to the air.

Yeah... I mean... we had a 17 year playoff drought. We're used to that.
BillsFan4 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Not that this means anything, but I guess Pat Mahomes struggled at the start of OTAs in KC. But it sounds like they are throwing an awful lot at him on purpose to see what he's good at - http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000934448/article/patrick-mahomes-practice-struggles-dont-worry-reid Quote Andy Reid and the Chiefs coaching staff have thrown the kitchen sink at their new starter during offseason practices. During Thursday's OTA session open to the media, Mahomes struggled, completing just 4 of 15 passes with an interception in a full-squad session. He went 7 for 12 with an INT in 7-on-7 drills, per ESPN's Adam Teicher. It was a good read. Andy Reid is a smart coach. I think Mahomes likely has success under him. 1
wppete Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 That was steal for the Bills thats for sure. We need Zay to really have a break out year. Even if he doesnt pan out i would still take Tre White and Tremaine Edmunds over Patrick Mahomes. 1
HappyDays Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Pat Mahomes is Josh Allen with worse footwork, less arm strength, and coming from a college spread system. 4 1 1
