I'm sure that was appealing to McDermott and it makes sense given how frustratingly conservative he can be throughout games. Still, they could've drafted Mahomes and kept Tyrod. It didn't have to be one or the other. The blame lies with the Pegulas more so then McDermott. Their indecisiveness on what to do with Whaley cost them an opportunity to draft him. Whaley knew that he was toast the moment that McDermott got hired..........any Pegula indecisiveness ended right there........he was all in on McBeane's plan...........which included waiting until after the draft to germinate Beane so they could use Carolina's scouting info. Ended up outsmarting themselves.

jkeerie Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Can someone please post the pre draft articles by these same press people that advocated the Bills drafting Patrick Mahomes? I don't recall reading any. 1
BillsFanSD Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 The Bills were never drafting Mahomes. This is a stupid argument. 1

bobobonators Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 We could've drafted Tom Brady as well. No complaints there?
njbuff Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I don’t mind a debate at all, but this thread is pointless beyond belief. I know the mods won’t shut it down, but it should be.

Tell me this, how good did Mahomes stats look in the first quarter of the Houston game when his receivers were dropping every third down throw and his team got down 24 pts? Receivers matter, o lines matter, play calling and execution matter. I’m not saying Allen will ever be Mahomes, but to say Allen is a colossal mistake is short sighted and uneducated & moronic on your part....
Big Blitz Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Only losers are wasting their time with this. The only team that should be bitter is Chicago. Stop being insufferable Jerry Sullivan's. Edited January 21, 2020 by Big Blitz
oldmanfan Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Mahomes is a great QB. No one pre-draft predicted he would be this good. No one. Anyone saying so is simply not telling the truth. I wanted Watson. Was sad we didn’t take him. But so what? Now we have Allen and I like what I see so far. Playing these hindsight what if games is pointless. 1

Drafted 10th overall...........but passed over by "30 other teams"...........I see you've really thought this thru.

Plenty of others liked him. Liking him has nothing to do with predicting he would be as good as he is right now. You’ve missed the point. If teams really thought predraft he would be what he is today, teams would have done whatever to move up to the # 1 pick. But they didn’t.

In fairness 10 of the 32 teams in the NFL have worse all time winning %'s than the Bills............so drafting 10th and getting the opportunity to make a colossal mistake at that spot seems about right.

JetsFan20 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Racism? Mahomes played in the same offense as Jared Goff and was much better in college. Why was Goff drafted number one overall and not Mahomes? Watson-was one of the greatest college QBs of all time, but his game didn’t translate? Lamar Jackson? Hopefully these guys change the narrative for good on the black QB. 1

Tom shouldn't have dwelled on being passed over by every team 6 times. People like me that don’t believe in the value of added motivation? WTF does that even mean? Actually, never mind. Another Badol rabbit hole I’d just as soon avoid. 1 1

You’re stuck on this all time stuff as if it means anything. It means nothing. Nothing whatsoever. We can go back to Brady and Montana too and it again means nothing about Mahomes. This is all just hindsight garbage. Again if NFL teams had crystal balls and could have seen Mahomes would be this good they would have all tried to get the # 1 pick that draft. No one envisioned him playing at this level. 3
