Including while wearing shorts?

 

Josh's face is just off... there is something not right about it.

[BullBuchanan]

LOVE this pick. Extremely smart both in the classroom and on the field. Needs work physically, but I love the upside. Very Belichick-type guy.

Same arm as Peterman, same round as Peterman, drafted by the same regime..... again, if Allen gets hurt for an extended period of time they are screwed. 

If you hate the pick then we probably have a HOFer on our hands

[Augie]

Well, our draft is no longer so bland.

Ladies and gentleman, meet the guy who will be the most popular player on the bills message boards for the next three years.

Nope.  There will be an UDFA WR who will enter the pre-season HOF. 

[CSBill]

Well, this will make us all forget about that 4th round guy. What’s his name?

[DuckyBoys]

they went bpa whole draft just like Beane said he would  Fromm was sticking out like a sore thumb.   He picks it up quick and he probably gives us a better shot to win a game or two if Josh gets dinged for a few games. 

[Doc Brown]

Bills drafted Reich two years after drafting Kelly.  The stars are aligning. 

[Bob in STL]

I took some heat last week when I mentioned drafting a QB in later rounds.  
 

We need a backup.  Let’s see what he does.  Right now we are a team on the rise that still has not won a playoff game, therefore  every position is up for grabs every year.

So who has a stronger arm Barkley or Fromm??  To me that's the biggest question.  And will they keep all three on the active roster.  Doubt you could cut Fromm and slip him to PS.  Or do they cut Barkley in September?

[TheCockSportif]

Could be a decent backup, and if he's coached up then he can be traded for a 1st rounder in the future.  It must be true; I read here on TBD a few days ago.  ?

Ait that where Milano was drafted? 

kids got a weak arm. Not really Buffalo weather compatible IMO. We'll see

That’s an overused stereotype.

 

How many bad weather games does Buffalo actually play in.

 

And so far our rifle armed starter doesn’t generate as many deep throws as perceived. 

[FireChans]

Jake Fromm is the next Tom Brady. Allen will be traded for a first to the Pats next year. @Kirby Jackson

[BurpleBull]

First draft day shocker.

Barkley is going to eat Fromm's lunch.  Fromm is Peterman 2.0.  

 

Maybe Beane will be able to trade Fromm to the Raiders for a 7th during preseason.

Are you serious with this, please tell me you're not...please 

[Mr. K]

I'm surprised they took a QB at all but I can't say I don't like it. Isnt that the best time to draft a QB when you (think) have one?

...oh just wait

 

People screamed for Peterman. Imagine what people will think when a guy that had success at UGA is sitting there. There is already someone on here claiming that he’s better than Josh. You are giving people too much credit.

 

Mental illness is a serious issue in this country.

[schoolhouserock]

Saves a few $ at QB2.

 

Hope to only see him in Q4 of blowout W’s.

I Googled Jake Fromm, and Jake Fromm's mom comes up as a search suggestion. I clicked and yeah, I want to see her taking bowling ball shots on Sundays.
