Intelligent and accurate. Can read defenses. Rag arm for downfield passes. Now, in no way am I equating the two, but wan't Brady considered to have a bit of a rag arm when he was drafted? I know he had no deep ball then. Maybe he can teach Allen some things, and Allen can teach him a few. Not expecting him to be a mad bomber or anything. But you are right, Josh is WAY more talented. Or maybe the Bills can get something for him down the line. take a look at his highlights he throws far downfield 1

I care about intelligence, accuracy, and processing of information. The problem is that you can also describe Tim Couch, Danny Wuerffel, and A.J. McCarron the same way. Smart guys who lacked talent. You could have even said that about Barkley, who was a 4th rounder. In the end, it's a fifth round QB. It was a luxury pick. It's not the next coming of Brady, or Pennington. It's a guy who is going to struggle to beat out Barkley to be the 2nd string QB. 1

He just didn't have a strong arm. He was the equivalent of a first round pick though, because there was no question. If there was he would have fallen to the 4-6 like all those guys do.

But he’s proven himself the starter until he either tanks or proves he’s worth that kind of money. Not really worried by it. I like seeing the organization have that '' next - man - up '' mentality. 2 1
stuvian Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 someone better tell Beane he drafted a thalidomide baby
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 With no sports on tv for the next few weeks, I’m guessing the Fromm topic gets pretty hot in here

Wayne Arnold Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Hopefully Fromm's tiny little girl hands can grip a football in below-freezing temperatures. 1
SloanBillsFan Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I'm sufficiently shocked but not unhappy at all about the pick. I watched Fromm in a couple of Georgia games and thought he was pretty good. 1
Bookie Man Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 It's funny when I watch him, he looks exactly like Barkley out there. 2
MarkyMannn Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Funny! A thread about a fifth round QB picked 5 hours ago will soon have more pages than our first pick made 2 days ago 1

Not a whole to say other than “HELL YES!” 1
BigDingus Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Can't be worse than the last QB we drafted in the 5th round.... I mean, at least McDermott gets a win right there!
Nihilarian Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 This is Beane doing his Bill Belichick impression...meaning that IMO he will be trade bait for teams looking for a QB in the future.

I'm not saying he cannot throw a deep ball, but he has limited arm strength. And while I'm not totally enamored with the "underwear Olympics", his performance there sort of exposed that. With that said, I think that was a particularly bad day for him. But the guy does not have a cannon for an arm. Like some others have mentioned, maybe he becomes a Fitz or a Reich 1
Malazan Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Might be my favorite pick. You absolutely should draft QBs even if you believe you have one. A. You need a backup B. It puts pressure on Allen. If you preach competition, you need competition. From has a different skillset than Allen does and he should be able to push Allen in those areas at least. C. If the guy shows anything at all, you either have a backup on a good contract or trade bait. Options which has been beane's MO. Give himself as many options as possible. 2
