Mr. WEO Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Doesn't sound very "elite", to be honest... 1
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Enjoy it. Little chance he is on the roster next year 1

Intelligent, football savvy, etc. Love Beane but would rather have taken someone else like the punter the Jets drafted. Football IQ does NOT equal intelligence. He knows how to read defenses, he knows the good decisions to make on the field. That's it. Has no impact on his general intelligence, following science, etc.

If we only drafted as well as the Jets, truly a well managed franchise, top to bottom 1

Low draft status and by all reports very poor performance in training camp I agree, it would not be difficult to upgrade beyond Barkley too. That said if Allen goes down for an extended period of time it's hopeless.

And the year in the system will give him a leg up. I also don't see them drafting someone.
zow2 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Cool, glad to hear he's still part of the team...even in some weird way. I didn't like when that chick basically tried to destroy his career before it started on Twitter.

You haven't even witnessed Fromm play at an NFL level and you come up with the genius statement you rather Beane have taken a punter? Obviously you are the man for the job and they should fire Beane now. 1

letsgoteam Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 If Barkley and Allen were both out (not during gameday) and they game planned for the week, would they go with Fromm or would give Davis Webb get the start?

Little chance he is on the roster next year I actually think Fromm will be a good "career backup" type of QB. By all accounts, he is good at reading Defenses, breaking down film, etc. He has the skills to be a game manager type QB who can hold the clip board, and hold down the fort if he is needed for a few weeks during a season.
Albany,n.y. Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Jake is the equivalent of a baseball player whose position is LEFT OUT.
scribo Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 I keep in mind every morning while waiting for the reports on test results that Fromm could be the guy if the virus somehow got into our team. Makes me even happier when I hear no news on the Bills.
hondo in seattle Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) He keeps saying how tough it is. And I bet it can feel that way - being alienated from the rest of the team the way he is. But I also think a little perspective is in order. Having a loved one die due to COVID is tough. Being a small restaurant/business owner and losing everything you've built because of COVID is tough. Being out of work because of COVID is tough. Working 12/14 hour shifts in a dangerous environment because of COVID is tough. Being a COVID quarterback - where your main responsibility is to not get sick - on a $3.7 million contract isn't really tough. I think Jake needs to count his blessings.
