Pretty funny.  There were some epically bad hot takes after (the right) Josh was drafted, myself included. Good thing I'm not the GM. We can all laugh about it now.........

Hilarious!

 

JA has a great attitude.

I remember going back through that thread about a year ago while enjoying my bowl of popcorn. It was a fun time.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but the more  I think about it, Allen was such an obvious choice.

 

I remember A Bill Pollian interview where he was asked why they took Luck over KG III.   He said it was a toss-up but they erred on the side of picking the bigger, stronger QB due to the demands of playing in the NFL.  Simple as that.

I was blown away the Browns didnt take Allen.  He fit the mold of all the Quarterbacks Dorsey had drafted in the past.   Mayfield was the only other guy I liked in the class so I was happy they took Allen instead of Rosen.  In contrast, my buddy literally got up and left our draft party without saying a word.  He even text me at times during the 2020 season unsure Josh was the guy.   For what its worth he also hates Jordan Poyer.

Josh Allen rookie cards would have been just as good!

    No I'm glad you didn't t because the odds of both the Bills Franchise QB lottery and the state lottery of choice you would have played hitting the top jackpots are basically not gonna happen.  Plus you got way more opportunities to hit a lottery ticket than the Bills would have had if Josh Allen wasn't HIM.

Yeah, none of them aged well, but that one definitely stands out.

I remember sports talk guys laughing out loud at the Bills that Friday after the first round. We all know the national ones, but Moe Egger here in Cincinnati spent a while segment laughing at the Bills because “you can’t fix accuracy.”

My dad is a jets fan.  But he is also such a die hard college football fan that he will stay up till 3am watching west coast teams ive never heard of.

  I remember just flat out having no idea who JA was... But my dad turned right to me and said, "you got your quarterback".  

 

[Steptide]

I still wonder had he went to the Browns or jets, if he'd be having the success he's having now. Those other 2 organizations have gone through a ton of turnover. I don't know if he'd be as good as he is without the culture and coaches the bills have. Either way, I'm glad he's a bill

I believe that both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield were badly misshandled, but I'm still glad the Browns and Jets left Allen for the Bills to select.  I believed from the beginning that he had more physical talent than any other QB in that draft.   It was just a question of whether the Bills could help Josh get past the issues that led other teams to avoid him.   I'm not sure if Rosen might have done any better regardless of where he ended up.  Baltimore handled Lamar Jackson well.  He has exceeded my expectations.  I think Josh Allen has exceeded the expectations of even his most ardent supporters.

Allen wasn't an obvious choice, he fell to 7 while many had a 3rd-round grade on him. RG3/Luck was a one/two top of the draft
