Draft Stetson Bennett as our backup.

[John from Riverside]

I have been against drafting the back up for some years now, but we are now at the point where every penny counts and later round rookie quarterbacks are on quality controlled cost contracts
 

San Francisco struck gold with Purdy

[Mikie2times]

Mitch will be back

[Rigotz]

Hear me out.

 

The year is 2018. UGA is in the Rose Bowl. BIG TIME QB Jake Fromm goes 20/29 for 2 TD and no INT. THEY WIN.

In 2019, WINNER JAKE FROM goes 12-2 and puts up INSANE stats.

Somehow, he drops to the 5th round in the 2020 draft .... WHAT???

 

The Bills HAVE TO DRAFT HIM TO BACKUP JOSH ALLEN....

THEY DO!!!!

And the rest is history, my friends.

 

We have the chance to do this all over again in 2023... how the heck could we say no?

I do think there is merit in the Bills taking a backup QB somewhere later in the draft or at least seeking out a UDFA who has an actual shot to compete in pre-season. 

 

But no to Bennett. No to Georgia game managers. I still have Fromm flashbacks. 

Expand  

Exactly what I was thinking re: Fromm.  In any event, I think we're in UDFA territory on that issue given our relative dearth of picks.

But that commercial with the cowboy riding through the majestic snowy plains while the Stetson song plays in the background was great.

Can always move one and get a pair of picks.

they ARE the 49ers, after all!!!

[TheFunPolice]

Bengals should draft him instead. He reminds me of a mini Burrow. 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

The comparisons to Fromm are not valid.

Stetson is far more mobile and a true run-pass threat.

I'm an UGA fan, but certainly this is correct. I don't know that we even have the luxury of a late round pick on a qb, but I think Max Duggan could be worth a flier.

^these.  My daughter goes to TCU and I watched every TCU game this year.  A smaller version of Allen, albeit with a weaker arm.  He carried that team this year.

When you have a young/superstar QB like Josh Allen and Super Bowl hopes, then drafting another QB before Day 3 is really a waste.

 

We only need a backup QB in the event Allen gets injured.  And if that happens, I don't want an unproven rookie coming off the bench.  I want a veteran who can limit mistakes and avoid a losing streak while he recovers.  Guys like Mitch Trubisky and Case Keenum are the way to go.

 

Project QBs are really for teams without a franchise guy... or teams with one nearing the end of their career.

Given the current construction of the Bills, you want someone good enough to get you 3-4 solid outings, but, in the event it's season ending for Allen, suck sufficiently enough over the course of a season that we're able to draft Ja'marr Chase.

Lol. That boy will have a great career selling insurance in Georgia when his football career is over, if nothing else.

If a guy falls who was graded say in the 4th round what the heck…maybe the Bills find their Brock Purdy
