Yea Fromm was a Matt Barkley level guy. A guy you don't really want as more than a #3. 

Do you think that, if pressed into action Fromm can start a regular season game and lead his team to victory?

 

I don't.

It isn’t just in hindsight that it was a bad pick. Many of us were critical of it from the jump. He was, and is, a scrub. I have no issue with the Bills using a late round pick on a backup. DTR would have been great late in this draft. I have an issue using it on a guy that was never going to be any good. Fromm is an XFL QB (maybe).

Be careful how you phrase things.  The rules to being a good fan, is 1) that you can't question a draft pick at the time it is made because you need "three years " to evaluate a pick.  2) After three years have passed you can't criticize a draft pick because now you just being captain hindsight.  Just be a good fan and explain some convoluted series of steps where the pick of Jake Fromm was critical in sucessful building the team.

Fromm was 10/16 for 91 yards, a 5.7 yard average, 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack for a 9 yards loss, and a 98.7 passer rating. Not bad.

a 5.7 ypa is pretty mediocre.

He played very well tonight. His receivers dropped some late. If he gets cut I'd consider?

 

He played very poorly the week before...

I think if he started 6 games he might win 1. Matt Barkley's 1 win for Buffalo came against the 4-12 Jets. That's the kinda comparison I'd make.

He'd have even better numbers if he was throwing to receivers who could catch the ball.

Jake from State Fromm ends our long national nightmare....The Ravens hadn't lost a preseason game since Josh Allen enrolled at Wyoming...

Oh, geez.  It's Jake Fromm Start Farm.

The Bills PS'd Fromm, hoping to train him up and use him in future years.  Unfortunately for that plan, he was signed away by the Giants.  When the Giants cut him, the Bills had Keenum on the squad as the backup, and they didn't go after Fromm.  Only now does the deficiency in K Allen make it clear another plan is needed.  If the Commanders cut Fromm, I think the Bills should try hard to bring him on board.

I like the guy...followed him on Twitter as he was: JakeFrommStateFarm...hot mom always helps the cause...

 

But it was garbage time, 3rd stringers versus 3rd stringers...if you want stir the bottom of the roster and have a younger version of Matt Barkley have at it...

Wasn't this the guy that was literally wrapped in a bubble and kept separate from the rest of the team during the covid year?

Yeah, that wasn't his fault, it was a precaution to be sure the Bills had a QB available in case JA got sick.  But it definitely held back his development as a player because he couldn't practice or participate in meetings with other players.

Congratulations @JakeFrommStateFarm!!!

Jarret Paterson from UB made the winning play!  A good kid!

I can't understand why Jake Fromm is not yet starting - his career as a State Farm spokesman.

Nate Peterman was 10/18 115yds with a TD against the Colts last week.

I know it's only preseason, but it's hard to keep him out of the MVP discussion. 26ft

[Mr. WEO]

why were those teams putting on such an entertaining game when it's only preseason?

A hearty round of applause for Jacob Fromm.  Today is truly a banner day for elite whites! 

 

Honey, warm up some milk and bust out the saltines because we're celebrating tonight!  If all goes well, I'll be pushing the twin beds together about an hour from now if you catch my vernacular. 

SILENCE(r) !!

Clearly they should trade for P5t5rman.
