Jared Goff didn't want to be drafted by Buffalo (unsubstantiated)

[US Egg]

Unsubstantiated claims are the best.

I didn't want to go to Buffalo either but wasn't given a choice - my mom gave birth there.

Met an Indian Silicon Valley techie who went to school at UB.  Said he'll always have a love for Buffalo because people there are truly different.  Although he currently lives in the Bay Area and is thus a 49er fan, he's also a big Bills fan.  Says it was unavoidable after 4 years at UB - mafia mania is joyous, contagious, and bonds people together in a unique way.   And that the unpretentious, warm people taught him a lot about "the American Way."  

Goff doesn't know what he missed and, in retrospect, I'm happy my mom pushed me out where she did.

He went #1 overall... We were picking 18th.  I doubt he put much thought into coming to Buffalo.

 

We went on to have a stellar draft without him.  I think we did ok...

1) Shaq Lawson
2) Reggie Ragland
3) Adolphus Washington
4) Cardale Jones
5) Jonathan Williams
6) Kolby Listenbee
6) Kevon Symour

 

Holy crap.

Yeah?

 

Well we've won more games without him than with him!

I’m not mad at the guy. I’m happy. Any event that led to the Bills becoming the home of Josh Allen is a great event.

I mean I don’t think the Bills had a shot even if they were both interested

Jared Goff literally didn't have the clout to do that 

 

Literally John elway and Eli Manning.. one known to be a once in a generation talent who was also drafted to MLB and the other from first family of football 

 

Jim Kelly had the usfl as leverage.. Jared Goff does not 

 

People said Joe burrow was also going to refuse to play for Cincinnati... Yet he also does not have The leverage
