Just goes to show that you never know how things are going to play out.

The Bills seemed to have an idea how Josh Allen might turn out, though I suspect he has exceeded even their expectations.

Maybe the lesson is you want people who will take big risks, like the Bills did with Josh. That one paid off huge. But maybe you shouldn’t freak out if they don’t work out. Focus on the future.

[BigDingus]

Well I'm glad you finally realized this 7 years later, but better late than never!

yep,  nobody really knows,  even the pros making the big $$$$ to find guys for teams.  everybody is throwing darts at a dart board and hoping something sticks.  nobody thought Mahomes would be what he's become,  coming from the college offense that he did.  Tom Brady being picked last in the draft.  etc etc.  the NFL is filled with misses and guys nobody thought about becoming all pros.  far more misses than hits.

Brady was a 6th rounder. Brock Purdy was the last pick. Point taken though.

I was referring to Josh McCown

Guys on a related note, I just realized Aaron Maybin was also the wrong guy to draft

 

I'm not altogether sure this Tom Cousineau is a scheme fit...

No idea what you’re talking about. 

Hey, did you hear? The Edmunds just gave birth to a new son. They haven’t settled on a name but rumor has it, Tremaine is the leader in the clubhouse. 

[Jauronimo]

Whoa! Big if true.  I'll be following this developing story.

[Chicken Boo]

I have a lot of thoughts on this.  I still stand by Rosen getting a raw deal in AZ as did Wilks.

 

Growing up privileged, I don't know if he ever had the hunger to be great.

The game against the Vikings was one of his iconic games. Maybe his stats weren't eye popping by today's standards, but he had 3 TDs and a few amazing plays.

 

Also that final week against the Dolphins he scored 5 TDs. That was for real one of his best games ever. 65% completion percentage, 224 yards passing, 3 passing TDs, 95 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs. He had a passer rating of 114.9.

yeah i remember it vividly. A meaningless game for most but not for Josh, his development, and the Bills fans all enjoying the love at last home game.

When Josh turned the corner and got downhill on that long TD run it sealed the deal for me Bills got something here. 

That game energized the whole Buff-Show and set up the best off-season of hope since the Kelly signing. Glory was coming and bring'n Josh Ballin Allen with it. lol

It showed that Allen could play efficiently within the offense, take check down throws, and play a more cerebral style. It was exactly what all the fans needed to see. And he still dominated on the ground. It was an awesome game.
