JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS

this would make more sense if we had drafted Iowa QB C.J. Beathard last year...

concur. and it worked too!

Fair enough but you will have to give it 3-5 years. Its quite possible Rosen lights it up out the gate but gets injured or loses interest early.

I suspect some TBD posters will judge Allen by what Rosen produces for the Cards.

I'll count that as an option #3 then

Im already loving that two people chose option #2. Having lived through both JP and EJ, I can respect that stance. Unfortunately I suspect more people hate him due to options #3 and 4.

I gave you several options Tom ...

Last April, Brandon Beane scored a coup of sorts by landing Josh Allen as our first round pick. Due to some questionable decision-making by Cleveland and others, Allen was still on the board when we were able to move up and take him before Phoenix, forcing the Cards to settle for the Other Josh. By most accounts, Allen has the most potential upside of any of the QBs in the draft, although he may be the least ready to play right now. He has the physique of an NFL QB, with a cannon arm that seems to effortlessly sling the ball deep across the field. He's smart, but recognizes he has a lot to learn. He has a killer work ethic. And he seems to be really happy to be a Buffalo Bill. Oh, and he was drafted by the people who found a way to get Buffalo to the playoffs for the first time in a generation. While most fans of a team bereft of top-tier QB talent for several decades would be overjoyed to get a pick with a legitimate shot at becoming a franchise quarterback, for some reason the vast majority of TBD posters seem to have it in for Allen. Many topics, and the vast majority of replies, tend to denigrate Allen. A casual fan reading TBD would be inclined to believe that Josh Allen is a total joke, a waste of several picks would not even make the roster on a decent team. The hate is palpable. Maybe its just our collective Post-Kelly Stress Disorder, but we as fans have been anything but excited to have Allen on our team. Instead of rolling out the red carpet, we've practically packed him into a wooden crate and shipped him back home to Wyoming (or California, or wherever). To help me wrap my head around this strange phenomenon, please choose the reason you hate Josh Allen. Feel free to add your own reason below.

How about "Buffalo Bills Franchise Quarterback"? Kid is going to light it up.

its only silent if you don't speak Mime.

"Marcia" Brady never gets old. Never. "Dark Helmet" Mark Kelso. "Chix" (Chan Gailey + Buddy Nix) "Chroisen" Hamdan.

shhhhhh! Don't you know this is TBD? We all have to be cautiously pessimistic or risk someone we've never met calling us out nine months from now about our pollyanna-ish rose colored beer goggles. But yeah, Allen puts the others to shame and they know it, too.

"no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills." 'Nuff said. #1 fans.

If you say so Jerry Sullivan

News flash: TT is no longer a Buffalo Bill. There is a Browns board somewhere for those wishing to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of TT. When does the season start again??

gonna be a long, long offseason at TBD ...

with Dennis Rodman to boot

McBeane are decisive, I think they will know by the end of the season if Allen is going to be the guy. And as long as they keep doing everything else right, I think Pegs will support them in trying another pick. McBeane are passionate about winning but dispassionate about who gets them there, that's a winning combination. I just think its a whole new universe for us, the goal of this FO is to win championships, not sell season tickets and inflate the sale value of a struggling franchise. I think Pegs trust The Process and wont worry about some fans and pundits saying "we got the wrong Josh".

If Allen looks like a bust at the end of the season, McBeane/Pegs will not hesitate to dump him and try again in 2019. Unlike Nix/Whaley/Russ who doubled down on their mistake. No one will be fired and the franchise will survive.

depends on how you feel about Allen...

wonder how EJ might have done, and for that matter JP, if not for the rotating clown circus that was the Bills Front Office during the drought.

We are Bills fans. WE ARE ALL DELUSIONAL.

100% agree. And I think McBeane is OK with him not starting at all this year.

yes, we want more. keep them coming!

He played hard when he thought it would make a difference. When the game or season was lost he throttled back. Given the chance of injury I cant say I blame him.
