Call me crazy, but I’d rather have a QB who was judged to be good enough to be the #2overall pick 6 yrs ago rather than take a flyer on some kid from Tulsa.
Of course, but I’m talking about developing a later round QB in order to be a serviceable backup and a capital gain return.

last season, the injury was his throwing shoulder
2023 was the torn UCL in his throwing elbow
And then this year it will be his ankles. Then someone will use it to explain away bad numbers.

Our goal should be finding a great talented QB in the 3-6th rounds and then flipping them for a 2nd or a 1st 4 years after development. They serve as a security blanket in the event your starter goes down, and serve as capital gains.

When has QB2 not been a problem if he has to play? This goes for every team, ever season since the beginning of football, stop with the manufactured drama, JFC this nonsense topic has already been beaten to death repeatedly during the last sixty years for the team from Buffalo…, nuthin but luv…
It’s always been a problem, but that doesn’t mean we just ignore it and don’t try. The GMs job is to find high quality backups and trade them for extra pieces if the room gets too crowded.

Even if you can’t afford a high quality backup when you draft them, you trade them away and get extra capital before their contract is up. You then get 4 more years of another quality player if you draft well.

What's your answer? You're mad because they didn't draft a 5th - 7th round qb (that wouldn't be the backup anyway)?
Again, who is the guy they missed out on that you believe "solves" this backup QB problem.
You don't seem to have any actual answer so either you're looking for attention or just flailing around.
I would have drafted a QB in the 3rd last year.

Who's this magical competent replacement for Josh Allen that the Bills didn't get?
We didn’t even try to draft one and train them up. Our answer was to bring back Mitch lol

Young was signaled to be Montana's replacement. You want to draft Josh's replacement now?
A GM should be making sure that holes are plug with competent replacements. If controversy arises, you just trade away the slightly lesser talent with more picks.
Giving up a ton of losses if your stars go down for any amount of time is unacceptable.

For that to happen again, an awful lot of stars have to align.
It’s not lucky, the GM did his job in finding competent backups.

This topic comes up every year. Look, if you need a backup QB to replace Allen, you’re boned. That’s like asking Brissett to be as good as Brady, or Weeden to be as good as Romo, etc.
You can get lucky with a Jake Browning or a Josh Dobbs for a couple games, but they get figured out.
Look at Montana and Young. Not having a good backup is just an excuse.

Now that Allen has some kind of developing ankle issue, we have no answer if he goes down for any amount of time. Mitch is not a viable backup. We should have drafted a 2nd or 3rd round QB to have groomed for difficult moments. People will say this is not a legitimate worry, but Allen relies on movement in the pocket and out of the pocket. He lives on his ankles. Ankles already being taped up and with a full work load every single week will just add to that stress.
I mean look at how much it bothered him at the end of practice. Threw like 50 interceptions.

Great now Allen is hurt. Ankle issues don’t magically go away, they linger especially with the heavy demands of a regular season. Mitch isn’t the answer and we didn’t do anything to address QB2.

Is it Allen holding this team back from Superbowls? It’s the ***** coaching. Buffalo fans know this, it’s all everyone else that believe it’s Allen. *****! He put them ahead of the Chiefs with 13 seconds and lost. This past playoffs the O held the ball for close to 40 minutes, scored the most points against the Chiefs all playoffs and they lost. It’s McDs ***** D in playoffs holding this ***** team from winning Championships.
Hey I’m with you in some ways. I’d much rather take Billy B over McD.
It’s still doesn’t excuse Allen’s weaknesses which are game management and decision making. If Allen has 1/4 less turnovers, we likely would already have a Super Bowl and home field advantages.

If it’s a GM, AGM, or person in scouting, then those people pick favorites in the draft and are completely salty when reality doesn’t work out the way they envisioned it. A lot of people were down on Allen at the draft and have never been able to let it go.
In a total NFL redraft, Allen would go #2 overall. It’s basically impossible to overrate him.
It’s a different kind of overrated. Allen has what is likely an all time great physical elite talent profile. But it isn’t translating to super bowls. But that isn’t really overrated, that is more “disappointing” or “frustrating” he isn’t translating those talents into super bowls.
-
Allen is just off the charts immensely talented physically which is what yields all this “overrated” “frustration” etc chatter behind him. He should be smoking other QBs on his elite talent alone.
Seriously, Josh should be calling up Brady and be like I’m moving in at your place for 3 months. Show me everything you know about the game of football. Even if he managed to improve 15% in that department, we would be talking about finally getting over the hump.

It means he's not great at reading the defense and putting the offense into a better play or at least knowing where to go with the football pre-snap.
Josh Allen’s weaknesses have always been between the ears. It’s why I’ve always advocated for him to spend an entire summer with Brady trying to digest the game.

I just hope Allen doesn’t become another Cam Newton. Cam Newton was basically just physically talented and had nothing between the ears in the game of football. And as soon as Cam’s body wore down, he become a terrible QB because he just couldn’t function because he never mastered the game.
Players like Brees and Brady managed to keep results elevated despite physical decline because their game IQ made up for the physical decline.
Allen is much more talented than Newton, but I’m not convinced Allen is all that much smarted than Newton on the field with some of the decisions he makes.
I mean for crying out loud, Josh has already admitted that he can only handle watching so much film before it tweaks him out. That’s a mental issue. It always has been with Josh. He overthinks things because he isn’t confident enough to make the reads.

I wouldn’t say the word is overrated. I think the word the exec should have used is frustrating. Josh Allen is frustrating at times. The exec is correct, Allen is immensely talented. I think they said overrated because that immense talent hasn’t translated into super bowls. Some of that isn’t Allen’s fault though, it’s the teams and coaching. However Allen’s problems have always been between the ears. I really hope he can become a surgeon on the field at some point, because as he gets older and the elite talent begins to show signs of decline, the stats are going to balloon towards the negative if Allen can’t figure out how to be a game manager.
Brady and Manning were as great as they were because they knew the game of football like the back of their hands, they were surgeons because they could read and understand every single tendencies. Allen should be destroying these other QBs on talent alone, but he isn’t because he hasn’t mastered the mental aspect of the game. If Allen ever figures it out, watch out, because the combination of elite talent and being a surgeon on the field will yield a long streak of super bowls for Buffalo.
But time is running out, he likely has about 5 more years before physical peak performance.

I think the choice of words was incorrect. I think it should have been disappointing or frustrating. Allen might have the most physical traits of all time, but the mental aspect of game management and understanding tendencies are what is holding him back from being a top 5 all timer.

No he hasn’t. He needs to win in the playoffs to drop the stigma.
I agree. Right now Allen is basically Dan Marino. An elite QB that hasn’t won the big one. Even then, Dan Marino still has a slight edge on Allen, because at least Marino made it to a Super Bowl.

Same with the stigma. “How much help does Josh Allen need” . Brady and Mahomes proved they can do it with an elite TE and jags for WRs. This would be the year for Allen to prove he can do it with average supporting cast.

Adding Aiyuk or Adams would immediately transform our pass catchers to a top 8ish group IMO. Having a legit #1 outside WR on the roster changes everything. Shakir and Samuel would have much more favorable matchups. MVS and Claypool would be fighting it out for the 6th spot instead of both likely seeing a significant amount of targets. Coleman could be eased in. Hollins could mainly just focus on special teams.
I hope Beane at least tries. He tried to give Arik Armstead the same money that Jacksonville gave him. Use that money and give Allen the caliber of weapons that he deserves.
I’d much rather have Adams.

QB2 is a problem and has been ignored for years

GMs pay attention to preseason games and they have enough scouting awareness to tell if the talent is worth trading for.
