JaCrispy Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Was just over at their message boards and, obviously, they are pumped- and think that the trade up was a steal for them. One guy then goes on to say that, now, they just need some team to take Allen before their pick to save to Jets from themselves. I just find it funny, that with all this talk about Allen potentially going top 3, many fans don’t even want the guy because it is clear as day that he is not that good imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an unbelievable arm and surprising athleticism. Someone is gonna bite. Really starting to feel like Mayfield might be the one that falls to us, but I'm not sure we even want him.

Real McClappy Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I know Crisp, I was reading the same earlier this week before the trade up. Allen is Blackledge 2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's ironic because Allen has more God given ability than any QB in the draft. I'd kill to have him on the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If Allen doesn't bust his ceiling is Matt Stafford. That's a pretty good QB. Mind you I would prefer the Bills not drafting Allen but none of us have much idea if ANY of these guys will make it or bust. The guys here on TBD that make statements like fact about these QB's are just not getting it, and probably never will. Worry less about being right and more about being a knowledgeable football fan and Bills fan. Nobody cares if you were right about which QB turns out. It won't give you any cred, even in such an online community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i don't understand it myself, he literally carried the team on his shoulders (well with his arm) , a team with many drops, terrible offense in general and took him to the bowl game. I don't care if it's a small school or a large school , if there is no team talent at all around you then you'll struggle and he did but he still won them games even if they weren't pretty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If he isn't rushed, he may develop properly and be a great QB. His potential is the highest in this class IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can laugh at me if you want but I will say there is a 50/50 chance he will be available at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Possibly... I kinda see Darnold's ceiling as a Kurt Warner / "Good years" Carson Palmer type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I’m starting to think this is the guy who will end up being the best of all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The Jets are going to take the guy none of their fans want. That's just teh way it goes...so they probably traded up for Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This is the same regime that drafted Bryce Petty and Christian Sackenberg. I don’t think their QB evaluation is making anyone very confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also predicting Barkley will disappoint as a pro. Not a Trent Richardson-level disappointment, but maybe Reggie Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, I have reason to hope that they take Allen and he has a career full of one hopped bubble screens and errant passes to Bills DB’s creating over a decade of angst for Jets fans. Now, if we happen to draft Allen, I hope his supreme physical tools are fully realized on his way to the HOF filled with multiple Super Bowl MVP’s.
