JaCrispy Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 ...will you feel as bad as you did, or worse than you did, when the team drafted EJ? Just trying to get the temperature of the fan base...now remember, the term “trading up” is emphasized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 No, because it's because they think he's the guy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'm rolling with them and trusting that they know what they're doing if they decide he's the guy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have accepted that any of the big 5 prospects could be our new starting QB in 8 days. They all have their pros and cons. I can see the appeal of Allen, but also why others are sour on him. We'll all buy their jersey when they toss 3 TDs on the road in New England, I'm sure we'll get over it.

Ramza86 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 From what I saw from the draftbreakdown videos comparing EJ to Allen. Id take Allen 10000/10000 times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Poster Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Disappointed. I want them to take the guy they believe in but taking a person with no pedigree at the position brings the nightmare of Peterman starting back, a decision that McDermott and this FO will not admit was a poor one.

KD in CA Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Not sure how anyone could feel worse than EJ. It was painfully obvious when he was at FSU that EJ wasn't a pro QB. Even the FSU fans here said so. Edited April 18, 2018 by KD in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I didn’t feel bad when they drafted EJ. I wouldn’t feel bad about this either, though he’s not in my top 3. I admittedly don’t scout QBs though so *Bosa Shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acattack15 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I totally disagree with the overall vibe of the forum in regards to Josh Allen. I personally would be pumped to add Josh Allen. Yes he is a little risky, but the dude has one in a generation tools/athletism for the position. He clearly needs to be coached up but there are soo many things going in the positive direction in my opinion. He would fit the Buffalo market perfectly (big strong hardworking blue collar farmer kid) and he also would be going into an ideal situation with AJ McCarron in the driver seat to start this year. Give him a year.... maybe even 1.5 years to sit and learn, get comfortable, adapt to the NFL game. It could pay off 10x over. If i am gambling (which ever draft pick is to some extent) I want to gamble on a kid with the height, weight, skill set, and good mental makeup. Go big or Go home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Well I would be very sad but I will get behind the pick, but hope would only come after he shows command of the position at the NFL level.. So in other words the off-season just got longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 My stomach would churn if they did this. I suppose it would depend where they moved up to, who else was on the board etc. A move up to #2 to select Allen might induce nausea. A move up to 7? Not as much. Either way, I'd have to just roll with it and think that they believe in the guy. Of the top 4, I'd feel the least confident about Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'd rather get Darnold, but I like Allen and would not be angry or sick to my stomach like many of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Can't say he would be my first QB of choice, but I would still rather that opposed to them waiting at 12 and drafting a position player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Josh Allen is the new Blaine Gabbert. I remember how so many experts had him ranked high but fans hated the way he played. 3 minutes ago, kdiggz said: they thought EJ was too. he was the first QB taken in that draft. he was also a big, tall, athletic, strong arm, project QB what is going to drive me bonkers is that Josh Rosen is clearly the best QB in this draft and we would not only be passing on him but we would be giving up all of those picks to do it Huge difference with EJ is they traded down. You don't trade down to the mid-late 1st to draft your franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just now, joesixpack said: And the only reason they had to do that was because they MISSED on QB in previous years. The situations are not at all alike. exactly the same. we needed a QB, had a veteran that didn't work out, had to get one in the draft. overpaid just like we will this year if we get Allen. "but wait, we traded back how did we overpay for EJ?" because he was taken in the 1st round when many had him as a 3rd round prospect. reaching would be 2nd round. complete desperation was taking him in the 1st.
