I'll trust the professional as long as we get the trade-up done, and get our pick of the litter. That's really the crucial element for Thursday.

 

No matter who we end up with, we will all be watching the other prospects through their careers and making the comparisons of who we could have had.

Good post and the correct response.

I will lose a bit of faith in this FO.  To this point they've make a bunch of good decisions, forward thinking choices that we typically haven't seen from the Bills.  Allen over Rosen would show an old school mentality that I want to get away from that's hampered us for the last decade.  I understand if Allen is the last of the big 4, but to take him over Rosen would be very disappointing.

I have Allen rated above Rosen based on what I consider plausible potential (i.e., not unrealistic expectations for Allen) and concerns over Rosen's durability.  So I would be fine with it.  Darnold is my top rated fella, though any of the top 4 is okay with me.

You feel your amateur, arm's length assessment is better than a team of professionals who have access to information you'll never be able to imagine?

 

I'm high on Rosen and like him the most of the Big 4, but we don't know how the interviews went, and we dont know what the FO plans are.

done with the team, not kidding.  at the very least i'll take a 2-3 yr break until this administration is fired.  tomorrow might be my last day here

If/when Allen plays well feel free to come back sooner you’re a fun read.

Im trying to digest your statement. You have like most of us witnessed in retrospect, some of the most dumbass moves over the years in this organization. I have also noticed your post where you played QB, invested much time in charting prospects, watched film etc. A counter on completion rates.......Dan Marino was 52% completion in college.....went 6th QB off the board in ‘83. Why would Allen tip the cart for you?

This is so bad. No. Allen is obviously bad. He has not succeeded at the college level. At all. So picking him would be horrible and not at all like picking one of the others and, later, having it not work out. 

 

We we can see it NOW. Allen is a bust. Don’t pick him.

I will not be amused. I will think about the choices that led to me being a Bills fan. And then I'll continue watching as they fail to develop him into anything close to a competent NFL QB

thanks bud.  i'll be hoping it works out for sure.  this has been my team my whole life.  it pains me to see them suffer like this.  i think i would need to take a step back and watch from the sidelines for a bit though.  i get too involved and then get let down.  you never know though.  maybe stats are for losers and all of that math stuff is nonsense!  we'll see

Lot of presumptuous know-it-alls chiming in.  If it was so manifestly self-evident that Allen was doomed to fail, professionals would not be considering Allen at the top of the draft.  One has to trust that there are credible intellects evaluating much more comprehensive information than any of us have.  For example, I don't like Rudolph.  I'll be mad if we pick him.  I don't see a high ceiling on the fella.  Nonetheless, I'll hope I am wrong and root for him to be good if he ends up a Buffalo Bill.

You state a ton of opinion as fact, and try to predict the future. I dont necessarily disagree completely with your assessment, but I wouldnt be so confident with it either.

 

I've simply been around for too many QB-argument offseasons around here, and the only thing they've proven we know is that we dont know squat.
