BuffaloRush Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000929261/article/2018-nfl-draft-debrief-winners-and-losers-from-round-1 "Buffalo Bills: The Bills traded out of their No. 10 overall pick a year ago, passing on the chance to draft Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson in favor of amassing draft capital. This season, the Bills usedsignificant draft capital to trade up for quarterback Josh Allen (moving from 12th overall to seventh). The kids would call that hustling backward, especially when Allen has an uphill climb just to surpass previous Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor's level of production. Bills fans will point to this being the first draft for GM Brandon Beane, who was hired last May, but that only emphasizes how tricky it is to come up with a cohesive roster when the GM and coach are always in flux. Allen could prove his skeptics wrong, and his athleticism is unquestionable, but Josh Rosen has clearly displayed a more obvious NFL skill set. Allen is reminiscent of a souped-up version of another Bills first-round quarterback: J.P. Losman, a player with accuracy issues who was a star in the pre-draft season because of his measurables. Losman was taken 22nd overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and proceeded to compile a 10-23 record in Buffalo. Give Beane some credit for his conviction in Allen and talented all-around linebacker Tremaine Edmunds(taken by the Bills at No. 16 overall), who should be a tackle machine in coach Sean McDermott's system. I hope I'm wrong about Allen, because a happy Bills fan base makes for a better NFL." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I dont know, reading Bill's fans comments and thoughts on Taylor here before he was dealt and most would argue that just about anyone could be an improvement over Taylor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This sounds like something written by a pessimistic old Bills fan. Not to mention Taylor’s ceiling has been realized, we don’t know what Allen’s is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Allen is about 1,000 times smarter & a much harder worker than JP. Instead of picking up garbage, Josh will be working with his WRs. Allen didn't have to retake the Wonderlic a 2nd time after spending time being coached up like JP. There is no valid comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I've read other commentators that Allen has unlimited upside and could have been the best QB in the draft. Only time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 15 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: just about anyone could be an improvement over Taylor.... Correct. You can have him back as 3rd stringer once Mayfield puts him back on the pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Allen already had what is coloquially known as "haters". I hope he is used to it because now he's a Bill, which comes with a 2x hate multiplier in the media. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 JP Losman....... That guy sure could throw one hell of a deep ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I don't care who the #%€$ Josh Allen is being compared to because in the end it's nearly all going to come downt to JA. Josh Allen isn't JP Losman. He's not anyone else, so I'll just sit back and hope he will be great. He's one of us now. 56 minutes ago, JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS said: I've read other commentators that Allen has unlimited upside and could have been the best QB in the draft. Only time will tell.

Buffalo716 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 He was my 4th rated QB but he’s my guy now because he’s a bill... and I always said if he puts it all together he will be a superstar his accuracy #s aren’t as crazy bad as some make them out to be. he had over 20 drops on the season... Over his 11 game season if you add 1 completion a game his completion % rises to 60% if you add 15 completions over 11 games for 1.3 completions per game his completion % rises to a very respectable 62.8% That is all while playing in a Pro Style offense and having to run for his life 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 JP Loserman had small hands and failed the wonderlic and is 3 inches and 25 lbs smaller,other than that they are twins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If Allen played for the Cougars for three years we would have no shot at drafting him at 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
