He is our guy, he has the physical tools, he’s a hard worker and seems to be a good person. The only reasonable option I see is to pray it all comes together.

Beans Dream Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I’m usually critical of some of the moves we’ve made in the past at QB (RJ, Losman, EJ). There is no sure thing for any of these guys, but I think the Bills made great moves to get Josh AND Edmunds. For the first time since Kelly I am really excited about our QB. If he busts, well we’ll just have to try again :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I don't follow college football, so I really have no opinion of him as a QB. However, since he's now a member of the Bills, I am most certainly a fan of Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan1959 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) I was leaning toward Rosen; however, there were some things that I loved about Allen (I ranked him just behind Rosen) - and I was not disappointed when he was selected. He is definitely my guy now. Edited May 4, 2018 by billsfan1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think there were three of us that really liked Josh Allen before he was a Buffalo Bill. Bandit, Metz and myself. This year I really studied all four of the top QB's and came away so impressed with Allen and what he has accomplished since high school. He was the only QB in this year's draft I wanted to see become a Buffalo Bill. So very happy he became a Bill and I think over time he will win over very Bills fan.

Magnum Force Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 After breaking the playoff drought in the same year we appear to be trading up to get our QB of the future, I thought this is great and that there is no way we are getting into the top 10 without mortgaging the farm. But for Beane to come away from this draft with both Allen and Edmunds and keep next year's 1st was beyond incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I was huge Allen fan at last year's draft. I was happy the Bills passed on that class. I thought we would tank and wind up with my dream #1 pick, Josh Allen. I wasn't sure if it was possible, but I loved his upside. To me he was the quarterback we've needed for such a long time. I'm old school a bit. I believe in size, strength, speed, arm strength, hand size and all of that stuff. I think the wind, more than cold, is a factor in Buffalo and I think this guy was made to play here. Fast forward around 6-8 months and I really fell in love with Rosen. With the hire of Daboll, I thought he would be the perfect person to operate that system. Alas he wasn't the pick. Deep down I felt I was almost cheating on Allen. I was dissapointed for a second, then I realized they picked the guy I really wanted in the first place. My buddy was like...trust your gut dude. So that's where I am. I would have been happy with any of Darnold, Rosen or Allen. Bottom line, I got my real true love and I couldn't be happier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Freak Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'll admit, I was a Rosen fan from the get go. He is the best passer at this point. They all have flaws but when you weigh the flaws, priorities may change. For example, Is it better to risk the chance you can improve ones accuracy or risk his lack of mobility &/or propensity to get very injured? Since the pick, I've watched every game Allen played in & now feel alot was very overblown. This kid could be the best we've evr had if it all comes together & I believe his floor is much higher than I first believed. GO JOSH. You've beaten every obstacle you met so far, now lets light up this league!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 He's our QB so now I'm a fan. Simple. I would have taken Rosen, but I understand why we didn't and I'm ok with that. My guy from day 1 was Mayfield. The Browns took him #1 overall. Can't be mad at that either. This is the way the draft went and I love my Bills. Can't wait to see Allen chucking the pigskin to Benjamin for 40-50 yard TD's.

NewEra Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Dam Bloke. Didn’t think I’d see that vote from you. I can’t recall your opinion of him prior to the draft though, so that explains that. I figured you’d at least be excited about watching someone with a bazooka for an arm with great size and mobility. I’ve never seen a QB prospect so physically intriguing. You think he’s a real long shot to succeed or were you voting in jest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'll go on record that he wasn't my pick but now that he is a Buffalo Bill i will get behind him all the way until he proves other wise ! Unlike a lot of so called Bills fans that live to bash any move they make while they work their 9 to 5 as undercover as a NFL professional talent evaluator !!

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 He is absolutely, positively 100% my guy now! I don't need to massage my ego and say that he faces long odds and will likely fail, or that it is disengeniuos to support him now, since I was a Rosen guy.

Josh Rosen did NOT have the DNA and its not at all surprising he was not taken. What does DNA for the Buffalo Bills mean. Why does he have it and Rosen doesn’t? Beane has said something to this effect and I really have no idea what either of you mean. BTW, I was born and raised in WNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I didn't have just 1 guy who I liked , like many others on here did, I thought Josh Allen was a great pickup and they finally addressed the QB position with a top 10 pick (1st time in franchise history) so I love what they've done. I won't sit here and say I know what QB's will be great or not, I loved Blaine Gabbert, thought cam Newton was a gimmick QB who might have 1 good year in him, thought no way Russell Wilson was going to make it at his size but it's not all hard luck for me as I thought Jimmy Clausen would be a giant bust in 2010, I felt Aaron Rodgers was a much better prospect than Alex Smith, I thought Deshaun Watson and stated it on here would be the best QB in that draft class and thought Big Ben was the best QB from the 2004 draft before that actually happened although some would argue it's Eli.

Fadingpain Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Poll is not particularly clear. Not clear what you mean by "my guy". I definitely didn't want Allen to be drafted and still do not like the draft pick, even though we made it. If you mean "will you support" Allen, though, the answer is "of course." Who wouldn't? I'll give him every chance to show us he can do it. If/when it's clear he can't, however, I'll want this guy gone faster than you can say Tyrod. We saw how fast/willing McDermott was willing to bring out the hook for Tyrod last year in favor of a rookie taken in the 5th round! I do not think they will pull a Doug Whaley and continue to try and shove a square peg into a round hole with Allen if it is obvious he can't do it. So that's good. Until then, we have to try and hope he can do it. Still hate the pick however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
