This thread reminds me of the one you did the other day about Jerry Sullivan not being terrible. It's almost as if you specifically create threads that are bound to annoy a large chunk of the forum. There are like 5 guys from his Junior year that play in the NFL. As far as that conference goes, that's a stacked team. It's a fallacy that he had a bad team in college the whole time. Even his senior year they had one of the best drop rates in the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyBeets Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is the main reason I feel Josh should be starting. We're bad as a team. I get that, but it would be nice to have a year of film to study Allens progression and growth. If we feel that he did not progress enough, then draft another. We will never be competitive without a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 10 hours ago, BuffaloRush said: I think that the Bills need to play Josh Allen ASAP because we need to see whether he’s the man or not. At the end of 2019, the team really need to evaluate him. Because if he’s not the man, then the Bills should draft another QB - perhaps even at #1. Think about it, the QB makes everyone around them better, especially the OL and WR’s. A good QB can overcome a bad defense by putting points on the boards - especially when they have the ball last. Unless the Bills are 110% that Allen is that guy, they should draft another QB. Each week, the team basically plays the hot hand. Then if the 2019 QB is the man and if Allen develops, you have two quality starting QB’s on rookie deals and Allen becomes a very valueable trading piece. I think they are sold on Allen and he hasn't given any indications of being an inept QB, quite the opposite actually, that said I highly doubt they are drafting a QB in 2019.

HappyDays Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 10 hours ago, Virgil said: It kinda sucks that we could pick top 5 and so far there isn’t a game changing talent. People keep saying Bosa or Oliver, but I would hate to see us keep spending picks on defense when we have so many holes on offense. I hope Allen shows enough to be the guy and there’s a RB or WR that just blows everyone away. The bust rate for top 10 WRs is way too high. And we're likely to have the #1 overall pick. Next year's class has elite pass rushing talent so that's what we should draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman1876 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 If Allen get hit by a Bus, we should draft another QB. If Allen is Abducted by aliens and never seen again then we should draft a QB. If Allen Plays worse than Jimmy Clausen we should draft another QB. Short of that We shouldnt/ For the record I think the bus scenario is the most likely of those 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comebackkid Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 13 hours ago, QB Bills said: They absolutely should. But they won't. The irony of possibly drafting first overall and passing on a QB because you sold the farm to take the third one off the board the year before.. Having said that, Allen could pan out and be better than any qb in 2019. Then again, it's the Bills. If we sold the farm for Josh how did we manage to get Edmunds?

DCOrange Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I don't agree with everything in the OP, but I do agree that the Bills should draft another QB next offseason. Best case scenario, Allen is legit and Buffalo now has a starter and no backup. They should take a QB on Day 3 to be the backup at the very least.

Soda Popinski Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Anyone care to look at Wentz's statistics from his rookie year? Would those have convinced anyone he was a franchise guy? What about Goff's rookie campaign? He looked like a gigantic bust. Year 1 for a rookie QB is essentially a learning on the job year. You might know more in year 2, usually a good developing franchise QB will take a solid step forward year 2. But you won't know anything from this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is if we are drafting early its because QB play was not as good as we would of hoped and no team in this league can afford to put there eggs into a could be.. ESPECIALLY THE BILLS I would be very upset if we passed on a having 2 capable QB's with upside. If both pan out the return on a traded QB is a boon for any franchise. If only 1 pans outs well then you covered the most important position. Now if Allen is all that and a bag of chips by the years end we will see a huge improvement and won't be drafting top 10 and we can then look at other key positions like 4 out of 5 OL positions, a real WR and a dominating pass rusher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
