BillsFan130 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) If there was a re draft at this point in the season, who would you take if you were in the Jets position, Allen or Darnold? I know I’m biased but I would honestly say Allen. Darnolds concerns going into the draft were turnovers, and he’s showing nothing to ease that concern. Allen was obviously very raw coming from a small school so it was a high risk pick. Allen Is showing he can play in this league at a fairly high level and this is with probably the worst weapons in the league. (I know it’s way too early to judge these QBs right now, this is just a hypothetical question) Edited November 26, 2018 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyny13 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I would take Allen. I would’ve take Allen before the season as well. Too much upside to ignore, he’s still super raw but the sky can be the limit. That being said, Mayfield was always the guy I wanted. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'd take Allen. Leading the league in interceptions is a bad sign. Although, to be fair, the Jets are an incredible mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make this hypo more applicable to Buffao, you ask the question if the Bills could redraft would they choose Allen, Rosen, Jackson for QBs, that’s it.

Success Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I was a huge Darnold guy. I still think he will pan out quite well for the Jets. But I’d go Allen. He has a lot of intangibles that you really can’t teach. And I love the idea of the Bills and Jets fighting it out for first place in the division over the next decade or so - while the Patriots look up from the cellar. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying I think it’s very clear cut that most people would take Allen and Darnold over Rosen and Jackson at this point. The close question IMO is Allen vs. Darnold right now. Just like I didn’t add Baker.

gobills1212 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Hmmmmm Either people arent being truthful, or they are very easily swayed. This would be a VERY lopsided poll in the other direction last july. I guess it fits with the league being a 'what have you done for me lately ' type situation. I like Allen. I like his moxy. I also remember scaring the crap out of my dogs by yelling so loud after the allen pick that they didnt come back into that room for a good hour after the fact - both that they didnt get to #2 and they picked the wrong josh. My wife was a bit more positive however. As i said then, he is now our guy and itll be fun to root for him.... but if i felt that way then im not sure 7 starts should do much either way...

CajunBillsBacker Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Predraft I had them Mayfield, Allen, Rosen, then Darnold. Too many people didn’t take it serious enough when it was brought up that Allen had absolutely no one to play with at Wyoming. You can’t develop a QB when your line and receivers are that bad. Unfortunately he’s had to deal with a lot of that in the early part of the season with the Bills. I was never a fan of Darnold and would have been upset if we had ended up with him. When the Jets took him, they cheered, and I smiled. He is a turnover machine. He was in college, and he is a turnover waiting to happen in the NFL. Nothing will change with this guy.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Based on my work done prior to the draft I'd have taken Rosen. I still haven't seen enough from any QB to move me off of that spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 IMHO, Josh Allen was always about the long game. Darnold may have been a bit more NFL ready in terms of pedigree, but I think Josh Allen's potential is unbelievably high. To me Drafting Josh Allen was the equivalent of taking a real, unbroken stallion and turning him into one of the lite race horses of all time. It takes hard work, patience, dedication to the craft, and a refining ability to hone in on the talent and intangibles that can make him great. It also takes a nuanced comprehension that really NOBODY knew / knows if he possesses in that the ability to read and adjust to an NFL Defense pre-snap. Somewhere on the internet, a.k.a. Twitter-verse, a comparison was done of all the collegiate starts among the top 10 QB Rookies and Allen by far had the fewest. So he was the most raw, with the least exposure but with the greatest potential. IMO, the remains true. It will be a few years before we know what Josh Allen truly is or is not, but as of today with the progress I've seen, I'd take Allen for all the reasons listed above. If I were a team like the Ravens or 49ers, probably Darnold. Darnold is more NFL ready in total, or a year ahead in his development, but I just think if Allen puts it all together, we have the makings of one of the best QBs, and certainly the best Bills QB since (maybe ever) JK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
