Mr. WEO Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The way they handled the QB roster this offseason and going into week one, I was thinking more like John Wayne Gacy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The analogy applies to them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I wonder if Ron Wayne was the guy that told John Butler to take Leif Larsson instead of Tom Brady in the 6th round of the 2000 draft? ?

blacklabel Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I'd say their comparison is pretty far away from "indisputable facts." These turds are paid to come up with controversial talking points in order to drum up interest and get people involved in calling in and discussing things with them. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't believe their own BS half the time. And I dunno how many times it has to be said but anyone that thinks Mahomes would've lit it up in Buffalo (or anywhere else) like he has in KC then you're delusional. He has an outrageous supporting cast and a very good OL plus a coach that's been known as "the QB whisperer" for years. He fell into a perfect situation and he's excelling, good for him. Other teams passed on him as well. There was a lot of hesitation from most who scouted this guy that they didn't think his style of play would translate well to the NFL. It's not like he was some perfect, can't-miss prospect, there were plenty of questions on him coming out of Texas Tech. Another thing beyond that, so many people think the only way to win in the NFL right now is to have a QB who throws for 450 yards and 5 TDs a game, yet here we are in the playoffs where defense makes the difference. The scores are 20-14, 21-7, 24-22, 16-15, etc. Yeah, the Patriots, Chiefs and Rams scored at least 30 in their games this weekend but that's more like the exception than the standard. Every year there are a handful of teams that light up the scoreboard while every other team averages between 14 and 26 points a game. This idea that no team can succeed without a quarterback that puts up Madden-type numbers every season just isn't the case.

But they DID make that poor choice. Absolutely... The Bills made a bad choice, the Bears made a bad choice the Jets, Jags and Browns made bad choices picking RB's and DB's when they had a need at QB... I don't even know how to describe the Bengals reach for John Ross at 9, the pick before Mahomes went... Plenty of second guessing to go around so I don't think Bills fans need to feel like they were the only ones that missed the Mahomes boat..

Not just for the obvious reasons but also so we don't get another ten years of this Mahomes crap If Philip Rivers and his feeble arm and Big Ben and his spanx are still playing winning football 15 years into the league then my guess is Mahomes will be chucking it a lot longer than "another ten years". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're saying "he needs to be in the discussion of top 5...if Allen tops out as a top 12 QB...then the Bills have fallen short" I knew once the playoffs hit that the Mahomes sh*t would finally start hitting the fan around Buffalo. A lot of Bills fans are really just now seeing how good Mahomes really is. Yeah even at the time of the trade the Bills HAD to understand that if they traded away the pick that was used on a player who became a franchise QB that there would be much scrutiny. I've compared it to them passing on Marino in the 1983 draft. A year later Marino had the greatest passing season ever and the Bills were 2-14 with THEIR draft pick lighting up the USFL. It was hard to envision a scenario where Jim Kelly would ever come to Buffalo and even if he did Dan Marino was the heir apparent to Unitas as the greatest QB of all time.........it was pretty bleak. The Bills got lucky and their years of tanking and the very timely subsequent death of the USFL gave them a franchise QB and a loaded roster that got the best of Marino for he and Kelly's prime years. Hopefully Allen/Mahomes ultimately works out like Kelly/Marino did. That's probably the best case scenario really. As @davemcbride mentioned though..........if Mahomes wins a SB this year..........well.......tougher hill to climb for the Bills organization. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st pete gogolak Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Bills are actually the exact opposite of Ronald Wayne. Ralph Wilson turned a $25,000 investment in 1959 into whatever Pegula paid for the team a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
