PaattMaann Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Love hearing about all players working their butts off to improve all the time. Not surprised by this as Josh has already proven he is DRIVEN to get better at his craft. Great and expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer in the 5th-7th round on developing a solid backup QB. We have a decent backup in Barkley and Anderson. The only QB I want added is an undrafted QB that can be a camp arm and/or possible PS member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have to translate the growing pains of 2018 into additional W's in 2019, we all know that. But I feel like the foundation is being properly laid. How do you rank your feelings comparatively about the upcoming season with any since the start the turn of the century? After the 2004 season I don't think I could be more excited. I knew we were going to step back after last season playoff run, so this most recent August I was a little less excited. ...so yeah, I am absolutely fired up (pending draft and free agency, to a degree) for the 2019 season. I don't know if it is a playoff year, NHK, but I do know it will be the foundation of the team for years to come and not just a blip that goes away a year or two later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 1 hour ago, RobbRiddick said: So how do you explain his improvements since Anderson got on board? He's the epitome of marginal. Quite often the marginal guys make the best teachers because they were longtime backups and spent more time working on film or imitating the opposing QB in practice This. If you look at Jordan Palmer's college record, his completion percentage and yards improved significantly every year. He's the epitome of the kind of athlete who makes a good coach - the thinking guy who is not the naturally gifted, instinctual player but who has to work hard for it. People always like to say "oh, we should bring Jim Kelly (or some other great) back to coach". Chances are they have no idea how they did what they did, so they'd make a crap coach. I forget who it was who said he worked out with Brett Favre who was like "then you do THIS" and flicked the ball 50 yards - said he was great to watch but he couldn't learn much from him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Good. I love the kid's eagerness to learn and continue to improve. He doesn't just have the "I'm the best, I can sit on my butt all offseason" mentality/attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Joshin' Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 3 hours ago, eball said: This is another one of those scenarios under which I have no clue why people are upset or critical. Do you need to be "excited?" No, but why would you "poo poo" the situation? Jordan Palmer has made a name for himself as a QB coach/instructor. He's building a business of working with young QBs to get them ready for the next step in their football careers. Josh Allen -- until the end of his last college season -- never really received solid one-on-one coaching regarding mechanics and the art of playing the position. Palmer helped him immensely last year, so he's going back to continue to work on things and this is a bad thing? I can imagine Palmer sitting down with him, now, with actual NFL game film, and working things out. That's good stuff, and Palmer can do it because he's not directly affiliated with the Bills or NFL so there are no contact restrictions during the offseason. I just don't get the negativity. Well said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would like better would be the news if he had some of our WR with him, Foster and Zay. He already said he'll be meeting with the WRs at some point, so...yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Draft Tyree Jackson in the 7th. Put him on the practice roster next year. Hopefully he is Josh Allen’s backup for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's rookie minicamp, by definition you need a rookie QB or you can't run plays. Doesn't matter whether he's drafted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
