Thunderstruck Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter Kyler Murray’s Pro Day at Oklahoma today. But also Pro Day for Buffalo QB Tyree Jackson, who will hold his at the Buffalo Bills facility, which is fitting. Jackson’s arm is as strong, if not stronger, than Bills QB Josh Allen. Many believe he will go higher than expected in draft Edited March 13, 2019 by Thunderstruck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I just read that and nothing against Tyree but that’s word for word from his agent imo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So, it just so happens that in back to back years the two strongest arms in recent NFL history come out? I doubt it. Allen’s arm was touted as one of, if not the, strongest ever. I highly doubt Tyree Jackson is better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstruck Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Personally, I think Josh should show up in the middle of his pro day, sling it 80 yards in the air, drop the mic, and walk out 3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've watched TJ closely now for his entire UB career. He peaked in the first half of this last season. This game against Eastern Michigan was likely his best. But after Anthony Johnson pulled his hammy his play went downhill. Defenses were able to confuse him and he became indecisive. He's one reason why UB lost 3 of their last 4, and blew a 19-point lead in the MAC Championship. (The other reason was UB's sieve defense.) He definitely has the physical gifts. But can he learn the NFL game? That's the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenInLight Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If he slides to like the 5th round, maybe the 4th I'd take him to be our developmental guy to be our backup behind Allen in a few years. Having a backup with a similar skillset as our starter is very valuable in todays nfl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 They have a test at the Combine that gauges the velocity of a thrown football. Tyree Jackson scored a 54. Which was 3rd amongst even his own class. Will Grier topped out the 2019 class and scored a 59. Last season, Josh Allen scored a 62. Fake news. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to believe behind the scenes he’s really helping Allen out. So you would be looking at Barkley being cut, which isn’t going to happen after that extension. If they could stash him on the PS I would be all for it. But no way a 4-5 round QB isn’t getting poached. UDFA on the other hand, not a bad idea to have one of those QB’s floating around the PS.

I think its great that they have a guy like Anderson around that Josh is comfortable with and can learn from. Having said that- why does Derek Anderson have to be our 3rd strong QB? Give him some sort of QB whisperer consulting role, if that is what he is good at, and take him off of the salary cap books. Get an actual developmental guy in here that could od the job if Allen goes down, or maybe even trade for a higher pick if the guy is eventually able to turn somebody's head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if they make Anderson an official coach he is only allowed limited contact with Allen during the off season. He would have to be an independent contractor ala Jordan Palmer, and that is kind of going down a slippery slope considering he was just on the roster.

Chandler#81 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I wasn’t impressed in their Bowl Game. He made some nice plays, some very bad ones. But I thought he gave up/pulled a Donovan McNabb with the game on the line. He does have a gun, but it’s a little too scattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight Pound Six Ounce Newborn Baby Jesus, in his golden fleece diapers created the greatest throwing arm in all of history and bestowed it on Josh Allen....never to be replicated or surpassed.

Does this mean he is going in the 5th round instead of the 6th? Or does it mean he is going from a day 3 pick to a day 2 pick? I’d be shocked if anyone takes a chance on him before well into day 3.

Allen put on a show at his pro day , slinging that ball 70+ with ease and having Eisen and Co in awe , I doubt Jackson has as strong of an arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen threw a ball so fast at Sports Science that they had to triple and quadruple check the equipment because they thought it was faulty...he threw a ball clocked at 74 MPH which was at least 5 MPH faster than the next fastest throw ever measured by them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but during the Senior Bowl, he clocked in at over 66mph. There has never been another QB that has been officially measured to top 61.
