17OP2Canton Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I love JA and think he’s the franchise QB, but I would look to take Anthony Gordon with our 3rd or 4th rounder (if he makes it that far) given how few holes we have now. The dude is a baller and would be a great backup to Josh. Plus I want to make sure he doesn’t go to NE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I started the same thread a few days ago. Allen has always been my QB. There are only a handful of needs from the draft now - Edge, OLB, OT, RB, P. And all of those spots are for depth. I would favor a veteran like Winston, Dalton, or Newton. They have enough talent to compete for the AFC Championship this year. They only do that with better QB play. I think Allen will step up. But why take the chance. Find a QB that can win if Allen gets hurt or falters. They have the cap for a one year deal. If they don't get one of those three (which I think there is almost zero chance they will) I would still draft a QB in the mid rounds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still unsure about Allen after two years but any serious person can't at this time say he doesn't have the potential to be a top 10 starter in this league. That being said, SIGN A DAMN QUALITY BACKUP!!! This team's too good. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I would probably pass on drafting a QB this year. Someone like James Morgan or Nate Stanley might be worth considering at the end of the draft if they’re available but overall I don’t really like the developmental prospects this year.

You don't need Tom Brady to win big games. Allen seems to have the same thing that made Kemp a winner: Leadership. And sophomore QBs aren't yet fully made. Josh can get better and hopefully will. Jim Plunkett, for example, in his sophomore year with the Patsies made really bad decisions too - far worse than Josh. That season he threw 25 picks versus 8 TDs! People questioned whether or not he was good enough to start in the NFL. Later in his career, though, Plunkett won two Super Bowl with the Raiders and was named a Super Bowl MVP. I think it's far too early to give up on Josh. There was clear progression from Year 1 to Year 2. Let's see what Year 3 brings before we start looking for another QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I see the backup QB situation this way. Newton, Winston and Dalton (if available) all would want to still be a starter but at least would want a Bridge QB position. They might turn into backups in the future but now they would be too expensive and not a proper fit for the role. So it seems there are these choices: 1. Stay with what they got. Allen, Barkley and Webb. I'm not a Barkley hater but his role may be over as I feel the training wheels will be off of Josh's bike this year. How much advice can Barkley give him going forward? Maybe Beane thinks Webb could grow into the backup role. It seems to me they can do better than what they got. 2. Draft a QB. If so, would it be a mid-rounder or a late-rounder? It sounds like some of the informed college posters are saying there is not much available in the 2nd tier of QBs this year. If true that's a shame because I think this year the timing would be right. Josh in his 3rd year and with no "big needs" a 4th rounder seems sensible. Of course that guy will not check off all the boxes but after all it is a long term backup that you are looking for. 3. Free Agency/Trade. Trades are always a wildcard so I'm not sure who is available but it is a possibility. The remaining FAs other than Newton and Winston are poor choices. There is a chance that after the draft/final cuts that a decent backup shakes loose. I guess we will find out what Beane and McDermott think next month but it sure would be nice to know that if needed they have the best QB available to fill in.

machine gun kelly Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I appreciate the thread OP, but I wouldn’t do a QB this year when it’s almost assured whether anyone on the board or not will probably use if there is yearly progression a full five years with the extension to Allen to see if he is the guy. I’d rather bundle picks to get some studs, and end up with maybe 5 picks tops. Move up for a WR/EDGE/RB. I’m sure two other BPA, but I’d be so happy with studs at those three positions with actually WR and RB as top priorities, but we can can get a solid RB at a later third day pick. Keep adding weapons, and if we get another cheap Edge guy, for the next four years, awesome. I’d be surprised if we take any other top FA if there are any left, and rather save the $ for the upcoming contracts after one more year of cheap labor.

My thought process is do it now (if a decent guy is available) because it takes a while for a rookie to get to a useful point no matter what the circumstances.

I had not seen the earlier threads about drafting a QB. I was thinking more about obtaining an experienced backup. I trust Beane to make a good decision, but I can't say I was impressed with Barkley's (admittedly limited) play last season and worry that if Josh goes down a great opportunity to win the division and maybe make some noise in the playoffs could be wasted. I'm not interested in them getting Cam Newton--seems silly to me; he's not going to want to be a backup, for one thing.

JaCrispy Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Imo, the Bills will definitely need to draft a QB this year, most likely between rounds 4-7... They need a guy to, not only compete with Barkley, but take over as the full time backup when Barkley’s contract is up after the 2020 season... You would think a smart team would want a guy to be acclimated to the league and the offense before he is relied upon...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I like Cole Mcdonald from Hawaii in the late rounds as a guy who could eventually be a #2. I like his arm and athleticism, has a weird release, but I’m not sure if its a major problem, its just weird. And he's one of the guys out in California training with Josh Allen, so there would be a relationship there. I believe the Montez kid is as well.

I do have a question though. Why is competition good at other positions, but not at QB? Allen is in yr 3, not a rookie. Competition should do him good. The question isn't about Winston, per say. Just wondering why you would emphasize Winston would come in to compete and make it sound like a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 If Eason makes it to the 3rd or 4th rd I think you consider it. Jalen Hurts in a slash role I would like alot as well. Developmental as a qb. Work him into a Tasym Hill type package as a Wr, Rb, Qb. Allen is athletic to run any play from the qb position, but I feel hes at a place in his career to begin limiting his hits.
