Kirby Jackson Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just now, Doc Brown said: Backup QB was definitely an area of need with Josh Allen's style of play. Barkley is terrible. I do agree here and actually think Fromm can fill that role. I went with gross because I knew that we’d have some people talking about him being better than Josh!! Ha ha, he is a career backup and could fill that role. He lacks physical talent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 My breakdown on Fromm Jake Fromm QB Georgia Strengths: Cerebral player with good football instincts. Outstanding leadership qualities and character Throws with good anticipation, touch and accuracy Operates through progressions well and keeps eyes downfield when facing pressure Plays with poise and confidence in pressure situations Has a firm solid base and calm footwork when in the pocket Rarely puts the ball in danger areas. 11 total INT in 3 seasons as a starting QB. Knows when to throw the ball away to avoid the sack. As evidenced by only 15 sacks taken in 2020 Weakness: Mobility appears average to below average as does athleticism Arm velocity is average. Accuracy and touch suffers when trying to increase throw velocity above his normal range Difficulty with deep ball connection Summary Intelligent player who makes smart decisions with the football including pre and pro snap reads. High character player who will likely be a team leader and captain at NFL level. Played in pro style offence, and might be the most NFL ready of all draft eligible quarterbacks in 2020. Fromm was excellent in the National Championship game as a freshman. Has a willingness to scramble but is not a threat to the defence. Arm strength and athleticism are a concern and may hold him back. An anticipatory thrower able to accurately make most throws, however does struggle with deep outs. At minimum appears to be a solid NFL backup with possible starting potential. Comparison: Chad Pennington 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I also think it will be good for Allen's development to suddenly be the veteran who helps guide a younger guy. So far he's always been the young guy in the QB room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Waste of a pick IMO. Matt Barkley is his ceiling. I guess we can try and flip him for a 3rd in 3 years if we develop him right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Extremely accurate but not alot of arm strength, sounds alot like Drew Brees to me, I love the pick... They need better assurance if Allen misses time and Barkley wasn't all that impressive imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Wow! Well we have insurance...this was a guy who was expected to potentially be the #1 pick a year or two ago. I doubt it bothers Allen...I think he is up for the competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I love it. Create a completion in every unit. Josh Allen is our starter. Jake Fromm wants to be our starter and he knows how to compete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any good scenarios where Josh doesn't work out and they promote Fromm to starter. Too early to talk plan 'B' at QB. Fromm is the Barkley replacement. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
