Barkley is terrible. true. but did this pick upgrade our team more than say LB or CB could have? just surprised. He's a winner. And smart.

We had Peterman 2.0 in Peterman. And now we have Peterman 3.0 in Fromm. Rag arms cannot play. You never know which is why you always draft a QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par73 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Fromm can compete for back-up QB. Arm strength is a major concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: Honestly, I think they have to make Josh work out. 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. I dunno, NFL moves pretty fast these days. You don’t get 5-10 years to develop guys anymore. McBeane might find their job security doesn’t last that long. It’s smart from their POV to try and groom a second guy.

LABILLBACKER Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Barkley looked awful last year. Picking up a very good young backup to work side be side with Josh is a good pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a rag arm. If you were a fan of what Peterman brought you’ll love Fromm!! you owe me a "you were right" as per our bet of 18-14, offense-defense first round.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Bills are checking all the boxes for me. A 21 year old DE to improve the aging DE rotation, check. A productive RB to pair with Singletary, check. A productive WR with some size, without giving up all speed. Now a QB from a major program to compete with Barkley. I really like this pick. Our depth across the board is improving, with three picks on offense. The Bills still need a LB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaadThingsMan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 If he develops into a career backup who can win a couple games in case of injury and contribute to film study then its a success. He wasn't drafted to be a franchise QB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Barkley's one good game ever has blinded many of us to the need of backup QB. We need to still have a chance of a season if Allen ever goes down. Fromm is a smart distributor of the ball and has a chance to be a good backup. No chance to ever be the starter. Nothing wrong with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I am very happy with this- I think he might be the ideal backup- won't lose you games but understands his role on team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLBighits Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Well the way Josh Allen plays, it's a good pick as you never know when your starting quarterback gets knocked out a few games or so. Definitely competition for the #2 spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
