njbuff Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 So, I guess the season finale against the Jets meant something after all. It showed that Barkley can't play in the NFL and why the Bills were in the market for a young back up QB. I don't know how this works out, but, at worst, Fromm has worked with an NFL-type roster.

Brandon Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 He's a smart, accurate QB who reads defenses well, played at a high level for several years in a major conference and is known as a good worker and team leader. I think his arm is fine, especially considering that they're asking him to be a backup. Its a good pick in R5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Best pick so far. I don't know if he'll be good, but until we find a franchise QB we have to keep looking. I'm relieved to know that OBD understands this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best, dude progresses, she’s flashes, and in year 4 we are able to flip this pick into a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets took a backup QB first, so he was probably just talking his boy Sam off the ledge when this pick was made. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I want in the fifth round is a QB who dominated in college with a massive ceiling who is day one going to beat out NFL veterans. No, you’re unreasonable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 For Fromms own good, don’t allow him to wear #11 on the Bills. That number seems to be cursed. Don’t give it to anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I love it, I think the kid has a shot to develop into a starter, hes an awful lot like Brady when he came out, not saying he will ever do jack *****, but I like the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 1 minute ago, MAJBobby said: Wonder if people think Drew Lock is a BU with a weak arm? Same ball Velocity as Fromm. Ball velocity is probably the least accurate stat, if you can even call it that. There are endless examples of guys with lousy arms throwing mph as hard as guys with huge arms. Every year at the combine. It's worthless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, no one roots for the back up QB to fail more than TBD huh? Isn’t he wearing the same colors as every other goofball we draft late with flaws? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 1 minute ago, NewEra said: I love this pick so much. He is a an competition machine. Allen IS our starter, but you can’t tell me that this selection doesn’t put some additional pressure on him. It pushes him even harder. Fromm beat out the higher rated Eason and made him transfer Fromm beat out the prodigy Fields and made him transfer. the kids competes. the kid wins. With Allen due to get paid in a couple years and and still relatively unproven, Fromm will bring the best out of Allen. Fromm, watching allen throw lasers all around the field, will likely improve his velocity yes, he has a lot of work to do as a QB, but he has time. You can’t teach the stuff that he brings to the table. ...and yet if you talk to UGA fans they think and thought that was insanity. There isn’t one sane person in the US that thinks Fromm is a better QB than Fields (who will be a top 2 pick). Fromm isn’t going to all of a sudden become talented. His ceiling is low. He has a chance to carve out a career as a backup (and a good chance). He is not in any way, shape or form pushing Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillzFreak Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just now, Perry Turtle said: Totally. Fromm doesn't have a better skillset than Barkley. Barkley has experience in the NFL and the Bills offense. Come preseason, Barkley will be the obvious 2nd string QB, and Fromm will have more value as a trade asset than the emergency QB. So that means bringing in a guy to compete with Barkley is wrong. Let them duel it out and let the best man win the job. This pick is about competition and pushing a guy like barkley. No job is just handed on this team, as we see you have to earn it and if Barkley is the better qb as you say, we will find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
