He had FIVE 1,000 yard rushers in his 3 year career. His stats look better than he played. They show him to be an elite college QB which wasn’t the case. He was a solid game manger that got his stud RB/OL into the right play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated Peterman from the start and said he doesn't even belong in the league because he simply cannot throw the ball to certain places on the field that get there quick enough. If he HAD even adequate arm strength he would have been picked in the top two rounds. Fromm I mean. Edited April 25, 2020 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking him to play in those winters won’t work out well. Overall I love our draft. I’ve been a die hard Bills fan since 1990. I just can’t imagine how anyone thought he’d be a good fit. He’s Barkley 2.0. He’ll help Allen tho. He has a ridiculously high football IQ. At the elite 11 he correct his coach on a play the 2nd day of practice. He learned the playbook in one day. He’s not great with post snap reads but he’s really good pre snap. That should help Allen I think. Out of 8 home games at new era any given year, about 3 are in bad weather. It’s an overrated factor, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I like this pick. Maybe he turns into a good backup for the Bills. And who knows, maybe he can offer Allen some help in his development. Some of his strengths are things that Allen needs to improve at. From @DJB‘s scouting report on Fromm’s strengths: Quote 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need QBs with good arms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t have a super strong arm, but scouts are looking more for precision and intellect oftentimes.

FLFan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Some of the posts in this thread are priceless. We are talking about a developmental QB drafted in the fifth round to one day be a backup. People are reacting like he is being drafted to be the franchise savior. Drafting a developmental QB was a good move. He has a winning pedigree and some decent skills, good intelligence. Great backup potential down the road. He will be number 3 this year if he sticks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrow easily has enough arm strength. It's just not a cannon. From is a pop gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
