maryland-bills-fan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 1 hour ago, The Dean said: I see a lot of Fromm. I think he will have a long career (injuries excepted) as an NFL backup. Intelligent and accurate. Can read defenses. Rag arm for downfield passes. Now, in no way am I equating the two, but wan't Brady considered to have a bit of a rag arm when he was drafted? I know he had no deep ball then. Maybe he can teach Allen some things, and Allen can teach him a few. Not expecting him to be a mad bomber or anything. But you are right, Josh is WAY more talented. Or maybe the Bills can get something for him down the line. take a look at his highlights he throws far downfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care about intelligence, accuracy, and processing of information. The problem is that you can also describe Tim Couch, Danny Wuerffel, and A.J. McCarron the same way. Smart guys who lacked talent. You could have even said that about Barkley, who was a 4th rounder. In the end, it's a fifth round QB. It was a luxury pick. It's not the next coming of Brady, or Pennington. It's a guy who is going to struggle to beat out Barkley to be the 2nd string QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just didn't have a strong arm. He was the equivalent of a first round pick though, because there was no question. If there was he would have fallen to the 4-6 like all those guys do.

But he’s proven himself the starter until he either tanks or proves he’s worth that kind of money. Not really worried by it. I like seeing the organization have that '' next - man - up '' mentality. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I think that was a particularly bad day for him. But the guy does not have a cannon for an arm.

Malazan Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Might be my favorite pick. You absolutely should draft QBs even if you believe you have one. A. You need a backup B. It puts pressure on Allen. If you preach competition, you need competition. From has a different skillset than Allen does and he should be able to push Allen in those areas at least. C. If the guy shows anything at all, you either have a backup on a good contract or trade bait. Options which has been beane's MO. Give himself as many options as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this rag arm thing was real, why was Fromm considered a day two pick last season? Why was Barkley considered a potential first rounder before going back to school another year? He wasn’t a REAL day 1 or 2 pick. That was a case of the talking heads being way behind the scouts. There was a time that Matt Barkley was considered the number one overall pick. The same was true for Jevan Snead. That was never actually the case because they weren’t good enough. The talking heads are ALWAYS behind the football people. Earlier in the thread you were talking about Fromm as a prospect vs. Fields. That’s laughable. One is a LOCK as a top 5 pick and the other has a chance to be a decent backup. That has ALWAYS been the case. Edited April 26, 2020 by Kirby Jackson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s hard to se the arm on video if they don’t throw certain routes. Another factor that is ignored both ways is coaching and talent around you.

It’s possible I’m underestimating his arm strength, and it's merely appalling and embarrassing instead of disqualifying, but I doubt it.

BuffaloRebound Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Watched his game against Auburn. He’s clearly played in a ton of big games and has handled himself well, but I’m not sure I ever saw him actually step into a pass. He throws off his back foot but doesn’t have a big arm. The pedigree, intangibles, and importance of the position he plays make it worth a 5th rounder, but he’s gotta change his footwork to make it in the NFL.
