brianthomas Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Fromm has similar personality traits to Tim Tebow... just a good well respected guy on & off the field. Who has a high compete level within himself. He's got some dog in him & will work hard to be the best he can be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I knew it! I called this when Fromm was still on the board after our Round 4 pick. You keep drafting QBs....always! The upside is way higher than any other roster spot. Well done Beane. Brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You also can't un-teach ragarmitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo44 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Always remember and never forget: arm strength is the only, and I mean only, relevant or significant measurable when you assess how good a quarterback is!

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...

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...

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...
