Tough go get a much better situation than having Shanahan as a HC.

I've said this before on this forum, but...

The split second between the words "Josh" and "Allen" coming out of Roger Goodell's mouth on draft day felt like an eternity. I so badly wanted the pick to be Rosen in that moment (I preferred Mayfield and Darnold, but both were off the board), and I was initially so despondent that the Bills had chosen Allen.

I was an idiot. I mean, I'm STILL an idiot, but....boy oh boy, was I wrong. It is unquestionably the happiest I've ever been to be so wrong in my life.

As for Rosen now? Well...I'm just not sure he's going to get many more opportunities. After you've flamed out with three teams in so short a time after being a 1st round draft picks...not sure how many teams are going to keep taking swings at you.

If he accepts them, he will continue to get opportunities, IMO. They likely won't be gems, mind you.

This was me as well. 

 

I had my reasons. We had just tried drafting a project QB in EJ Manuel and we finally had a playoff roster. I still thought we could make it work under Tyrod.

 

Rosen was considered one of the most pro ready to handle an offense and was an accurate passer.

 

I am very, very happy that I was wrong. Allen is unusual in that he has continually increased his accuracy along with just making smarter decisions. The fact that I still think he's improving after a near MVP season speaks to a sky high ceiling.

Similar to my story except I wanted nothing to do with Darnold or Allen. So glad to be wrong.

Think of the close calls.  I'm still convinced that if Denver hadn't traded up to take Tebow, we would have grabbed him we would have been looking to take him.  He had dinner w/ Jim Kelly during a trip to Buffalo during draft process and had his stamp of approval.  Just imagine if we had drafted Tebow... and then followed that up with Rosen.  Did I just say all that out loud?!?

I may be in the minority here but I actually feel kinda bad for the kid. Like Darnold I feel he didn't get the commitment to develop and build around them from the team that drafted them. You get drafted and then your new HC runs you out of town the following year. WTF Arizona!! 

 

That being said, I'm so glad we have our guy! Good luck to you Joshua Ballinger Lippincott Rosen😝

Speaking of scrub QBs,

I see that Geno Smith of the Seahawks is out of this week’s Raiders game. That’s unfortunate, but I will congratulate him for still being in the league and for being the proven best QB from the 2013 draft. :thumbsup:

Allen was thrown into a worse situation than Rosen and Darnold his rookie year.  Neither get sympathy from me.

No argument there. But Buffalo did everything possible to develop and provide him with players, scheme and an environment to thrive. What did the Jets and Cards do?

Sign him and we will have Three first  Round  picks at Qb. How many teams can ever say that! 

Smart move then starting selling them off for draft picks 😂 after a small showcase.

Cardinals smartly got what they could for Rosen and moved on.  The Jets meanwhile......

This is true… I will say thought that each organization took different approaches to developing their QB’s and Buffalo was the only one that a plan.  Rosen or Sam are probably better QB’s  if they were drafted to Buffalo, but probably never match the success that Josh had

Their plan for his rookie year was horrible.  Superb after that.

Wherever he goes, teams immediately draft their QB of the future. No one seems to see enough there, to try and develop him. I see a career backup who will have a few good games or maybe even season, in relief, after 8-10 years in the league and then end up back on the bench til he retires.

Really? You think they ARE better QBs? Or might have been at draft time?

Not sure I'd agree. The plan to sit him and let him learn, was a fine plan, IMO. But it had to be aborted.  Josh succeeded despite the Bills plan going awry.

No no no…. I’m saying if they are drafted to Buffalo they probably are better QB’s than the QB’s they turned out to be in actuality.  But I still don’t feel they’d ever be as as good Josh was this year.  That’s what I meant.

Mike Glennon might have a case that he's better than Geno & Matt Barkley is still in the league.  It wasn't that hard to figure out that 2013 was a dud class BEFORE the draft.  The only ones who didn't figure that out were Nix & Whaley.
