Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 41 minutes ago, Albany,n.y. said: I watched him in both games, the 1st one a little & the 2nd the whole game since it didn't conflict with the Bills game. The 1st one was so bad that the next week when Glennon was horrible they never put Fromm in. The 2nd game he started because Glennon was injured & couldn't play. He was so bad that at one point the Giants ran the ball on 2nd & 3rd down deep in their own territory deciding to play for the punt rather than let him even try to get a 1st down by throwing the ball. Fromm is not a NFL QB & has no business ever playing another down. There is zero reason to bring him back. I'd rather bring back Matt Barkley than Fromm. Only thing id mention is - he did get picked up off waivers and had like a week and a half before he was playing. Midseason thats like 4 practices and 2 walk throughs. After being the covid QB for 2 years. Not exactly set up for success. It was also with kitchens calling plays from a garrett playbook. I'm not saying he's tom brady, just saying even brady would probably have struggled with that situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Bills Fan Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Interesting read of Fromm’s pre draft assessment: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jake-fromm/32004652-4f32-5139-dbcd-9c79c7f41e56 Looks like: low ceiling , but an intelligent game manager type… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloaggie Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 He was a Finance major at UGA. May be time to get a front office job. He's not an NFL caliber QB. Overrated because of the National Championship game exposure, and he didn't even play well in that game. Kirby Smart was not smart in starting Fromm over Fields.

They can draft a 3rd sting QB in the 5th+ round and pay him pennies on the dollar How much money could they save replacing him with a rookie?

Rochesterfan Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I wonder if the Bills bring him back at least to the 90 man roster and then PS. They need to add at least two QBs As the Giants did not tender him - he is a FA - this is the kind of signing that happens after the comp period as a 1 year min deal and camp arm. I don’t think he makes a wave one way or the other - so no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 although Fromm didn't do well in NY, I would favor another look at him. Of course, the Bills may have seen enough already, and they will know what is correct here. His performance w the Giants was Peterman like.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Only if he's Chandler Jones' practice dummy, other than that he shouldn't be on this roster even with the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I did not see the Giants games) I mean, he must have completed something longer in college?! I'd rather take him here cheaply than draft a camp arm. Save that late pick for a punter, or to trade up. ? Why waste your time tho? He was in our system for two years and was the 4th string QB. What benefit do we need to see him again? The giants ran a QB sneak on 3rd and 9 With him because they trusted him so little. The former OC who coached him and Asst. GM who drafted him don’t want him on a team with an unsettled QB situation. This would be like bringing back Peterman. Why? You know he sucks and plenty of guys can learn a system and be a camp arm. Undrafted guys can be camp arms. They need to find a legit backup, then pull some kid to throw passes for the scout team. Fromm had his shot. He failed, time to move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you bring in some undrafted kid that turns out to be a Tony Romo or even Brian Hoyer? Isn’t that better than someone who has played, and shown he can’t do it?

BullBuchanan Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) There will be plenty of new Jake Fromms to choose from this year who will make rookie minimum. There's no need to go get one that has pee stains on him. I say this as someone who loved drafting him.

prissythecat Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The love for Jake Fromm is strong on this board. The guy did nothing notable in his time here or on the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I don't know how any young QB is supposed to step in and look even remotely decent in their first real NFL games. Even the elite draft picks usually look like bums for a while. So I don't know how you determine a guy like Fromm actually stinks until there's a larger sample size.

So a 5th round pick who has been on two different teams already should be given maybe a full season worth of gameday play or even starts to figure out if he is any good? Seems like a huge waste of a roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the practice squad on a team with 4 QBs - and webb ran the scout team for the defense. How much practice do you think he got? Missing training camp for a QB is like a death sentence too. How is he supposed to have any feel for the offense? And I still think he sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
