Brennan Huff Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I have so many of his rookie cards it’s not even funny. I was really hoping that he’d do something in NY. Whoops Quote
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 On 3/16/2022 at 3:42 PM, 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. Expand 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
Desert Bills Fan Posted March 16, 2022 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
buffaloaggie Posted March 16, 2022 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. Quote

Simon Says Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 On 3/16/2022 at 2:55 PM, Virgil said: They have Jones and Tyrod now. It could have been purely a financial move. They can draft a 3rd sting QB in the 5th+ round and pay him pennies on the dollar Expand How much money could they save replacing him with a rookie? He was on a rookie contract Quote
Rochesterfan Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 On 3/16/2022 at 2:09 PM, 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 Expand 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

bigK14094 Posted March 16, 2022 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. Quote
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 16, 2022 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

(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. ? Expand 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

Did anyone here see/hear anything about his action in those two games he appeared in? Expand I would rather the Bills sign Jake from State Farm instead. 1 Quote

Whatever. He can be QB 4 again. Not sure how much who your QB 4 is matters, but I'd assume someone who knows the system has some benefit. I'm NOT advocating that he comes in as QB2. No way. Quote

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? Quote
BullBuchanan Posted March 16, 2022 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. Edited March 16, 2022 by BullBuchanan Quote
