RobbRiddick Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I remember seeing him play for Reedley college and thinking "this kid is special, he's going to be a great one in the future". I wish I had some proof of this because I have a feeling no one will believe me 3 14 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I knew he was a gamer. I didn’t expect him to come this far. I am glad that he did. from not being able to get but one college to offer him a scholarship to this is a very nice story 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 From draft night where most of TBD needed to be put on suicide watch to where we are now is simply amazing. We caught lightning in a bottle with Josh. As a survivor of the entire Drought I'm really trying to appreciate this time when the Bills are relevant. We won't have Josh forever, we need to enjoy it while we do. 11 5 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I was on board from day one! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Within 24 hours of drafting him and watching as much as I could about him, I went on here saying he would be good. I will admit when I heard his name called on draft night I was disappointed because I listened to the National narrative. When I did my own research, I quickly changed my tune. He has talent, drive, and showed constant willingness to be coached. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember rubbing the cold ultrasound lube over his Mom's belly when she was pregnant with him and seeing him do things... things I've never seen a fetus do before...

Buffalo Boy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 By the end of year two , I used the term “ Franchise Quarterback “ and caught a decent amount of flak. The point where I actually started to Billieve my own BS: Cowboys Thanksgiving game. When I was sure: The First Dolphin’s game in 2020! Josh put on a throwing clinic!!!! Crazy TD throws to the front of the EZ, to the back of the EZ. He had that throw to Diggs, completely double covered ( hero ball) and Diggs was the only one left standing with the ball. He had the Angry run when he ran over a couple defenders Cam Newton style. MY BOY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It is no secret I hated the draft pick. But I have thought he was ahead of schedule almost ever since he stepped on a fielf for us. The question was where was the ceiling. I am not sure if we have quite seen it yet. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern_Bills Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I had no clue he would be this good obviously, but he was my pick just because of Buffalo's weather and his arm strength. Figured he had the best chance. My 2nd pick was Mason Rudolph, so I'm pretty happy we didn't get to option 2 on my board lol. 1 minute ago, Roy Hobbs said: Browns / Jets / Broncos / Colts want a redo ...

pi2000 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Was unsure about him at the draft. After getting to know him as a person, what he values and what his goals are, I believed he'd develop quickly and improve... but never thought he'd be this good.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 he's lining up to be one of, if not the greatest to wear a bills uniform. the kid bleeds red, white and blue! I recall the "wrong josh" days. I was okay with the pick and was impressed by his size and nature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
