"You disgust me. Rosen available at 5 and we trade down for Allen?" Damn tough break
The Allen stuff was legit at the time the wide concensus was that he was talented but super raw and had bad fundamentals and taking him that early was seen as a mistake. Obviously Josh Allen proved the doubters wrong very very wrong but that wasn't a hot take at the time.
Yeah that comment from a Broncos fan made me chuckle lol
I mean even if we got him, we would not have been able to develop him. We were a fucking dumpster fire haha. He at least got patience with the Bills.
They were still traumatized from Paxton Lynch so not wanting Josh Allen at the time was understandable.
I’m a Wyoming fan and I followed this draft super close. No fan base was as opposed to drafting Josh Allen as the Broncos were. They wouldn’t even consider it. It was interesting
I mean can you really blame us? We tried the “tall white qb with a cannon and bad accuracy who can run” 2 years prior. Also, I’m not sure he gets the time or development he needed to turn into a star if he was drafted by us
It’s funny too because after Allen popped off, the narrative was “I can’t believe Elway was so stupid to not draft Josh Allen.” As if 95% of our fan base wasn’t super adverse to drafting him
Perfect username for this discussion
I guarantee you he wouldn’t have. He would’ve looked worse in his first year or two than he did anyway and we would’ve lost our minds over it.
