Didn’t we beat up on a dude that absolutely loved Josh Allen? Think he may have gotten banned. Apology goes out to that guy. That’s our bad.
Wasn't @sportscoach one of the Josh Allen fans? There was also a Wyoming fan that liked him obviously.
Thing is...you don't have to be Miss Cleo to conclude that Josh Allen would have been a catastrophic bust had he been drafted here. He was far too unpolished and had far too many things to work on to overcome the organizational chaos here. Hell, he only took the leap this season, his 3rd year, with an ideal, stable setup for him in Buffalo. No chance he would have been given a fair shake here.
It sounds lame, but in retrospect I truly believe Baker Mayfield was the only choice for us with the state of the organization at the time. He had the mental fortitude and the (borderline brash) confidence to overcome this shit show. I doubt that's why Dorsey drafted him, but in hindsight that's why he's been able to survive here IMO.
100% chance Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson would have been wasted here. And Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen would have likely had the same lack of success here that they have seen on their respective trash organizations. Baker was the only answer even if I didn't realize it at the time.
