Josh Allen Interception....

[Poke in New England]

Broncos fans don’t have to admit it was a huge mistake not taking Josh. John Elway himself admitted it was his biggest regret as a GM not drafting him.

I'm aware and I credit him for at least owning up to it. Their fans on the other hand are still living in a fantasy world.

That would’ve been a disaster for him. They would’ve never given him the time to become what he is today. Look at how many qb’s (and coaches) they churned through in that period. Bills are a great fit, but the ownership is not serious, and the GM seems to be too damn proud to fix his glaring team deficiencies. Josh may need to take a pay cut (like Brady did) to get the right final pieces in place.

I’ve never bought into that narrative. Pretty disingenuous to
Josh and his talents. And Josh fixed himself by seeking out the best private coaching (Carson Palmer’s brother); it had little to do with Buffalo helping/coaching him up. Was there a much worse situation than freaking Buffalo? Come on

Absolute silliness. He would have at least 1 superbowl trophy already if he was in Denver. And the Bills are far from a great fit. How many pro bowl receivers or tight ends has he had to throw to? Zero. And the Buffalo defense is terrible again this year. Never has that Buffalo defense stepped up in the playoffs to protect a Buffalo lead or make a big stop.
If JA was in Denver, he would playing for one of the 5 best head coaches in the league and have one of the top 3 defenses in the NFL. In Buffalo, he has a bunch of serviceable receivers and one good running back who frequently fumbles.

For the official record, I am not in any way trying to argue Josh would be out of the league or something had he been drafted by Denver. Far from it, I just think they wouldn’t have allocated the time that the Bills did. They were committed to making him their guy come hell or high water and the Broncos would’ve moved on mid-season (like they did with so many). I have no doubt that Josh would have at least 1 or 2 Super Bowl appearances/wins on a better team than the Bills or the Broncos. In my opinion, he could be on pace to pass Brady if he was in SF for example. Broncos are getting serious with their new ownership, Bills are not. But even with no help from the Bills front office Josh is still a real SB contender, just has to be all on him to make it happen.
