I think we've seen that's who Josh is. Especially early on it was blatantly obvious.
Side note: Remember Josh's first pass from scrimmage as a Bill? - play action bomb down the left sideline. Caught, just a yard out of bounds.
It's been a wild ride, trying to reign in all that ability ever since.
:40 seconds in. Most electrifying preseason incompletion ever:

I know I did.
Well minus the throwing it out of bounds, part. Reminiscent of JP throwing a bomb out of the back of the endzone against the Steelers, to an open receiver.
It was play action, too. That really sold it. Then launched it effortlessly into the stratosphere. Josh did lead the league in yards off of play action, for a time too. If I remember right. Just a crazy talent and I was hooked.
BTW Chet, I'm curious on why you think my reasonable observation are like "selling timeshares"???
Seriously.
It's rather obvious that the Bills made these picks because that would be in the best interests of the team. Of course, you have already let it be known that you believe the team should be gutted, only keeping Josh Allen and Diggs (THAT ship has sailed thankfully...the Bills sure ignored you silly advice) and any player on a rookie contract and the coaching staff should all be fired.
To quicken that insanely stupid plan, you said you literally were "rooting for them to lose" their last TWELVE GAMES of 2023. And insufferably gloating because you thought that was "smart".
Well...no, it was not "smart". In fact it was one of the stupidest posts of the year.
So, it's obvious you are rooting for the Bills to FAIL, and you are accusing me, and by extension, the Bills organization akin to "selling timeshares". Unbelievably, you may have topped yourself in stupid posts as this one is even stupider that the "rooting" for them to lose.
I guess you think that YOU, or all people, know better than the years long effort by a large group of professional football people which goes into the deep dive into evaluating prospects for each draft.
The Athletic published a very interesting (Part 1) "behind the scene" look at what a NFL team (in this instance the LA Rams) of "One year...of the NFL Draft scouting process"...detailing what a staff of about TWENTY FIVE professionals go though in evaluation talent in their full time jobs.
I'm curious, how many of the few things they mentioned (in part 1) that you have personally done???
-received, hours after the 2023 draft ended, a long list of prospects are distributed to the scouts...that began the...
-"....months spent by scouts on research, evaluation, discussions and debates" about these prospects.
-a multitude of school visits
-multitude of internal meetings of these evaluators sharing their findings
-months and months on the road scouting hundreds of prospects first hand
-each scout has an "area" of the country "who build profiles and evaluations of the players over multiple years...at games, practices and pro days"
-about 200 prospects are "cross checked" where other scouts supplement each other scouts work
-building years long relationships with college coaches
-countless hours in film rooms
How many colleges have you visited....college players have you personally met....been at their work outs....talked to their coaches....talked to their strength coaches....talked to their teammates...talked to their acquaintances....talked to their families...conduct background checks....????
And on and on and on.
It's easy to sit back on your couch, and gripe and ***** and moan like a grumpy blowhard who thinks he knows so much, but in reality, know a LOT LESS than he thinks he does.
There are not 3 picks that I like.
The center was the best. The safety can be ok. Coleman is the new James Hardy, until he isn't. The rest seem like special teams players.
