Today is the day, NFL fans. It’s finally the first day of the 2022 NFL Draft. And even better, the Buffalo Bills have a selection tonight, to add to their potentially Super Bowl-contending roster. Will the Bills’ selection make fans as mad as the Josh Allen selection made them on the night of the draft?
There are always moments where hindsight reminds NFL fans that hindsight is always 20/20.
Twitter reacted poorly to the Buffalo Bills selecting Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL Draft
That’s especially true with the Josh Allen selection back in the 2018 NFL Draft, pick No. 7.
Selecting a quarterback from the University of Wyoming with the seventh pick in the 2018 NFL Draft named Josh Allen wasn’t– at the time– seen as the best of moves.
That being said, it’d be shocking if any Buffalo Bills fans or coaches would look back on the selection as anything but monumental.
Funny enough, the Buffalo Bills’ social media team ran with this, and they had Allen read some of the mean tweets from when the Bills posted to their Twitter that the quarterback of their future was Josh Allen from Wyoming.
We kept the receipts and @JoshAllenQB would like a word. 😏#GoBills | #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/B7gIuu2tro

And some replies that Allen are just some of those takes that you look back on and wonder, “Yikes!”
One of my personal favorites was: “Wrong josh!”
Hopefully, this Twitter user let hindsight correct their knee-jerk reaction, as Josh Rosen– the player whom this Twitter user seems to be insinuating the Bills should’ve drafted– hasn’t made the same impact in the NFL as Josh Allen has. Their draft selection could’ve been much worse if they listened to @JJDann.
At the end of the day, with or without those replies on their draft tweet, Josh Allen is the future of the Buffalo Bills. There were some growing pains, but now that the dust has settled, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are an unseparable force.
Now, the only thing keeping his name from being the top quarterback in the league is Super Bowl wins. If Josh Allen can go out and get a ring or two, Buffalo Bills fans won’t have much to complain about with Brandon Beane selecting the big-arm quarterback from the University of Wyoming.
