There have to be questions about why the price is so low
I would usually guess salary cap, even on his rookie contract Coleman is overpaid for what he's actually done on the field. But the Browns don't need a lot of salary cap for 2 or 3 years so I think they're just trying to let their other receivers have a shot. Their 4th round pick Antonio Calloway has looked good.

I'm more meh on the trade than others are but I can't complain for a 7th in 2020. Browns fans on Twitter mostly hate the trade and think he was putting together a good training camp this year. The big question with Coleman is can he stay healthy?
-
I guess he only had a 42% catch rate last year, not good.
-
Thank god. We needed some speed on the team and I don't have much hope in Foster.

Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold were not treated in this fashion by their head coaches.
There's a whole lot of wrong in that weird rant you posted, but this part is the most wrong. Every rookie QB this year is starting as 2nd or 3rd string. Allen actually has the best shot of them all to start week 1. Don't blame McDermott for a Bleacher Report writer's ignorance.

I dont understand the hype around Mahomes at all.
-
Josh Allen is on fire right now
-
-
A general theme I'm noticing is that Allen throws great seam and corner routes. If he can manage his short throws he'll have a really good arsenal.

We expect Mahomes to throw some INTS...he'll take chances that Alex Smith simply will not. He'll rely on his arm and make throws at times that he shouldn't make. That's fine...that's part of the deal.

Definitely no biases showing here

You guys do realize that training camp really doesn't matter on a career right?
I've heard this about enough Bills QBs over the last 20 years to know that it isn't true. Looking good in training camp doesn't necessarily mean anything but looking bad is not a good sign.

he's an above average receiver
Are we talking about the same Jordan Matthews?

So roughly 1 int per practice. Why is this a news story? If he's thrown basically 1 INT per practice and has had about 50 + throws a day, I'm not sure why it is even a report. Unless he just looks completely lost and is throwing INT's. I doubt that's what's happening.
From the article:
"Six of the picks have come during the three practice sessions in pads, when play is most competitive."

I'm especially encouraged by this:
QuoteAs for Allen, he salvaged the two-minute drill on his first play with an incredible throw down the left sideline to Cam Phillips that hit a tight window between two defenders -- a total zone-busting throw, and it went for 26 yards. Allen's next two plays were both throwaways when he saw he didn't have anyone, but on 3rd-and-10, he had Ray-Ray McCloud on a slant pattern that he made in stride, but the rookie dropped it over the middle of the field.
Allen threw a 26 yard strike that no other QB on the team could hope to make. Then apparently correctly threw the ball away on 2 consecutive plays. Then hit a WR in stride on a slant that could have been a 3rd down conversion if it wasn't dopped. This is just day 6 of his first ever training camp. It's hard to not be excited with where he's at this early in the process. Sounds to me like he's getting better every practice and always making at least a couple throws per practice that Peterman and McCarron don't have the natural ability to do.

Wish I could find the old thread where people were freaking out that Matthews would tear us up with Brady throwing him the ball.

It's between McCarron and Allen for the starting QB job.
This thread has reached such bizarre lows.
If this were true, Peterman wouldn't still be getting 1st team reps. McDermott doesn't waste time. If Peterman were definitively out of contention he would be relegated to the 2nd and 3rd string for the remainder of camp.

"Oh, and as for the short passes, the Bills are saying that he threw very few if any of those in college and it's almost a new skill for him."
Allen said this himself on WGR the other day - he said it's like learning to chip in a golf ball from 10 yds out with a 4 iron.
Yeah he knows he has to work on it:
Quote
“I’m very confident with my arm and my ability to makes throws. The type of throws where I struggle are kind of the underneath patterns where I’ve got to tone down my arm a little bit. And sometimes, you know I hate to use an analogy, but it’s like I’m 100 yards out and I have a 4-iron. So I’m just trying to develop more clubs to put it on the green.”
Allen, 22, said he stays after practice – as he did Sunday – or comes out onto the practice field as much as 30 minutes early to “just throw those routes.”
“We’re getting to where we want to get,” he said. “Still, it’s going to take some time. And I’m not putting any pressure on myself right now."
“Well, it’s like – I’m going to use another golf analogy,” Allen said. “When you slow down your swing, that’s when things tend to go wrong. So it’s about finding the right tempo in my arm for the ball to come over the top, get the right spin and ultimately hit the target in the right spot.
“So I just can’t slow my arm down. And sometimes I think I need to. But I don’t need to. I just need to control it at the top a little better. That’s what we’re (working on).” -

If there is one thing dumber than betting on football, it's betting on pre-season football.
Actually preseason football is arguably easier to bet than the regular season. Some coaches play their real schemes in preseason and some are just testing things. If you know those trends you can make good money.
Bills trade with Browns for Corey Coleman

I thought catch percentage meant catchable balls. If that just means targets his catch percentage is meaningless. Anyone questioning why the Browns gave up a high 3rd for Tyrod Taylor should watch that video.
