Jets FO are still fighting to save their jobs, so I could see them doing this.

Interesting viewpoint. While overall the RB position has been devalued, Gurley has brought it back to the forefront somewhat. When judging by NFL salaries , after QB it seems to be pass rushers, then WR, LT and CB as the highest paid. If using salary as an indicator of the value placed on players by NFL teams. I get the WRs as the passing game is where the NFL is at these days, but you still need a guy that excels at keeping your QB upright for the WR to put up numbers.

Didn’t he score crazy high on the wonderlic ? It’s unlikely Allen has trouble understanding the offense. Where is this slow delivery myth coming from for Allen ? He has a quick release and a howitzer arm. Holding onto the ball or waiting to long to pull the trigger isn’t the same thing as a slow delivery.

Most important players: 1. Elite QB 2. Elite pass rusher 2 a. Elite pass protector * Note : obtain 2 and 2a by any means and in any order possible. Draft, FA, trade whatever.

What if Ryan Groy is an All Pro Center ? Chances are in the same ballpark.

Precisely my point. Allen won’t start because he’s “ more ready” than Peterman . Whenever that start is.

Is Darnold somehow more “ ready “ to start than McClown ? Obviously , he’s not.

It will not ruin Allen’s development to start him. It may send him to the ICU though. Look, McCoachspeak said Nate Peterman was ready to start vs LAC last season because of how he looked in practice blah blah blah. Well, he wasn’t. It did not however, ruin him. When Allen eventually does start this season, he will not be more prepared to do so than Peterman. It will simply be time to carry on with the “ process” or whatever.

It’s hard to imagine the opening day starter playing at all in tomorrow’s game.

It’s a forgotten fact thatJim Kelly took a ton of punishment, especially in his early career. Kelly was sacked a whopping 153 times in his first 3 seasons ( USFL and NFL) alone.

I agree with this mostly, although I liked Mayfield. Anyway, the Bills weren’t getting to 3 or higher in all likelihood. If Allen doesn’t pan out in three years, they’ll draft another guy. That’s the beauty of the rookie cap.

Perhaps if Peterman had more physical gifts, he’d be a poor mans Jimmy Garropolo. He doesn’t.

Yeah, Tyrod was tentative and terrible. But I’m not sure about giving NP so much credit. It was fourth quarter mop up duty vs prevent in an embarrassing blowout. Plenty of guys have put up nice looking numbers in that circumstance.

It’s asinine to think the Bills FO and coaches don’t think about the injury potential behind this Oline and what it could mean for their plan. If this were last years line brought back intact, Allen would be starting. There’s little to no upside to starting any other QB currently on the roster.

Under. I’d say he starts anywhere from 6 to 10.

Nate Peterman wouldn’t fetch a bag of sweaty jockstraps in a trade.

Understandable take. I believe if the OL looked solid, Allen would have had his moments vs CIN and would likely be starting opening day over what else they have at QB.

I thought he was pretty good when he played previously. Looked decent in preseason this year. He’s a QB coming back from an injury that showed promise before it. By all accounts a great guy too. It was obvious he’d get another shot somewhere other than NY and they got a pretty good asset in return. He was a commodity once they drafted Darnold.

Exactly. Ready to start isn’t close to a finished product. If the line were better, it would be a different decision as Peterman isn’t a seasoned vet and McCarron hasn’t impressed.

I recall Jordan Palmer stating that all QBs would benefit by not playing their rookie year. I believe it was at the USC pro day. Anyway, he’s likely not talking so much about improvement that you’d get playing in games. Rather, being better prepared to perform when they do get their first game action.

Makes sense as the guy still has potential. Brees is nearing the end,

Of course they feel Allen will develop or they wouldn’t have drafted him. The O line is worse than they probably thought it would be. That’s a problem. Allen on IR sends the process off the tracks.

He needs to fight for Jesus !

Can’t there be development and trying to win ? Coaches and players try to win every game. It’s in their DNA.
