You're 100% comfortable with Peterman as a starter? Yikes!

C'mon now... trying to make a little peaceful compromise here

Something clearly hasn't been impressive enough to the coaches or GM with regards to Peterman because he's not the one who will be getting the 1st string snaps in the dress rehearsal of the preseason AND he didn't get announced as the starter in the week leading up to that game AND unlike Allen, who is this week getting the 1st team reps in practice rather than rotating, Peterman had to rotate... maintaining the guessing game. Your bar was always just too high. Peterman should be a fine backup. We would have been in serious trouble if he was our starting QB week 1. As a sidenote, when do you plan on shutting this thread down?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/1077552002 Josh Allen gets his big chance to win Bills' QB job: Here's what to watch for But the fact that Allen’s opportunity comes in this game is naturally intriguing because as we all know, teams around the NFL treat the third preseason match as the dress rehearsal for the regular season, then use the fourth game to play as many young kids as possible so they can make their final cases to earn a roster spot. This is the game where the starters will play at least the first half, and probably into the third quarter. Allen will have a longer stint with the first-unit offense than McCarron or Peterman had, and it’s clear that McDermott wants to see how Allen handles it all. and If he nails it, don’t be surprised if Allen starts against the Ravens on Sept. 9. If he doesn’t, then it seems likely that Peterman or McCarron will get the nod, which is what many of us expected in the first place after listening to McDermott say on numerous occasions that he didn’t want to rush Allen into a situation he wasn’t ready for. Is he ready, though? Can Allen stick the landing and make a compelling case to win the job this week? Here are three things I’ll be watching. 1. Does Allen command the huddle? 2. Is he making the right decisions? 3. Is he throwing the ball accurately?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theringer.com/platform/amp/nfl/2018/8/23/17772724/josh-allen-buffalo-bills-nfl-preseason-hype Allen hasn’t just been handed the job because, as the no. 7 overall pick, he’s the future of the franchise. The best argument that he should play in Week 1 is that he looks … good? and He has demonstrated some of the exact traits some people (me) doubted, like the poise to avoid a pass rush while keeping his eyes downfield. [Twitter Video clip in article] He so deftly sidesteps Browns defensive end Nate Orchard here (and on every other play Orchard got pressure) that Allen inadvertently made a cameo as Orchard’s white whale in Hard Knocks.

Wily Dog being a wily dog as he engages in in as much misdirection as he possibly can. Truth isn't truth!

Speaking of the Tyrod obsessed... twoandfourteen... contributions to Tyrod threads as his primary aim, future on any Bills message board in question.

Apology accepted transplantbillsfan right ? I am.

Yes... Allen era is here. Why are you so obsessed with talking about Taylor?

I'm a Bills fan first and foremost... always have been. I cheer and root hard and loud for whoever is under center for the Bills. Once they're no longer a Buffalo Bill, I might only passively watch. I haven't watched any of Taylor's preseason snaps outside of the Bills preseason game... unlike the pathetic folks on here I've noticed who like to go into Cleveland Browns preseason game day threads (why the hell do those even exist???) and bash him. The reality is you oughtta head on over to the Browns message boards because your entire persona seems to revolve around Trolling Taylor. What on earth, do you do with yourself now?

Whoever created this (was it you, Teddy?) clearly didn't pay attention to the Bills... when did Taylor throw to a #13 and a #35 in his 40+ games in Buffalo someone clearly had too much time on his/her hands for a guy who's not even on our team anymore.

These were my exact thoughts that day.

I know you say you're not joking, but clearly the title is hyperbolic based on your actual post. And I agree. I think Beane and McDermott always wanted Allen to start this year, which was why he threw in such weak QB competition. If Allen was worse than the 2 BLEH guys we have, the decision is obvious: play the BLEH QBs and work hard to overachieve while also understanding that being bad with said BLEH QB would give us a high draft pick along with an unfettered opportunity to start Allen next year.

Huh?

God I would love it if this were true. I think I'd be able to believe in Santa Claus again in a world where that was true.

My God... that throw against Cleveland was an atrocious decision. Isn't decision making supposedly his greatest asset? Plus, the football still looks like it's flying through molasses when he throws it.

It's 2018 America... clearly we can't agree on that

What would we even give them?

It might be true. If Taylor plays well this year, that narrative gains a lot of credence. One thing's for sure, his OC last year sucked.

Couldn't disagree more. I think we get double digit wins this year and firmly make the playoffs. It's too bad these "experts" only pay attention to a handful of teams like the Patriots, Eagles, Cowboys, etc. McDermott's changed the culture and our 2nd most important acquisition this offseason (next to our hopeful future Franchise QB) is an innovative OC who can adjust to the QB he has running his offense. But it's all right, I like overachieving

You're continuing to do a fantastic job ignoring me

By this you mean it's his last chance to show he wouldn't be able to handle the reins week 1, correct? I just don't think it happens. Seems Josh has already shown his stripes. I'm not saying he'll play flawlessly this weekend or even that he won't make a bonehead mistake here or there. But on the whole, he's likely going to look at least "good enough" to start week 1.

Well, people don't always need to agree, but there are simply facts in play here that have severely diminished the chance that Peterman is the starter. Who knows, maybe Allen gets hurt... the OP is probably hoping for that. You can think Allen suddenly absolutely sucks and is a different QB than he's been so far, but that seems also like the Pop's wishful thinking. It's just pretty unlikely at this point that anyone but Allen starts week 1.

Ignore feature... huh? Yeah... you're doing a bang up job ignoring as you consistently directly quote me. Well, FWIW, I was drinking when I made that post Scotch, not Kool Aid So that might have made the post a bit more belligerently hyperbolic than I intended. I should have emphasized that the stupidity is keeping this thread open at this point. This thread is just dumb at this point.

This is the dumbest thread in history. I really don't understand how anyone has given Peterman this much thought as an NFL starter. He's never going to be an NFL starter. Gunslinger mentality + Weak a$$ NFL arm = No chance to be a viable NFL starting QB Honestly even last year when he was also a preseason hero I said his arm was too weak to be an NFL starting QB. And then the Chargers half happened. Please stop this nonsense. Keep him as a backup. He's fine riding the pine... I think the Bills thought Allen would be fine as a starting QB the moment they drafted him considering the weak competition he was going against. How has the OP not shut this down?
