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?

No, the guy we traded up to #7 for is our Franchise QB, something that Nate Peterman isn't and will never be. You're full of nothing but hot air. You're going to change usernames before you start supporting Allen, who has clearly already made great strides from college to the draft process to OTAs to Minicamp to Training Camp to Preseason, you're just too foolish to notice. The coaching staff of McDermott and Dabol clearly also feel the same considering Allen wasn't legitimately thought to be part of this QB competition until a week or 2 ago, but now for the first time during the preseason we know who our QB is going into the next game... at the beginning of the week... ...for the dress rehearsal for the season opener. If this isn't obvious to you yet SaviorPete... I mean, BurpleBu... I mean BullBuchanon... you should just change your username, get rid of all your old ones, and start fresh.

You don't care about Josh Allen... the Franchise QB your favorite team? Then you must have been a fan of Peterman at Pitt in college and just naturally rolled your fandom to the Bills in the NFL. I'm going to assume this is the case and at least go from zero respect for you to some respect. So, you stick with your guy even if he's the backup

I think McDermott has essentially given him the keys already without officially saying it.

https://www.buffalobills.com/news/josh-allen-named-starter-for-bills-third-preseason-game Josh Allen named starter for Bills third preseason game Which means Allen is the regular season starter without actually saying it. OP... you have moderator powers for this thread... feel free to shut it down to avoid further embarrassment.

Hmmmmm…. so now Allen's been officially named the starter for our dress rehearsal preseason game after going into the previous 2 games announcing the starter last minute...

The longer he takes to name his starting QB week 1, the longer the Ravens have to split time preparing for 2 very different QBs. Not annoying. Smart.

This is actually a pretty big shift

They're close

Bob Dylan said it best... "The times they are a chaaaaaaanngiiiinnnn"

Drinking in the morning again?

Peterman because he's so obviously not an NFL starting QB. Plus, our D thrives off turnovers and Peterman is a turnover machine since he lacks an NFL arm. I seriously am so annoyed there are people who are such insane trolls or blind homers that they legitimately think Nate Peterman is an NFL starting QB. He's awful. I'm fine with him as a backup QB, though. Backup QBs are pretty universally awful NFL starters.

It's pretty obvious to anyone other than SaviorPeterman/BurpleBull/BullBuchanon (all clearly the same poster) that Allen is starting week 1... I've been saying it since OTAs, actually. But I think McDermott is going to withhold it publicly as long as possible to try to get some upper hand on Baltimore. Remember... practices are now basically closed to the media. No need to name the starter as long as McDermott is giving reps to Allen in practice.

BurpleBull and BullBuchanon, too... but all 3 are probably just the same poster... So good point!

Here's an interesting (and accurate...?) theory that Sal Capaccio actually found...

He did but I don't know if that was planned or because of McCarron's injury. When he's the starter next Sunday in game 3, that'll be different.

Yeah all the interviews today were indicators the competition is ongoing... not finished despite some wacky theories that Friday's game cemented Peterman as the starter already. They're likely to "rotate" as the media is there, but since all practices and 11 on 11s are now closed to the media, I also think McDermott might be using that to his advantage as far as the element of surprise for week 1. I bet Allen gets his first team reps for the first time next Sunday. I'll be curious if McDermott holds out in naming the starter beyond that.

Window into my reality, huh? What reality do you think that is? I bet you're wrong. The rest of that post makes no sense... so that means you're entire post makes no sense... Good talk, breh (hint, hint... )

Adequate? I won't even quibble with whether I agree or disagree about the other stuff--or the very use of the phrase "I seen" in any context-- but implying adequate is anything we'd be fine with at QB after pushing at-least-adequate out the door in the offseason in order to upgrade on at-least-adequate is very strange logic.
