24 vs 27??? Okay... Allen is 22 vs 24, and he's already better than the 24 year old who has a year on him in the NFL. Peterman's stats are are a fantastic example of why stats lie. His arm strength hasn't significantly improved, if it's improved at all, over last year. Without an absolutely dominant OL, Peterman will end up just getting eaten alive. He's generally done what he's been asked to do, but he's not being asked to do much at all, whereas level of difficulty for Allen has been higher and he's been successful.

Ah, my mistake. It's a thread about Peterman so that's the reason for that misread... and a misread it was. Nonetheless, the fact that Peterman simply can't make all the NFL throws is exactly why I think he's a backup.

You're delusional. Peterman's 1st pass last night cemented the very fact that Peterman can NOT make all the NFL throws against NFL defenders.

We're going to start the guy we need to get ready for week 1... Allen... been sayin it since OTAs

Mayfield was my #1 choice in the draft. That said, I'm glad we didn't get him. He might develop into being great but I think people who wanted Taylor gone are looking for validation and will grasp at just about anything they can for it. The problem is Mayfield's performance last night looked like the same fool's gold performance Peterman's was. Both guys starting out Not Good or Awful and then starting to play well when all the guys who aren't going to be playing in the NFL came out onto the field. Mayfield will probably develop and become a Franchise QB (unlike Peterman), but it already looks like Allen is pretty well ahead of him. Is Mayfield ahead of Taylor? Is this question coming up because of what Taylor did against our 1st string Defense alone last night and what Mayfield did against our 3rd and 4th string Defense? I'm guessing that's the case. It's a strange case to make. I've been pretty disappointed in Mayfield actually, but it could be because I legitimately had high expectations and thought he'd be the best of the bunch. Regardless, he hasn't looked like the #1 overall pick or even a surefire 1st round QB to me so far. So happy Allen fell to 7 right now

Well... he outperformed him yesterday and although Peterman played well against Carolina, he wasn't challenging the D in the way Allen was. And by the way, shouldn't this criteria be the same in reverse? Peterman hasn't been consistently outperforming anyone in camp... Why do you want to give him a free lunch? Is it a bagged lunch you're used to packing him? Was I mistaken earlier... you're his Mom, not his wife?

Prediction: Nate Peterman will be Bills Backup QB week 1 vs Ravens

Holy crap... I didn't realize this was going to deteriorate into the realm of Infowars vs. CNN. I'm just excited about Allen and, living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, get very very little Bills coverage out here so it bodes well for my viewing habits personally for Allen to start getting this national buzz. But it's not just media, respected film guys, too

So... troll...??? Blind homer...? I'm having such a hard time figuring it out. I just wonder if you're even going to cheer for Allen when he's the starting QB this year.

And you are evidently Nate Peterman's wife. You called Peterman's performance "near perfect" and that is factually incorrect to the point of being laughable. His first 2 drives he looked absolutely lost the entire time--all 6 plays since it was 2 straight 3 & outs. 1st pass shoulda been yet another pick. Next play sacked. 3 & out Next pass was simply a badly inaccurate pass. Next play he tries passing the ball 2 yards past the LOS as he's running towards the sidelines. Next play he believes he's some uber athletic QB and ends up scrambling on a 3rd and 13. That's how he started. No matter what follows that, anyone who calls his play "near perfect" after a start like that is either a blind homer or a troll.

Evidently you missed his 1st 2 drives (that 1st pass alone was a doozy... typically Peterman though) and weren't paying attention to the busted coverages he was a beneficiary of when he was playing against scrubs.

Eh, they're just saying what most Bills fans watching the team closely since OTAs have been thinking... they're just a little late to the party... along with a select handful of Bills fans

Nope. They don't always... for sure. That doesn't mean they're wrong. And it is, notably, such an overwhelming response, though... with some pretty well respected "film guys" (Miller & Prisco) thrown in there, as well. With his very first throw tonight Peterman convinced me he's either out of the starting job already or will be yanked absolutely no later than mid-season. Dude's clearly not an NFL starting QB.

God, that describes him perfectly... incredible how the Peterman nuts are still clinging.

It's been an ongoing poll since OTAs. People are free to change their votes, but personally I think even without McCarron's injury tonight, he wasn't starting.

Oh wow... I legitimately thought that game would have turned the corner for you, but you're just clinging for dear life, aren't you? Peterman's very 1st pass tonight is exactly the reason he's going to spend the vast majority, if not all, of this year on the bench. And even after that throw Peterman was still awful for a drive or two... he was close to fumbling getting hit from behind a few times there. His stat line looks good courtesy of a massively busted coverage. What he showed to me tonight is that the narrative that his arm strength is improved significantly enough to make a difference is a false narrative. Allen will start this year. If not in week 1, it's going to be at some point probably in the first half of the season after Peterman collapses, which very well could be in Baltimore, who is probably salivating at the notion of jumping routes and collecting INTs from him to start off their season.

This is you being sarcastic, right?

McCarron with a hairline fracture on his collarbone. Peterman is clearly hurt in the knee(s) at the end of that game. Allen is going to start, but who do we get to back him up?

Man... I think that was a pretty good call by me Does anyone seriously think Allen isn't the frontrunner after tonight?

And Peterman blows against the 3s. Start Allen.
