It is a tough call. I like what Peterman does but he won't get away with being one dimensional. If that's the entirety of his game then it could spell some trouble for him, like you said it will be planned for. You may get some nice drives and some ugly interceptions. AJ being the vet will know when to toss it away to live another day. Only if he isn't given the time often I think it could spell trouble for him. I only give Peterman the edge because he didn't use the running game. AJ took a sack but Peterman did throw an interception. If they go with Petermans quick passing attack then they need to precondition WRs to bat the ball down instead of tipping a poorly placed ball into the air to defenders. Like instead of that WR tipping it trying to make a play he could of slapped it down. If you can't make the play at least don't set it up so the other team can sheesh. AJ probably won't be dangerously misplacing those balls but he's going to be running for his life if he can't fire em off sometimes to show the threat of it. He can't be one dimensional either. If they go with AJ they will need the line to hold up better. AJ did throw bombs but only one made it to a wide wide wide open Wr. The other two over thrown, so I'm not convinced yet that he can consistently push down field, only that he would try. A 60 yard bomb is great but if it's over thrown more then not I'm not sure it's that enticing. Anyway if AJ is using running plays on a night they seem to want it to be done exclusively through the air is kind of a tell. That's what I see but obviously the coaches see what they see. The wrs might not been fast enough to catch up to those deep balls. The evaluation could be different then mine, probably is lol.

You called it May 21st when you posted this topic. I'll be honest I never counted him out, but I never counted him in either. I was always on the fence. I can't give you credit for calling it May 21st yet you understand but I'll be back on this thread when it happens. I just keep going back to rewatch the highlights. Then I don't watch Peterman, just the line. It doesn't look dominant as the narrative. The one time Peterman couldn't fire quick he had to scramble to the outside to hit Kelvin Benjamin. I definitely could see the line being pushed back more then once but the ball is gone before it matters. 3 games left until you look like some sort of football medium.

I agree. I also don't think Peterman had a wall in front of him. If he wasn't dropping back and firing the O-Line in places would have collapsed and he would of been sacked. Peterman is the starter next season as of right now. You are absolutely correct. I hope our boy can pump fake though. I don't see these grandiose pockets with Peterman sitting back enjoying all the time in the world. I think people over estimate the O-Line and not understand that Petermans quick passes made them look like they could hold up. Allen has the best arm but Peterman smokes them all when it comes to dropping back and firing immediately. Nobody does that but Peterman. As much as people want it, Allen isn't starting this season. That game was just to get his feet wet. Next game AJ will prove behind the starting line why it has to be Peterman. That O-Line won't hold up for anything but the quick passing. Mark my words bro. Your not going to see AJ deep bombing to a receiver that wide open often. The other two bombs we're over thrown and actually being covered. I wasn't as impressed. I laugh when they praise AJs deep ball. It was one out of three and his WR was wide open. The guy has an almost perfect game and crickets as far as fans go. They cheer the 60 yard incompletion by Allen. I'm not saying AJ isn't good competition but based on that game AJ had to lean on the running game. Peterman was entirely through the freaking air. Allen was good. If he can't move the scrubs vs scrubs game he isn't going to be franchise. Its a strawman to prop up a rookie. I love Josh Allen as a draft pick. His time will come.

I didn't find myself frustrated by it. Allen played with and against lesser talent. Sure the Panthers depth could be better, I won't argue against it, but I still don't see it as very unfair. This was thier scrubs vs our scrubs with our draft pick QB inserted to see how he handles it. If Allen can't handle it, he won't ever be franchise. The reason we didn't pick Rosen I'm thinking is for that reason. Allen won't get a big ego and think he deserves more than he has earned. I think it was a fine way insert Allen and get his feet wet. I think all 3 QBs started the first preseason game in the order the HC had them ranked. That is just my personal opinion. They all showcased well and McDermott said it's a good thing and makes his job harder. It was frustrating and yet exhilarating to see Allen make it work. Allen did face the most pressure, but all 3 QBs did face pressure. Nate avoided his one serious pressure and AJM ate his with a sack. I think Nate Peterman was dropping back and firing. The O-Line didn't have to block as long in my honest opinion. We will see if it looks that good when the QBs are in different order next game. Right now people are overestimating the starting O-Line and underestimating Peterman. I see pressure in his series and if a lot of those passes didn't get off as fast well.... You will appreciate next game when it's more visible.

4) A source threw out a fake lead as a test. I've considered it. It was a swing and miss. Honestly it was good entertainment until the preseason game. It was a nice distraction. So I'm not bothered by it.

McDermott broke a 17 year drought in one year.

Trading Benjamin would upset me personally.

I hope he has a permit for that fire arm.

I was actually very satisfied with the game. I think all the QB made more plays than mistakes. It was nice to actually see them all have drives for TDs. I seen different styles of QB play that all seemed to be working. At this point I'm good with any of them. I have no favorite. At least for a preseason game the offence looked good in the hands of Dabol and all the QBs. I was blown away honestly. I was roaring like it was the real deal and I hope it is. The fact we are debating over who is the best QB out of 3 that all had good games is a good sign. It's kinda funny we debating this and not in celebration of it. Coming off last season I wouldn't have predicted so much rythm out there. Not at the capacity I actually got it. I feel spoiled.

I can't argue that. Still some preseason games to be played. I would like to see them all get a start in preseason.

I just rewatched every throw. Ok that first sack AJ takes Peterman does not. Peterman has the ball gone. Peterman also made plays under pressure. AJ over threw long twice. The one deep bomb his man was wiiiideeee open. Plus AJs touchdown is off a run. Petermans is pure passing touchdown even after it was brought back. Im leaning towards Peterman. AJ takes his sack while Peterman scrambles to the outside and utilizes Kelvin Benjamin size to make a sideline completion. I agree, when the radio said through the hands I assumed it wasn't on Peterman. After watching the highlights I agree, terribly placed ball. Still could of batted the ball down instead of tipping it to a defender but that doesn't excuse it. I also agree his passes could use more power. I think defenders will jump his routes in anticipation. Peterman will have to master the pump fake.

Peterman went 9-for-10 for 119 yards and a touchdown . McCarron went 7-for-10 for 116 yards in the second quarter and a touchdown. I don't see a big separation between the two. Peterman got 2 more completions and 3 more yards.

As long as he remembers to pump fake he probably will be alright.

I was just happy seeing each of the QBs putting in work and scoring a touchdown. I was glad they were focused on the air attack because it's an area that needs improvement. I have more confidence now in Dabol and this season now.

No one predicted Peterman would be nearly flawless. It's just because he was now all his detractors have to double down like I knew he could do some things but but but.... I liked Peterman and wouldn't have predicted he lands every pass but one. People can never just say maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought. In the same breath all the credit they should give Peterman gets thrown at Allen. The fans cheered a 60 yard incompletion. They might be hyped about a first round draft pick. Oh his WRs quit on plays but Peterman was shy on the interception that was through the guys hands. Obviously it's not really easy to say see I told you so about Peterman right now is it? Funny I see people saying it's only preseason one game! Kinda like I was saying the Chargers game was just one game and he was a rookie thrown in on a joke of an offence. I want the offense to move the chains. I'm not particular on how it gets don't or how many reads a QB needs to get it done. If Peterman is landing his first reads why make the second or third.

Nathan Peterman lit it up. Take it for what it's worth. Even as a guy that kinda liked Peterman I wasn't expecting him to be nearly flawless through the air.

Or maybe not.

I wouldn't know, does Peterman ever take that long to throw the ball?

I was happy to see the offence moving the ball with all 3 QBs. That is something I've needed to see since the 3 point playoff game. I thoroughly enjoyed this preseason game. I'm not hitching my wagon to it but it definitely makes me feel a lot more confident in Daboll and the season ahead. So I'm not in this debate. They are moving Allen along at a pace I agree with.

That was all I needed. Great preseason game.

He still didn't have the stones to flat out say it. Just doing a cute little dance around it.

You got something to say just say it. If not then this was a waste of an OP.

I tend to ignore one liners with no context.

Did he do better than you expected? Sure it's preseason but before he took the field what did you expect? I'd almost bet Peterman did better then most expected even those who stuck up for him.
