Well there has to be a winner right? Peterman was not amazing he just won the battle against an average back up and a rookie. That is not saying much. If we cut him I dont think we would have teams racing to sign him.

I was not high on AJM either. I think it depends on how close you think the team is. If they can compete then you get them a QB that can get the job done. And no way they really believe that is Peterman or they would not have gotten AJM and Allen. So going with him feels a bit like folding on the season but obviously hoping for the best. But its not making a strong play. They had cash and cap room, they wasted cash and cap room on some random moves like Coleman, etc. So I think they should have done more at the QB position.

Could be the case. I am fine Allen not being ready. I just dont agree with Peterman being the guy you go with. I think psychology can play a role in peoples decisions, especially those with big egos. In my mind there are and were so many better options than Peterman even if Allen is not the guy.

The Bills took some slack around the league last year starting Peterman over Tyrod. Then it completely blew up in their face when Peterman failed in historic magnitude. Luckily the Bills made the playoffs because if they had barely missed I think it would have been talked about over and over how the coach failed the team with that decision. Fast forward a year and I cant help but think McD doesn't still fume over this. That his ego is still hurt and wants redemption. If Peterman can be even ok then McD can turn the page on his terrible decision last year. Does this cloud his judgement and push the Peterman as the starter? I still cannot fathom how this team goes into the season with him as the starter. Its not like he was a high pick that you dont want to give up on. We are talking about a marginal guy that has shown he is average at best, limited upside and has minimal value as a mentor to a young QB. Makes no sense. If we are going with the average guy why not bring in a vet that can mentor Allen until he is ready. Starting Peterman is a waste of time. Yes maybe he plays great and increases his trade value but that is a longshot. Might as well roll the dice on a former early pick if that is the game.

I hope Allen has a higher football IQ than Peterman.

Not for a guy like him though. Just dont see it. He was gone if AJM showed anything.

I agree its lame. Guess I am being sarcastic in that I would prefer to see NP throw 5 picks than watch us lose 21-3 every week with him going 15-25 for 175 yds.

It is sad. I am really disappointed to see NP as the starting QB. I feel let down by this FO to go from a playoff team to one with NP that is a consensus worst team in the league. I would rather have had another year of Tyrod and a chance to compete while turning the reigns over to Allen. Just my opinion.

Sadly I am kind of rooting for Peterman to throw a bunch of picks in the opener. Just for the story line and speed up the process of Allen getting in there. I would not feel that way if I felt this team had a shot. But Peterman is probably the worst QB in a long list I have seen the Bills put out there.

They know nothing and always pick us to be bad. They have done it for like 18 straight years and never get it right. Wait, we made the playoffs only once during that time? Ummmm

Who we picking at #1?

You didnt watch the Disney movie? He is a 40 year old rookie.

Josh McCown has played like 100 seasons...

Where does this season rank in terms of excitement? What players are you excited to see? For me what started off as high, whether it is seeing Allen as the QB or what AJM can do, is now pretty low. I still think the team could surprise and wind up 7-9 or 808 just based on parity in the NFL. But there is not much "wow" factor on this team. Peterman is the least talented and exciting QB starting in the NFL. McCoy is only getting older and playing with a worse OL. Our WR's are awful and have no one that has star power. On Defense I am hopeful they look better than in preseason. But they are not going to be feared if they cant get to the QB. The DB's look worse. LB's look worse. Just hard to get excited about the D. Even in bad years there is usually something to look forward to. Just not seeing it this year. Except maybe waiting for Allen to take the field.

You can carry three QB's. Webb has much more upside than Peterman in my eyes.

Still ahead of Peterman. If your gonna use this guys analysis. So why not make the swap. He also has P Lynch ahead of Prescott and Wentz.

I drop a TE and add Webb. Even if only for a few weeks. Better than AJM and NP. in my opinion.

Go get him.

No one is scared of Peterman or our WR's. Dont count on this.

Crack is whack. Just say NO.

Bills gonna keep two punters...

Was not saying you - more the general mindset on the board. Especially when people talk about Tyrod.

Maybe it says more about coaching...

Funny how that is made out to be such a negative thing. Guess 17 years of no playoffs is better. You need to build a winning culture. That starts with winning.

So many said AJM is better than Tyrod. Sorry for bringing it up.
