    Not necessarily.  He had to have promised Daboll a certain degree of autonomy over the offense to get him to buy in and take the job.

    I thought from Daboll's post-game presser, reading between the lines, he'd seen what he needed to see from Allen and wanted to go forward with him.

     

    It could have been a combo of Daboll, Beane, and feedback from the team leadership council.

    Yeah maybe Daboll did open his up saying that McDermot had addressed the QB spot so he wasn't going to talk about it.

    If Allen doesn't end up being good, we'll likely be in striking distance for a QB again a few times during his tenure here.  We need to use every available pick we have to build around Allen, not to prepare for him being no good.  That's absurd

    Plus if you build around Allen and he ends up not being the guy the next kid you pick has a nicer place to land.

    McDermott is a religious man.  In Nathan Peterman’s last 2 starts, he had a blizzard and heavy rain.  God is telling you something Sean.  Listen.

    Are you trying to say if they start Peterman again he's going to get struck by lightning?

     

    Should be interesting tomorrow if Allen gets the nod there should some fun reaction. Peterman on the other hand I think this place melts.

    I don't need to read the OP to agree.

     

    If I am a GM and I know it's a QB starved league having a good QBs makes me King. If I hit twice I can sell one. 

    But if you trade it to one of those QB hungry teams you could get a O-linemen or recievers or picks to get those things that the team needs. I don't see the advantage to taking an extra step.

    Here’s the thing with QB’s, the good ones are good right from the start.  Happened with Brett Favre, Russell Wilson etc.  I think at the end of 15 games you should know what you have.  What’s the difference going QB in 2019 vs 2020?

    What?

     

    I guess we're just going to ignore all those other Qbs that had rough starts.

    I fully expect Allen to get the start on Sunday. My point is, if he’s still the same inconsistent QB he was at Wyoming with little signs of improving AND the Bills have the choice to draft a top QB....I say draft a new QB

    So if he plays badly like he did at Wyoming where he lead a crappy team to an 8-6, and 8-5 record?

     

    This thread reminds me of the one you did the other day about Jerry Sullivan not being terrible.

     

    It's almost as if you specifically create threads that are bound to annoy a large chunk of the forum.

    I just think that Peterman needs more time. He’s a young guy; remember that Tom Brady was a 6th round pick!! Peterman is a young Drew Brees. He just needs a chance to show it.

    I mean he has such a short bar to clear. All he has to do is get less than 5 picks against the Chargers next week and he's improved since last year.

    Whenever a coach says “I have to look at the tape” it is a massive red flag.

     

    Because it’s 100% indicator that he lacks sufficient recall, which is incredibly important for a quality game manager.

     

    It shows that he’s not fully aware of what is going on during the course of a three-hour game. A person who isn’t aware will not make proper decisions - whether it be personnel, scheme adjustments, clock management, etc.

     

    It is a big problem, folks.

    That's only true if he actually has to look at the tape and it isn't just an excuse to not answer right now.

    All part of the process guys.

     

    McDermott has always known how much Peterman absolutely sucks, but he needs a scapegoat, or perhaps more accurately, he needs something for a below average (In terms of NFL talent) to rally around.

     

    Last year the team starts strong then has a string of a few bad losses. Naturally, the QB gets too much credit and too much blame, so to prove a point--it can get much, much worse--he puts in his secret weapon, a QB so abhorrently bad that he merely needs a single half to prove to the fan base that yes, indeed it can get much worse.

     

    This summer going into week 1, McDermott and Beane recognized long ago who was the best QB, but instead of keeping and starting the semi-average McCarron and treading water for a few games, maybe getting a win or two and in the process making it perhaps a little more difficult to start the much more talented rookie who will inevitably make plenty of mistakes to start his career, McDermott and Beane decide to suffer immensely immediately so that it can be less time-consuming or controversial of a switch by trading the competent QB and keeping the guy who will force the change himself through his terrible play--and quickly.

     

    Now that the entire team and fan base all suffered through that utter incompetence, they will rally behind Allen even more, giving him an even longer leash as he deals with his rookie growing pains.

     

    Meanwhile, Beane is working on the phone with teams he spoke with over the Summer about acquiring a cheap (but actually capable) backup QB.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Wouldn't it be just friggin awesome if this were true :flirt:

    That'd be one hell of a conspiracy.
