He doesn’t have them down though. You don’t re-write muscle memory gained through a life Tim e of doing it wrong in one offseason. When the bullets fly for real and he gets pressured he reverts right back to his crappy footwork. Give him time to overwrite his poor footwork and he could be something special. Throw him out there with a **** OL and he’ll be running for his life much like he was in college and will revert right back to what he’s always done. Edit: Did the board really change the word c-r-a-p-p-y to four asterisks?

Man, I don’t even want to know how the OL will look if the opposing teams DL takes their gloves off...

As opposed to a message board which is totally different?

Karmara could be described as a limited use back as well. I guess we will find out.

Absolutely, so getting your starter all the 1st team reps they can throughout camp becomes extremely important. Thy should have named a starter weeks ago.

I think it's Peterman too. The only reasoning I can think of not to name a starter yet is that they were dangling either Peterman or AJ in trade and whomever didn't get dealt would be the starter for the first 4-8 games before handing the reigns to the rook. If Allen was going to be the starter they could have announced it long ago, got him his reps and likely sold more tickets. Then again, what do I know. It's all just speculation.

I wasn't happy with what I saw from AJ but I don't know how this team goes into the season with 2 QBs behind this OL.

It is public that the QBs have been splitting reps. That's the main issue in not naming a starter. The starter needs all the reps he can get to get ready, particularly with the inexperienced QBs the Bills have on the roster.

I cant remember a team ever waiting so long to name a starter. What could possibly happen between now amd the regular season that you havent seen up until now? The Bills arent getting any kind of advantage over the Ravens by not naming a stater yet. It should have been done weeks ago and the starter should have getting sole reps with the 1st team. Just name the starter and move forward. This indicisivness is a bit worrying from a head coach.

Go take a look at the placement of the pass today and explain how that was proper placement. I’ll wait.

Are you going to acknowledge the body of my post where I address the real issue?

Incorrect. If he couldn’t make the throw he wouldn’t be on a team and/or wouldn’t be asked to make the throw. The problem he has is the placement of the ball. Take the one he threw today, it was nowhere near the proper placement. It wasn’t at the sideline. He needs to place it so the WRs body blocks the direct route to the ball of the DB. Do that and it can’t be interrupted and it’s very tough to break up. Granted, his arm makes the room for error on that throw exceedingly narrow but he does have the arm to make it.

I dunno, that banana peel might be more effective than any of our guys...

He does, it’s just needs to be on time and placed right. He has less room for error that’s not the same as he can’t make the throw. He does struggle with the throw, that’s obvious though. I wince when I see him make it.

If Peterman isn’t the starter McDermott did his team a disservice by wasting their time giving Peterman 1st team reps at all. If he had no shot at starting they shouldn’t have wasted all those reps on him.

Peterman controls the offense in a way Allen, doesn’t. He gets in and out of the huddle and has plenty of time to set protections. That does make a difference. People want to make it sound like Peterman doesn’t have an experience advantage over Allen but being there for two camps and an entire season helps him a lot.

Didn’t Peterman already get a start vs another team’s 1s? Hes looked pretty consistent no matter what unit he’s out there with. People are letting their desire to see Allen start get in the way of what is plain as Day: Peterman has looked like the best QBs in the pre season. I want Allen to be the guy too, but he ain’t there yet.

When Peterman played well with the 1s in the first pre season game people tried to claim the other QBs were at a disadvantage because they had to play with less talented players. How the narrative shifts every week to try and discredit Peterman. I want Allen to start as much as anybody but only if he earns it. Peterman has played better. I have no doubt Allen will be the better player eventually but he hasn’t shown he’s the better player this pre season.

He also has command at the LoS that Allen doesn’t right now. Peterman helps the OL recognize the D and sets the protection. It makes a difference.

Peterman is the only QB who has looked good playing with the 1st team... ?

No way of knowing from the TV feed but his internal clock needs to be telling him to get rid of the ball. That being said he’s a raw rook and I don’t expect him to be processing things quickly right now.

That was on Allen, he had time on that play.

From all accounts the D hasn’t been dominating the O in camp. That tells you something about how bad the D is going to look come the regular season.

Without seeing the all 22 it’s impossible to tell if he has anybody open In the flats or short middle.

It’s the dumbest thread in history yet McDermott hasn’t counted Peterman out of the competition and from the looks of things Peterman is one bad outing from Allen this week of getting that week 1 start. Allen performs well this week and he likely starts. He sh*ts the bed and, like it or not, it’s probably Peterman. Not sure why so many Bills fans enjoy ripping one of their own players. It’s kinda crazy how fans sh*t on the guy no matter what he does. I hope Allen wins the job too but damn, all the hate for Peterman on this board is just nuts.
