YoloinOhio Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Unlike the other two most QB needy teams, Browns and Jets, the Bills did not announce a plan for their highly drafted rookie Qb to sit the first year.

YoloinOhio Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Jets previously announced Josh McCown will start in 2018 and Browns have declared Tyrod the starter on multiple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Well yeah, you aren’t going to sit Allen if he’s the best QB at camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I’d be shocked if he doesn’t start during this year week 1, who knows. Red shirt? No way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Will he be the highest paid QB on the roster now? He may win the job anyway. Hope he can take his lumps. Edited April 28, 2018 by BuffAlone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think a lot depends on how McCarron plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Cease Fires Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Does anyone actually believe that Allen WON'T beat out AJ in camp? Unless they make a concerted effort to sit him out, the job is Josh's to lose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Typical Bills. Trot him out there when he’s not ready and break him for the remainder of his career... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I hope and pray he DOESN'T start until after the BRUTAL start to the season. If we get our teeth kicked in the first 4-5 weeks then get to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 The entire book on Allen was that he will need 1-2 years to develop before he’s ready to play. That’s why it’s interesting they apparently believe that’s fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play in the December home games. Allen's like a set of snow tires--just don't put them on too soon or you'll wear the tread down fast...

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If he wins it that would be amazing. but I’m content with him going slow and no real need to see him until 2020. Two seasons on the bench with some games. two seasons as starter. buffalo picks up the 5th Season option. And then decide in 2022 whether to give him the $$$$.

IMO the correct response. It would be rare for a rookie to beat out a vet, just because experience with an NFL offense and study habits with film make the vet more able to grasp the offense quickly. But the door should be open. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I truly believe that the Bills brass counted on that and one of the reasons why they did NOT want to offer next year's 1st round pick.

The problem I see with this plan is I'm not sure, in McCarron, that we have a capable starter for 1, let alone 2, seasons. So I have concern that, despite what Beane says, they WILL rush Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a complex scheme leaning on intermediate timing routes and anticipatory throws requiring touch... maybe the vet wins August. but I can’t imagine the kid sitting all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
