5-10 for 57 yards against the rather bad Colts' secondary.  Meh!

 

I love how you have made this same post several times in the past only for me or someone inform you that he had 3 passes hit receivers right in the chest only to have receivers drop them. He also had a spike to stop the clock which counts as an incompletion. 

 

He was pretty much perfect that game.

I've read very little from those who feel Allen should be given the starting job, where they're acknowledging a marked difference between Peterman as a second-year player, versus Josh Allen as a rookie, for most of the discussion.

 

So no, it's not that obvious.

 

Guys wanted Allen to be elevated up the depth chart so that he wouldn't be bogged down with the 'inferior' talent that surrounded him, now that wish may be granted.

 

And by 'no excuses', I largely mean as to why Peterman had the better game, if the end results should end up favoring him.

 

 

 

 

 

Wanting to see Allen play with the 1s and 2s is imo a separate issue from why a second year QB would be better equipped to succeed in preseason games than would a rookie. 

 

I very much doubt the coaches are going to make their decision on who starts the regular season based on Allen and Peterman's respective play with the third team, so Allen's play against the Panthers vs Peterman's play against the Browns is not important in determining who between them should start.

I'd say as of right now Peterman has the edge to be the starter for week 1.   However, McCarron isn't that far behind and if Allen continues to impress he could be the starter as well.  The bad news is that whoever the #1 is isn't getting all the reps that you want your starter to get.  The good news is that all three QB's are performing decently.   We all know that Allen is the future but we should absolutely roll with three QB's to start the season and may the best QB win the job for week 1.

That's almost hilarious if you weren't being serious 

 

 

's

The defense got almost no pass rush because of the snow.  I never understood what the Naterbaters saw in this game that everyone else missed.  He wasn't terrible, that's about it.

Except people want Allen to start the regular season over that 'better equipped', second-year player without having seen him compete against a 1st team defense.

 

Peterman having a better outing, being a second-year player isn't the obvious, foregone conclusion shared by the majority, that you make it seem, if it were, I doubt so many would be calling for Allen to open the season as the starter...that's my point.

 

Also, I'm assuming that Allen gets work with the second-team offense, considering that's who he got the most reps in with during practices, and it's who McCarron started the game with after replacing Peterman vs. the Panthers'.

 

So it wouldn't be Peterman's third-team performance vs. Allen's third-team performance, that would decide anything for the coaches---as that would be ridiculous---it's Allen's play with the second-team alone, that will likely weigh heavily on the coaches' decision to elevate him or demote him on the depth chart.

 

I think the Browns' defense will serve as a good test for the QBs.

I don't think we really have any idea on what the coaches criteria is for picking a starter.  Howsoever, I doubt very seriously it's based soley on their play in these PS games. Things like smarts, leadership (an often over looked trait on TBD), and other things I probably wouldn't understand are probably in the mix as well. 

 

I have my preference, but I'll just have to wait and see what happens.  Whoever can help us win the most THIS YEAR is who I want.  I'll have to trust Coach McDermott to make that decision.  He was right last year.

You realize, when I say 'better equipped', I am speaking strictly in terms of playing preseason football games and make no claims as to which is the better prospect, in either the short, intermediate, or long term. Nor does my use of the phrase 'better equipped' have any bearing on the overall comparable quality, potential career, nor general NFL-readiness of either quarterback. This has been a message from GoBills808.

I believe everything that's gone on during minicamp and training camp will be kept in mind, but the decision will rest heavily on how each performs in preseason.

 

Why do you place emphasis on 'this year'?

I just wanna say, there's been a lot of kicking and screaming for Josh Allen to get work in, elevated on the depth chart, if he struggles as second man in behind McCarron, don't be mad.

 

No excuses if Peterman excels as third man in.

It's not an excuse to say that a rookie will have a harder time playing w/ the 3s than a second year guy. If that wasn't obvious enough already.

Applying the phrase 'better equipped' to Peterman, when speaking on preseason football games vs. regular season games football doesn't change what you are suggesting.

 

You're suggesting that Peterman has an 'obvious' advantage over Allen, being that he's a second-year player; few, if any of Allen's backers calling for him to be week one starter, have expressed any such sentiment of Peterman being 'better equipped' than Allen in any capacity, regardless of playing experience.

 

So the 'obviously a rookie will have a harder time...than a second year guy' argument won't hold weight with me should Allen fail perform up to expectations, but Peterman excel.

 

 

I just don't want the multitude of excuses...that's all.

Because it is THIS YEAR this year.  It's all we got.  Next year isn't promised. Heck, tomorrow isn't even promised.

 

i don't know about you, but I'm getting older by the minute.

 

Why do you place emphasis on next year and the year after instead?  There is no guarantee that whatever young QB (or old QB) for that matter will deliver.  I have no desire to baby sit another young QB.  I don't want to sacrifice another season in the hopes that our young QB gets better.  JP didn't. Trent didn't. EJ didn't.  If he's good enough to play and win, put him in.  If not, go with whoever gives us the chance THIS YEAR.

 

The last 3 winning/playoff season we had were with vet QBs.  I suppose you could go all they way back to Jimbo, but even he played 2 years  on another league.

 

Just win. We'll worry about next year next year (if we get one).

 

Go BILLS !!

I thought it was obvious that there exist circumstances relating to their relative pro experience, not to mention differences in expectation according to draft position, that render a comparison of their play with third stringers almost completely worthless. If I didn't make that clear I apologize.

 

Similarly, should Allen find himself as week one starter, it will have little or nothing to do with how he performed vis a vis Peterman surrounded by borderline practice squad-level talent. It's less an excuse than just the reality of the situation, at least in my mind.

Welp... it's McCarron starting, Allen 2nd and Peterman 3rd, so I guess you were incorrect there.

 

Yeah...welp.

 

'Overall stance", as in overall stance on Peterman being named starter for week one...that isn't changing.
