I think all three make the team just because none of them are truly standing out. Allen has been high and low and probably needs some time to learn and grow. McCarron is meh and Peterman is still debating on which team to throw to. I bet all three start at least one game this year. McCarron will start most of them Exactly, I think around 14 teams last year kept 3 guys so its likely we'll do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 McDermott values versatility and a lot of players on the squad have some flexibility to play another position... Not sure that reserves/depth will be an issue... I'm more worried about some of the starters... I think they will go with 3 QB's at least until Allen takes over...

NewEra Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Fadingpain said: Agree with most of this except the part about AJ starting most games this season. No way. Allen will be the man and very possibly from Game 1. Just a question of whether or not he is truly unable to start Game 1 b/c he is too much of a tire fire at that point in time. If he can go, he'll go, and when the other QB options fail early, Allen will go then. Yeah but "sitting and learning" is a myth. No QB develops while "sitting and learning". He will learn by doing. You might be right about allen but the real question is, how bad is our OL. I wouldn’t put him I. There if the defenses are running free at our QB. That could be the case this season gents. Our defense is currently doing it bs our offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at some point in year when they need a spot to cover a short term injury Peterman gets cut. I think he signs on a PS elsewhere and sticks there through camp next year, is dumped again at cut downs and that is the last the NFL sees or hears from him.

Peterman is an ideal candidate for that. It also isn't idiotic if your 3rd guy in camp isn't good enough to ever trust in a real game. If you find out in camp you only have 2 NFL caliber QBs on your team, you don't keep the 3rd guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dump a pedestrian, add another whatever. If McCarron goes down, there are plenty of Peterman/McCarron’s pushing shopping carts in the store out there. I think you're wrong. But then again, you're pretty new around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd1 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Frankly, I think that McDermott is a smart coach. Last year he DID end up having to field a 3rd stringer because Tyrod was out and Peterman sustained a concussion during the Colts game. I don't think he will want to get caught with his proverbial pants down this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I’ve been saying that they may only keep 2 QBs for 6 months. It doesn’t look so crazy now. McCarron & Allen with Peterman on the practice squad. I’d only keep 2 but I suspect that they will keep 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Virgil said: With our relative lack of depth and quality in certain positions, and now that we can’t stash any of our guys on the practice squad, as well as the inability to give Allen any reps if kept as a 3rd stringer.... Is it far fetched to think that either of the other guys don’t make the team? Correct me if I’m wrong, but it was a struggle for a few games last year to field a roster with more than 2 QB’s active. ?we can't stash AJM or Allen, but why not Peterman? Our coaches may see him as promising, but the league as a whole isn't lining up to snipe up a 5th round pick who set a record for INTs in a half last year.

Also, I think we had to do some weird roster work to keep it that way. That’s the reason I’m asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
