FLFan Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: Yeah I see Kyle Orton as his ceiling. Which isn't too bad but personally I'd prefer Peterman or Allen to start. I dont care about our record this year so I want to see the unknown. If they fail no harm done. If McCarron plays like Kyle Orton for one year what do we get out of it? I'd rather know what we have for the future. JMO Agree with you here. Unless they conclude that putting Allen in endangers his development more than hastening it, there is not much to be gained by playing AJ. I do not want to see Peterman in the starting role though. This makes no sense at all to me over Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McCarron would be really well off to be able to reach that level. Yeah Orton was great, remember that play when he slid three yards short of a first down and nobody was within ten yards of him. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Is it possible that Peterman has some form of multiple personality disorders and half the time he's an NFL quarterback and the other half he's something akin to a rodeo clown? 5 minutes ago, chris heff said: Yeah Orton was great, remember that play when he slid three yards short of a first down and nobody was within ten yards of him. Not specifically. lol. Still one of the better QB's we've had in a while. Which is sad. You'd think that the team bringing in someone who does similar things as you would encourage you to play even better and fight harder for the roster spot.. Not Robert Foster. I had high hopes for him, but it's looking unlikely that he's with the team much longer. Edited August 6, 2018 by whatdrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Allen coming with the third team in the first preseason game, I hope he gets the entire second half out there. Give the other two one quarter each. Then move Allen up and split first team reps with the winner of Peterman/AJM with the lead up to the 2nd game. If Allen is horrendous vs. Carolina’s third string he continues to take 3rd team reps while the other spilt heading into the 2nd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsSbSoon Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Hopefully after the carolina game allen starts getting reps with the 1's, at least the 2's more often. Foster cant hold onto the ball, and allen had had a bunch of other drops. But obviously hes not going to be the opening day starter so those reps are going to be few and far between right now.

I'm a homer, I know, but I haven't seen or heard anything out of camp that leads me to believe Allen will be "horrendous" -- it seems as though he's making a lot of good reads and throws. If anything, he's being hampered (much as he was in college) by having lesser talent to throw to. I mean, if Jeff Tuel can look good against 3rd stringers I certainly hope Allen will also.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Buffalo Bills training camp recap, August 6: Nathan Peterman stars The Buffalo Bills held their tenth training camp practice today, and while much of the focus was on a player not in attendance, the team still had plenty to do on the field today. The Bills deployed their standard quarterback shuffle, but they also rotated some players along the offensive line in different ways. Here are some of the major storylines to come out of St. John Fisher this morning. Peterman back with the ones Offensive line shuffles Injury updates Where’s Corey? Quick hits First-team wide receivers opposite Kelvin Benjamin were, Rod Streater, Jeremy Kerley, and Andre Holmes, according to Sal Capaccio...Logan Thomas worked with the first team, hauling in a pass from Peterman...Mike Rodak said that Robert Foster was working with the second team. He caught a pass from McCarron on a deep curl, and then McCarron overthrew him one play later...Capaccio noted the depth behind Charles Clay, as Jason Croom caught another beautiful touchdown from McCarron today...defensive end Shaq Lawson had a nice day, according to Mark Ludwiczak, which including a sack, a pass breakup, and a good number of pressures...Robert Foster, on the other hand, did not have a good day. He dropped a pass that led to an interception late in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Josh Allen seemed to have a very good day, although it could have been even better if his receivers were able to catch some passes that were described as having been thrown very well. Ray-Ray McCloud dropped two passes in 11-on-11 work, including a perfectly thrown deep pass. (Mike Rodak tweeted that the deep ball was actually dropped by Travaris Cadet, but either way, the pass was beautiful). Later, Allen had some good sets in 7-on-7 work, throwing a touchdown pass to Khari Lee and making another good pass to Kaelin Clay that saw the wideout stopped short of the end zone. He also threw a touchdown to Brandon Reilly, and he would have had another, but Robert Foster could not corral a bullet from the strong-armed rookie; it hit Foster in the hands and then fell to the turf for an incomplete pass. McCloud recovered from some of his earlier drops to snare a nice touchdown in the final session. Allen worked exclusively with the third-team again today, and the last time he saw first-team reps was last Thursday. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/8/6/17655694/buffalo-bills-training-camp-recap-august-6-nathan-peterman-stars-josh-allen-aj-mccarron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thursday should be fun. Given that the OL is still getting its legs and that Peterman seems to get rid of it a bit quicker, I think he starts over McCarron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him show what he can do with the big boys. While I agree, McDermott and Beane have said that they have a plan they are sticking with, and it is not going to change until the 1st preseason game. I have to imagine this is why they are keeping Allen with the third team for now, because McCarron and Peterman really are not blowing me away. 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: So...the QB put the ball through a tight window for a touchdown?

These WRs are brutal Exactly what I was thinking. Dude needs to get some time with guys that won't drop the friggin' ball so easily. I'm sure there's some adjustment on the receivers part in catching passes from Allen as he has a ton of zip on his throws but this is the NFL, if it's in their range, they gotta come down with it.

I was just talking to someone about how I’m usually anxious and impatient for real games to start this time of the year, but this year strangely looking forward to the preseason. There a lot of questions to answer. I’m of the mindset that the defense will be very good this year and I’m cautiously optimistic that one of these guys can separate himself and be a serviceable starter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
