Charlottebillsfan2 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I like what AJ and Peterman bring to the table, both guys are serviceable backups if anything happens to your starter. The fact that Allen already looks better tells you all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen wouldn't be the 1st franchise QB to start his rookie year as the backup, he'll play pretty early next season unless Peterman is the real deal. Im not committing to Peterman like I would Allen. Why do you prefer Allen? Potential or you think he gives the Bills the best chance to win? If it's best chance then you're already going into the season with the wrong goals. The goal is to develop Allen. We aren't winning the Super Bowl with a rookie QB, so realistically, winning shouldn't be the #1 goal if Allen starts.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 To be fully honest, I was not happy with the Allen pick on draft night. But I just got done watching his snaps, and it looks like all my concerns were addressed. Accuracy issues? 9 of 13. Even more important, there was only one head stretching throw that I saw. (The first pass). The others were drops, quick shots to avoid a sack or throwing it up in the red zone in a spot where only his receiver had a shot. Footwork? That TD pass was a thing of beauty. Not ready for an NFL defense? He took his time, kept his eyes downfield. Yes, there were rookie mistakes and all the caveats of preseason apply, but he definitely earned time with the 1s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is by far the most talented and ownership is different, but I still wonder if Buffalo can develop a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pocket poise and pocket awareness is by far the biggest surprise with Allen so far. He's remaining poised even after taking big hits in the pocket.

Agreed. I don't want to rush him, but he is honestly much further ahead where I thought he would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) The Bills don’t have a QB to keep Allen on the bench. I originally thought that he’d need a red shirt year. That’s wrong. He’s a lot tougher mentally and further along physically than I thought. Hand him the keys and don’t look back.

PlayoffsPlease Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 I want to be diplomatic. Josh Allen is much better than Nate Peterman right now. His ceiling is dramatically higher. Unless you think this online will get Allen killed, you must start him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of the team, at somepoint ya just need to move on and get behind it. Hes making it easier as we progress. You are more likely the majority rather than the minority Yea, he is making it alot easier! He looks good & I'm happy he does. I'm not wrong about many things, but I was literally praying I was wrong about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play has earned the chance. He also seems to have the intangibles, too—you can see how guys reacts positively to him and he always seems to be bucking up his teammates. Leadership counts at the QB position and he seems to have potential there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know..."This guy Pete" looms like a different dude! He's showing some swag... lol...love the one arm compression sleeve With Pete looking this good... no need to rush Allen in the game this early in his career. Remember it's only preseason & he hasn't went up against a 1st team defense yet Edited August 18, 2018 by Scorp83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
