NewEra Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Better get someone in here ASAP. Definitely don’t want to see Peterman or Allen play with our 3rd stringers again, can we forfeit the next 2 games at halftime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 1 hour ago, TheTruthHurts said: Most likely just an arm. The injury actually helped the Bills a lot. I don't think they wanted to keep 3 QB's, now they can without losing a roster spot. I think it may have solved a problem re: the reps to go around. McCarron probably fell back to #3 in the pecking order last night anyway, so now they can give more time with the 1s and 2s to Peterman and Allen. I'm not a Peterman guy, but he deserves a lot of credit. He looks like he put on muscle in the offseason, and it struck me that he looked like he didn't belong with the 3s last night. I'm impressed by the kid, and I think the Bills are, too. I also think that Allen is progressing much more quickly than they thought he would. He definitely has complicated the QB decision.

He is just an awful QB period. Pete, I don't know. The bills would look like heroes to some. He does the fourth preseason game, he is able to show the rest of the league where he is at and then you cut him because everyone knows you are going to cut him in advance.

We all understand that...Let’s just think about the narrative created when we cut Kap. Imagine if he even played slightly decent against 3rd stringers. The Bills would become the most hated team in sports by the general media. The team that cut Kapernick. Even though that is the plan regardless of who it is. Upset half of your own fans by signing him, then infuriate the liberal media once you cut him... How about we just avoid that whole situation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think teams are scared that if they do give him a chance to come in and try to make a team he fails and fails badly. Teams are scared of the backlash if they cut him. Scared how that would go in the locker room and scared about the backlash the media and fans will have on any team that cuts him. Sad to say but this is what’s going on these days.

KCNC Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 If Allen does not stop diving head first, he is going to be a lot worse of than AJ. He has done it in both preseason games. Makes me cringe every time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, great points. i do want the bills to bring in somebody. I don't want Allen and even Peterman in that fourth game for anything more than two series (tops) each. edit: Allen should be our starter, but regardless of what some think Peterman appears to be developing into an asset for this team which we can't risk at this stage going into the season, given that AJ might be out for the first couple of weeks.

Fixxxer Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We should bring someone young that will use this oportunity to showcase himself, I believe a veteran won't be too happy becoming a punching bag in a 4th pre-season game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) ... Anderson does have that "Carolina Connection" pedigree...think he was there for six years....and of course the yipsters are chiming in with their usual gems:..." are we THAT desperate?........great, sign a Cleveland Brown castoff....yada yada...".....maybe McCarron to IR designated for return.......may have to carry three on the active 53 because Peterman is only one with PS eligibility and would be poached.....six weeks hence, a couple of things could happen...first, the picture is clearer relative to Allen & Peterman progress.....if AJ is healthy, activate him to the 53 and release Anderson (no trade value).....hope someone comes QB shopping and maybe McBeane can swing a 4th for McCarron......we need to come out of this with the next Kelly/Reich duo IMO....

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 6 hours ago, TheTruthHurts said: To do what though? Neither guy is likely to sign cheap to be 3rd string for a few weeks. Only reason to do that is if you're worried about Peterman. Agree, think you sign a young guy who would welcome two preseason games of exposure, hoping down the road some team were to pick him up, basically an audition tape. Or even back to Buffalo if one of their other starters got hurt dow nthe road. Assuming AJ hadn't got hurt, I think the Bills would have kept all three QB's on the 53, but like most teams on game day, one is in-active So effectively you have two QB's to get through any given game. If one of those two were to get hurt then the following week, the in-active 2rd string QB would be active. Unless the Bills really think AJ should be their starting QB, you could just as easily cut him and just go with two active QB's on any given week, but would like a 3rd guy for the next two preseason games. On Sept 1st, you cut AJ and the new guy and if either Allen or Peterman were to get hurt, hope at least one of those two you cut were available to resign.
