Our GM brought in multiple guys and drafted guys too. And we have no money! We have a ton of dead money until next year, remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile McD put him with the 3rd team. Now as you see Josh improve he is making everyone around him better. The players aren't dumb. They want to win and if they see Josh as the guy to do it that is who they will want. McD understands... Opposite of how losman was handled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they are both QB's destined to play behind someone else? Frank Reich led what was until recently, the greatest comeback of all time. Given Reich's role in Bills history, it's insulting to even mention Peterman in the same breath, let alone act like he is somehow following in Reich's footsteps. Utter nonsense. Get a grip.

He hasn't faced a game planning DC when games count yet. He's steadily improving. Let him develop. and how is he to experience that if he doesn't start? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 6 hours ago, BillsFan4 said: For me it’s less about peterman and more about making sure Allen is put in the best possible position to succeed long term. I am cautious by nature with rookies and especially so with Allen, who I hope is the franchise QB we have been waiting for since Jim Kelly. I dont want to do anything that could possibly hurt his development. If the coaching staff feel he’s ready to play with the 1’s in preseason game 3 and Allen has another showing like last night, then yeah, start him. But if there’s any doubt that he’s ready, I’d rather throw peterman in. Definitely excited about what I’ve seen from Allen, though. What if playing him stunts his development/growth but gives the team the best chance to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folz Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 6 hours ago, OJ Tom said: If the O-line sucks that bad, it's time to make a trade, and bring in a better player or two. Peterman isn't going to fair any better (he blows). The offensive identity is different with Allen, and they need to gear it to Allen NOW, not working on plays that suit Peterman's game. I don't mean to pick on you specifically OJ, but it just bugs me when people say stuff like "he blows." I'm all on board with Allen starting at this point, but Peterman does not blow. First of all, the worst guy on the worst team in the NFL is still an amazing athlete. You don't even sniff a shot at the NFL if you aren't a gifted athlete. Secondly, Peterman (since that San Diego game) has played well. He was playing well in the snow game and he has played well in both games this preseason. The kid has had a legitimate shot at one of only 32 starting QB positions in the NFL. That doesn't blow. He may or may not ever become a legit starter in the NFL, but by no means does he suck. Plus, he's a Buffalo Bill. You could prefer Allen over Peterman without having to trash Peterman. You could point out the reasons why you don't think Peterman should start or won't be a good starting QB in the league, but it's kind of ridiculous to just say he blows. I don't know, I guess I just grew up in a time where we rooted for all of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 6 hours ago, 1ZAYDAY1 said: Josh just needs to learn the patience of the game... you can’t force it. Plus playing smart, learning to slide, learning to get down and take a loss, throwing the ball away etc. One of the plays that I noticed was when they blitzed with the corner (I think) and Allen looked like he was about to take a shot and then pulled it in and took the sack. I believe that was him building on that cluster of a play on 4th down last week. He’s learning and it’s incredible how fast he is and how fun it is to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boca BIlls Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 7 hours ago, Steptide said: Love him or hate him, Peterman has played Damm good in these 2 games. I want whoever is the better qb to start. There is a large crowd of people that just want Allen to start no matter what, I'm just in the boat of start whoever gives us the best chance this year. Yes, allen is the better talent, but he's also a rookie and there will be growing pains. Peterman has the advantage of having already faced about the worst adversity a qb could face (5 it's in a half) and has appeared to overcome it and improve. So he may have the upper hand, at least for now. Like I said, just start who gives us the best chance Peterman is pulling a Fitz on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both on the third team and 1st team. That means he played well against the other teams starters. I want to see Allen against another teams starters. You all need to forget about 1 game last year. If Allen maintains I his level of play against 1st team players then we may have a Kelly and Reich type situation.

Maybe this season he can go for 6 in a half, and REALLY gain experience! Talk about seeing the sunny side of life.

I see a guy consistently getting better each week. Look at his first throw against the browns. That was a mis fire. First thrown against the panthers was out of bounds. There are others. He still needs work on mechanics. Edited August 19, 2018 by mattynh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allen will be great but there may be a benefit to him sitting the beginning of the season against some touchy defenses. Pre season defenses don’t do a lot of scheming and stuff so you have to take good and bad in preseason with a grain of salt. What you you don’t want to do is start him and have to pull him if it goes badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have stated in a post yesterday, I am the "be patient with Josh Allen and don't rush him" poster child. That being said, JA deserves a start with the 1s. IMO After the 3rd preseason game I personally will have more "data" (facts, stats, and personal opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
