Magox Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I think it's becoming more clear that his teammates are making these statements because a) they believe in him and b) they are making a public sales pitch to the coach for him to start. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the bozo FOs we've had the past few decades these guys get the benefit of the doubt with me. That's not what McBeane is gonna do though, it's what some fools here THINK they will or should do. They are fans, that read somenonsense about how to develop QB's and post some kind of plan that they think the team should follow. Each QB is different. This isn't JP Lossman, it's a guy with amazing talent, that is getting good quickly, and a 2nd year guy who (for some reason) some fans have projected their dreams onto (but he is actually just in the way at this point). At worst, Peterman might start a couple games, but I think he will struggle and it will be obvious that it's time for Allen.

That, like Aaron Rodgers, who Hyde played against in practices for a few years, Allen was listening to the defensive calls being made as they were lining up presnap, trying to figure out what they were doing on defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have so many players praising him. Its obvious they want him to start, you don't need to praise a guy like this unless you trust and want him playing with you. BuhBuhBuh bbb...but wait! What about that great advantage that Peterman developed by throwing 5 interceptions in a half? How is Allen going to make any kind of career without that kind of advantage? I'm really hoping Allen throws 7 interceptions in his first half, then we'll know he's on his way, and can say "this guy is ready!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think Allen is that close, he is close enough. I have liked Petermans work in preseason. I have also thought that Josh Allen has given reasons to be looked at more seriously right now as a starter. I'm glad our draft pick is earning his stripes and seems to be learning quickly.

Thanks for the update. I didn't say it would be their intent, I'm saying Peterman would **** the bed so bad, they wouldn't have much of a choice. But they are (hopefully) smart enough to just start Allen. Edited August 19, 2018 by OJ Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think anybody really thought Tom Savage gave the Texans a better chance to win than Watson? There would be benefits for Allen to sit and watch for a few meaningful games.

I guess that would depend on Peterman. If we are winning games I don't think you make the switch. Edited August 20, 2018 by Lfod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, are you really saying that O’Brien did the right thing by starting Savage over Watson to start the season???? All that did was put the team in a hole and gift the Browns a higher draft pick.

I’m just saying O’Brien may have decided to give Watson a few games to watch. Savage’s poor play may have made Watson the starter quicker or it was close to the plan. Only those involved know.

PIZ Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'd like to see some clips of WRs talking about catching passes from Josh Allen. I would imagine it was shocking after getting passes from other QBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Fox in Chicago did the same thing last year, playing the abysmal Mike Glennon over Trubisky for the first 4 or 5 games. It was an absurd decision, did nothing but delay Trubisky’s development, and Fox is now unemployed. Edited August 20, 2018 by mannc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It's so comical how many Peterman bashers there still are. You guys all do realize Nate will be our backup for the next 10 years. Get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
