I personally think the guy will eventually be better than the likes of Kirk Cousins and a few other fringe talent QBs. I just don't get all the hate towards him on this board. Blah, blah, blah he threw 5 interceptions in a game.... who gives a flying FU3k. Correction. He threw five interceptions in half a game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneblitz Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 "Sitting and learning" is such a dumb concept when you are learning from Nathan Fricking Peterman 38.4 QB rating, 49% completion percentage, 2 tds 5 ints, sorry I like him, but in real games he's terrible, no way do we want Allen learning anything from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franshise material now? Naaahhh, why is Allen any different? Let the kid play he will either sink or swim. Enough of this sit and learn crap Honestly, if EJ Manuel would have been able to sit behind Kolb for a year, I think he'd be our QB today. 1 minute ago, greeneblitz said: "Sitting and learning" is such a dumb concept when you are learning from Nathan Fricking Peterman 38.4 QB rating, 49% completion percentage, 2 tds 5 ints, sorry I like him, but in real games he's terrible, no way do we want Allen learning anything from him. Those stats are from one, admittedly really bad game. It's like when you see a pitcher with a 36 ERA, then realize he's pitched 2/3 of an inning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then by that token, whats the proof that Nathan Peterman can teach Josh Allen anything, after all thats the only question of sitting and learning" whats the point, if it where Ryan Fitzpatrick or Josh McCown there may be a point, not a guy thats played all of 4 quarters and been terrible in those 4 quarters, if the coaching staff thought that highly of Peterman we shouldn't have given up all those assets to draft Allen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole week, all Tasker has been doing on his WGR show with Murphy is shill for Peterman. He's talked up Peterman more than the guy's agent would if he had a radio show. Been listening and I havent felt the same. While he has said he felt that there was a good chance it would be Nate he has countered Murph's just start Josh rants.

Bad Things Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I was a HUGE Tasker fan back in the day, but gotta say that he can be quite annoying on "One Bills Live". Each time he says, "Here's the thing...", "sipping the Kool-Aid" or "Nathan Peterman" , I just want to punch myself in the face. Stick to TV sideline reporting Steve, you do a good job there! Radio? Not so much. Edited August 23, 2018 by Bad Things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I wonder if Tasker knows we play the Chargers week2..... If Peterman starts, gameplan is to punt on third and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Josh learn from the bench and don't get him killed the first year. I worry about the "O" line letting that happen. Josh can handle himself. He played with much more pressure due to a terrible oline at Wyoming. Edited August 22, 2018 by billspro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Sitting can make sense when you sense he's not fully ready but learning in the film room and practices, when there is one or two vets with him with at least one teaching him the ropes and the like. So far Allen has shown that while he'll make rookie mistakes and have some growing pains, he is almost as ready if not as ready as the others, has more upsides, and Nate has just a few quarters of NFL experience. Anyway, this coming preseason game will likely help clarify this. Trust the process guys LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I remember in 86 when they wanted to start Frank Reich in the opener ahead of Jim Kelly. How much of a mistake would that have been 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens, Chargers, and Vikings will eat alive any Bills QB this year. I said this in another thread. Peterman vs Allen is akin to having a cheap old beater car vs a shiny new Corvette. The games you listed are like the salty, terrible NY winters. You run out your pos beater and keep your Corvette in the garage until it's nice out. Josh Allen is the Corvette to keep in the garage during that hellish storm. Nathan Peterman is the cheap winter beater you drive through the storm because you still need to get to work, but if you wreck it, it's cheap and worthless Nathan "beater" Peterman. Nathan Beaterman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News Flash: WE’RE the Bad team. Or maybe Josh is actually good and we are the good team.

Mickey Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Tasker was not at all happy that we drafted Allen. In fairness, he was not alone. I tweeted something before the draft that Murphy read on the air that was positive about Allen and Steve was fuming. That is not to say that he didn't have good reasons for his opinion its just that it might be hard for him to double back and really pull for Allen now. I don't think a few preseason games have changed his opinion on Allen all that much. On top of that, its hard to deny that Peterman is looking good so far. Look, emotions were high all off season about these QB's, its going to take some time for it all to settle out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
