Steptide Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm as excited as the next guy for Allen to win the starting job. I'm also a Peterman advocate, and am 100% comfortable with him starting if need be. If Allen fails tomorrow though, are we back at square one with McCarron, Peterman and Allen? I'd like to think no, but listening to media this week, there seems to be this narrative that it's Allen's job to lose and I'm not so sure. I spelled tomorrow wrong.

SCBills Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Maybe start Peterman Week 1, but I’m strangely not worried at all - I think Allen will look good and this thought hadn’t even crossed my mind all week until I opened this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'll remind myself that Allen is better than Peterman and McCarron and that I want the best QB on the roster to start in Week 1. EDIT: I almost forgot ... Before anything else, I'm kicking my dog. What if he is bad AND you forget to kick the dog? What then? 12 minutes ago, Steptide said: I'm as excited as the next guy for Allen to win the starting job.

Oops I wouldnt worry too much about it. It isnt winning or losing in preseason. Remember that. Also, we are still at square 1. Except it looks like Nate and Josh are the interchangeable 1-2 and AJ is the odd man out. Stay tuned. To answer your first question though...what would I do?

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The way I see it, if Allen struggles tomorrow-Peterman starts. And if that happens then I’ll support Peterman and hold out hope he plays well. I think tomorrow is more about it being “Allen’s turn” then anything and that this competition is anything but over. I feel like if Allen plays well against starters, he starts. If he doesn’t, Peterman starts week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are keen on an oft-sacked and indecisive QB, AJ will be a real treat for you. Holds on to the ball too long, limited mobility in the pocket and has a weak arm.

Nihilarian Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I want him to look great to show up the other rookie QB's. OTOH I'm sorta hoping he falls on his face so the team starts Peterman for those first four brutal defenses. Ravens, Chargers, Vikings, Packers. Let Nate get his butt kicked so his fans will start to say time for something different or perhaps he'll play great and Allen can actually sit and learn this year. Either way, I don't want to see that #7 pick wasted by having him get shell-shocked behind that crappy Bills line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Joshin' Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 What is success? Darnold was 50% accurate with 86 yards. That is being is being touted as a success and the reason he should start. If Allen duplicated these stats I suspect many here would be calling Allen an inaccurate bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
