drf1835 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Regardless how he plays today, if after the game Josh says, "Coach, give me the reins, and I will not disappoint you. I am ready, willing and able." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'd like to see him pick up chunk yardage on intermediate throws where he hits players in stride that have strong YAC opportunities. I don't need to see 60 yard hero-ball throws. Basically, can he take over drives and move the ball down the field at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Number 1 thing Allen has to show is trustworthiness. He has to look like he is in control and isn't going to make mistakes which hand victory to the opponent. If the coaching staff can trust him, he'll start in Baltimore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I guess I also want to see if Daboll understands this is how elite teams play in the NFL. It seems like for 20 years we've been running a curl-flats-bomb strategy, and it's just been miserable to live through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, essentially what he did the last game would help lock it up. It's not the big play he needs to show, it's the ability to sustain drives and operate the O.

NoSaint Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 3 hours ago, Virgil said: I have to admit that I'm pretty excited about the game today as I think it will make the decision as to who will be our starting QB. In my opinion, I think the coaches know what they have in Peterman, so it's Josh's job to change their mind and overall his job to lose. With that being said, I know that it's not about statistics, but it kinda is. Results matter. Peterman was almost lights out in his performances so far, but Josh is the known future so a tie goes to the Rookie. For me, if Josh is playing with the starters for the entire first half and shown good prep all week, I think anything about 60% completion with 140+ yards and 1+ scoring drives makes Josh our week 1 starter. Obviously there will be other factors, but if that's the result, I believe it's his. If he does win it, I will make my formal apology for Daboll and Josh for all the terrible things I said at their hiring and drafting.

Victory Formation Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 For me it's pushing the ball down field, airing it out and taking care of the football. Open up the running game underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
