Terry76 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If McD plays McCarron all game it better be Josh starting Game 1, unless they value McCarrons trade value over your young QB development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 it HAS to be... it's just gotta! To be honest, I don't take anything for a given with this team. All options are on the table until the game starts come week 1. But by the time the game is over tonight, we should have a little better of an idea, but surely nothing we can cement in stone.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I think that the OP’s post has merit. You’d think there would be some (or a lot) of value in getting Allen reps today. I actually thought that he may play the whole game. There would be no reason to sit him otherwise.

Coach55 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Showcasing McCarron to be used as part of the trade for Mack...

Exactly, if it was Peterman then Allen would be in the game, McD might be trying to be sneaky but this sucks if he is just sacrificing Allen's reps for a one game advantage. I am not saying Allen can be successful with our current team but he could use the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This is an audition for McCarron when he gets cut/traded. Allen is the number 2, and I doubt they want him getting injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. My thinking to was if Peterman is going to start Wk 1, they'd have given Allan all he reps he could have this week. I was surprised somewhat that AJ did play as I also thought as a vet playing AJ tonight would have been beneath him. So also does make me think they are trying to showcase him for trade value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the reasoning, but you also could get him live fire experience without risking a real game loss and if he is the #2 he would have time to heal from an injury if that happened. I am not an nfl coach so maybe the decision makes sense to someone on that level. It will be interesting to see his response to the reporters because this will most likely come up post game.

The oline is **** for sure, nowadays the career enders are usually achilles and spinal injuries, achilles are usually non contact and spinals are rare. I dont want him hurt in the end but he needs the practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Maybe it’s just because I want Allen named as starter but McD is slowly but surely becoming annoying.

Augie Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don’t know who starts next week (though I have a suspicion/preference) but I think tonight was about keeping the top two healthy, and hoping AJ could garner some trade interest.

Norcalbillsfan Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The way McCarron played tonight forced mcDs hand, even if he wanted to start the vet and save allen and peterman from becoming mashed potatoes behind the o line he cant.

So what is the theory on why you keep both out? 4th preseason game. 20+ players were told before the game they would not see the field ... that's NFL coach speak for you made the team. People playing in that game were largely there to show one last time why they should make the final 53, and to have film for other teams to watch if they don't make the cut. Or in McCarrons case, likely to see if any offers would come in. IMO, Peterman will start against the Ravens.
