Kelly the Dog Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 In the first series the Bills should pump fake the throw and have a WR do a double move up the sideline. Even if it’s not complete it will help keep the DBs honest. It's funny because that's exactly what I thought. And my immediate next thought was that the Ravens would know this too and sneak a safety over looking for just that play. Or Nate would get killed because he only had 1.9 seconds to throw. I'm sure the team knows Peterman is temporary. Shady said it a couple months ago, everyone can see Allen's talent and it's only a matter of time before he gets the start. Taking Tyrod out halfway through the season with a winning record is much harder to come back from than sitting the rookie for the first few games. McDermott doesn't have to apologize for that no matter how it turns out. Few rookie QBs start week 1. Probably not. But if it's a disaster he will. I'm sure he is not going to throw five INTs. But it could be a Tom Savage situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 IMO now the best we can hope for is that Peterman improves his trade value over this season with a good performance. If he doesn't, it's a waste of valuable time in a season in which wins aren't expected. Personally I'm not holding my breath on the first part, but it's good to have goals. If Peterman actually plays well this season you don’t trade him. He’s insurance in case the #7 pick doesn’t develop like you hope. It would be just like the Bills to trade away a QB who plays well with just the hope that someone else might be better. All the Bills should be hoping for is that one of these two young QBs turns into a legit franchise guy. Odds are it’s Allen but the odds have been wrong before... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be rooting like hell for Peterman to surprise the world, but everything I've seen from him in terms of arm talent is preparing me for a long Sunday morning.

Personally I've already seen enough from Allen to know he's going to be the better pro so I wouldn't hesitate to trade Peterman even if he has a monster year (for a first round pick, of course). But I don't have a crystal ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Don’t like this decision personally. Still trying to accept the Bills are starting a 5th round rookie last year with very minimal talent Let's just put it this way: There is probably a reason Beane fought tooth and nail to preserve next year's draft picks intact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Picking Nathan Peterman as the Bills' starting QB was the right, and logical, choice Sal Maiorana, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ORCHARD PARK – Nathan Peterman it is, not that anyone should truly be surprised by Sean McDermott’s decision which was announced early on Labor Day morning. “Nate has earned the right,” McDermott said of the second-year player who will be Buffalo’s starting quarterback for the regular-season opener Sunday afternoon in Baltimore. “I thought with his total body of work through the spring and summer and fall camp to this point, he has certainly earned the right.” The Bills coach made it perfectly clear from the start — as Peterman, Josh Allen and A.J. McCarron stated their cases to be QB1 — that each would be afforded a fair shot to win it. To his credit, McDermott did not deviate from that plan as they all started one of the first three preseason games, and they all took plenty of reps with the first-string offense in training camp. When all the evaluations were concluded, the evidence was clear-cut in favor of Peterman, and McDermott made the undeniably proper and logical call.

njbuff Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) What are the odds Peterman finishes the Ravens game? Are injury and/or ineffectiveness in order? I'm sorry, I think Peterman totally blows and it's a big waste of time seeing him starting. His arm talent doesn't allow him to be a good NFL QB. Since they got rid of McCarron, I would much rather see Allen go through the growing pains than see Peterman start. I hope I am wrong about Peterman. If I have to work Sunday and can't watch the game.............. I can see the update I get around 2;50pm................... Ravens 27-3 with 4:30 to go in the 3rd quarter and Peterman is 11-26-93yards, 3 INT's Peterman is Trent Edwards with a weaker arm................. if that's possible.

Roundybout Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 What I would like to see are some pump fakes on out routes. Make some defenders go for the out, and hopefully that will open up a curl or dig route on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Starting Nathan Peterman not a surprise, despite '17 disaster The Buffalo Bills' decision to start Nathan Peterman in their regular-season opener Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens will be mocked by some, much like Bills coach Sean McDermott was jeered for his call to start Peterman in a disastrous 54-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last season. At first glance to those who only know Peterman for his five-interception starting debut last November, the move looks odd. The Bills are starting Nathan Peterman? Really? Really. To anyone who has watched the entire Bills preseason and followed training camp closely, it should not come as much of a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, this is all about lowering fan expectations. Its not about what is best for winning games or developing Allen. If you are start Peterman and go 0-4, then fans stay interested when you bring in Allen. If you start Allen and go 0-4, then fans lose interest. The second scenario much better for developing Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I'm admittedly skeptical at best about Josh Allen. There are just so many damn red flags. The second preseason game provided a glimmer of hope, but I've reverted back to extremely skeptical. I've been a Bills fan for too long to have blind faith, so I actually admire the faithful. Life is better, if not realistic, for those with optimism. Just curious if anyone is losing a little bit of that faith with Allen. We can talk all we want about the offensive line, but the guy was beaten out by a 5th round pick with one more year of experience.

At the same time, it is good for many reasons he is not starting this week, one of which is it has now been reinforced that you have to earn EVERYTHING in this league. Alot of high draft picks have a strong sense of entitlement (not Josh IMHO). See Corey Coleman. Because of his terrific work ethic, attitude and intelligence this will turn out awesome for him, he will be much better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
