Bangarang Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 2 minutes ago, JimBob2232 said: I am in the camp of dont kill Allen this year. Stick with Peterman. Get the #1 pick. Trade down several times. Get some WRs, OL, TE and DBs in FA/Draft, and set ourselves up for 2019. Exposing allen to a beating is just going to mess with his head and make it that much harder for him to be the QB of the future. If he’s going to be ruined this quickly then he was never going to be good. I’d rather find out what this kid has sooner rather than later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 1 minute ago, Doc said: Again no backup they can get will win games for them. If, god forbid, Allen goes down, the season is over and might as well get the best pick they can in next year's draft. The trouble with that, is that there are guys who are supposedly putting their bodies on the line, in playing Sundays. Expecting them to do so with Peterman behind center again, is not going to endear the coaching staff to them, and that sort of thing gets around the league quickly.

machine gun kelly Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 31 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: I for one hope that they add a vet and cut NP. Matt Moore is my choice. Peterman isn’t an NFL player and it sounds like the Bills finally realize what many of us already knew. You want a vetranarian? Just kidding Kirby. You know I like you. I do agree with you. I just don’t know who’s out there. One backup I always liked was Matt Moore. He has a career completion rating of 60%. i know he’s getting older, but he can’t be more than 34 yrs old. I’d rather have him as my back up over Peterman. His career is over. Too bad as he seems like a nice kid, but he chokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't they? What does winning maybe a handful of games with a $5M/year backup do for the team in the long run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Honestly, I might come off as a dick. But, I don’t want peterman on this team. I said it along with a few others on this forum that this off season that Peterman would be fighting for a roster spot. He played like his !@#$ was on fire during the preseason. But, then once again he soiled himself during a real game, that’s 2 out of 3 times. I’m surprised Moore hasn’t been brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drf1835 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Carson Palmer retired last year, but he would have been fine if he was receptive to playing again as a backup and mentor. Carson's brother taught Josh in the offseason too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 so why the rush to trade a.j for a 5th. The dynamic duo make a lot of mistakes If their evaluation is that Allen isn't ready then they could have had A.j starting this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
