Doc Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 No it was the right calculation. AJM is isn't taking you to the playoffs and isn't the long-term answer. The Bears pre-season game proved that. The idea was to play Peterman for as long as they could, which turned out to be a half, and then go with Allen.

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. Did you not read the article? They believe Allen is ready. Their was internal debate about starting him right away and they gave Peterman the edge because of how consistent he was in preseason. Peterman was never going to stand in the way of Allen starting this year. The 5th round pick we got in return is infinitely more valuable than anything McCarron could have offered us this year. You can find players in the 5th round. Kyle Williams and Matt Milano for example. And everyone has forgotten that McCarron looked as bad or worse than Peterman in the last preseason game. It's a miracle we got what we did for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly McButterpants Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 it reminds me of Mularky's obsession with Shaud Williams as a 3rd down back. Great locker room guy, great practice guy, but also a guy who had no business being on the field on gameday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) 2 hours 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. Matt Moore should’ve been on this roster for a few years, honestly. Curious if they pull the trigger. He’s been my backup of choice since we were messing around with guys like kolb to try to fill the role. Low upside but a high floor that will keep a team functional even if not truly competitive 16 minutes ago, Doc said: This is what people thought during that 3-game losing stretch last season. Hopefully last week's game was akin to last year's Chargers game. And that’s why simply sliding into the playoffs isn’t a big accomplishment. Bad teams do it regularly.

Reading the tea leaves, I don’t think this fit into their plan and actually qualifies as even outside their worst case scenario (I think they only expected this in case of injury this early) Not that I’m anti starting allen. Just think this went outside their expectations by a good bit. Edited September 16, 2018 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRightRevenge Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Please sign Matt Moore or Derek Anderson ... and cut Peterman ... give Josh a seasoned vet in the QB room ... look what McCown is doing for (very classy) with Darnold. WAKE UP ... need a vet who has started multiple games in the QB room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have to keep three qb's then that is what they should do I it the most important position on the team. The fact that they don't have a mentor for him already is another mistake by the dynamic duo Edited September 16, 2018 by baskingridgebillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 This team isn't "winning games" regardless of the QB, so i wouldn't bother. Embrace the tank that the GM put in place and work on a sound development strategy for the younger guys and a create a great offseason plan to ensure we can competitive as soon as possible. If Allen flops this year, I hope they have the stones to pull a Brandon Weeden and grab a a marquee QB if one is available. Until you figure that out nothing matters.

I’d rather find out what this kid has sooner rather than later. I hear what you are saying...but i respectfully disagree. In my opinion many quarterbacks were ruined after taking a beating with a poor offensive line. Christian Hackenberg (at PSU) and David Carr come immediately to mind. It just alters your head and your reads, and they start rushing things and never can get "right" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The Blind and stupid loyalty for Peterman is absolutely at ridiculous levels. There are scrub veteran quarterbacks out there that would be better than Nate. Kaep, Moore, Lynch hell even EJ would be a slight upgrade. Peterman literally has no future as an NFL quarterback on any level. I don't care how well he knows the offense. They have to cut ties with him immediately and start shopping. The $ we wasted on Star and Murphy could have gone toward making a better offer for Fitzmagic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence is a strange thing. "Whether you believe you can, or believe you cant...you're right. " - Henry Ford When you get crushed game in and game out...you start to believe you cant. But I'll also say, now that you made this decision...you have to stick with it. You cant switch horses again.
