HappyDays Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don't know, he isn't the first person to bring that up. When Mortenson first reported the signing he said "with the possibility of playing time." Maybe they've decided Allen isn't ready. I hope that doesn't happen, it would be another mark against this regime that they can't evaluate QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes his 47 starts is totally comparable to McCarron's 3. Or the fact that he has experience filling out a similar role in his 7 years at Carolina which happens to be 3 years longer than McCarron has even been in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Doc said: Of course. No one is going to pay a QB just to be a mentor and not be expected to play if the need arises. No, not 3-4 years. That's AJM and they shipped him off. They're looking for someone with more than a decade of experience and someone who has proven not to be looking to be the starter. I read upstream that's plenty of time---look at guys like Glennon and Henne and Mettenberger, etc....mentoring after only a handful of seasons.

OldTimer1960 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don’t know if Anderson is here to mentor or play, but I strongly believe that the Bills’ handling of their expensive (draft capital) rookie QB was poorly thought out. They clearly initially did not want him to play early as they had him taking 3rd team reps for most of camp. However, they completely failed to have a viable stop-gap veteran starter available to play now. Now, with him being forced to play with no other option and a (understandably) very poor supporting cast, it is a certifiable disaster playing an extremely raw rookie behind a very poor OL with literally no NFL starting caliber WR. It is almost as if they are trying to ruin him and have him run out of town before he even understands what life in the NFL is about. I am generally OK with Beane and McDermott, but this appears to me to be a MAJOR mistake. Now, they can’t really backtrack and bench him without most assuming that Allen is a bust. I don’t see a scenario where Allen could reasonably have a chance to recover if he is benched for career backup Anderson. Fans and media would pile on and Allen’s psyche would likely be destroyed. How very unfortunate that the front office could not realize that if the plan was to sit Allen (as Patrick Mahomes was) that they needed a viable veteran alternative.

Also if Matt Moore is a better player(not exactly the most important quality here) it's not by much. What I really like about this choice is he's been brought in to do the same thing before and seems to enjoy filling that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
