Well we don’t have the luxury of watching Anderson choke away any chance of starting during the preseason so we’ll never get the chance to do a true side by side comparison.

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. The scuttlebutt is Moore is done with football due to his arm being shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are supposed to play. Can Anderson play? There are things that go in to being a professional QB, such as how to break down film, game prep, how to handle travel for away games etc. that is easier to learn but seeing it in action than hearing it from coaches. Peterman is still learning how to be a pro himself, so he is not really able to lead by example. I am good with this move and hope it works. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodHands15 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 We’ve got our sit on the bench with Josh guy. This is perfect. McBeane Process is sneaky sneaky. Take shot on maybe good QB Get a 5th for him Get a mentor of a decade+ experience who has already helped mentor Josh’s fraternal twin. ....and a 5th GO BILLS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It’s exactly the point and you know it. You argue just to argue. Of course no one brings in a veteran to mentor a rookie IF THEY ALREADY HAVE ONE. The point is obviously virtually everyone has one. If you don’t you bring one in. See how that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I think the John Clayton conversation was merged somewhere in this mess of a thread. John Clayton was on today with Schopp and Bulldog doing his weekly spot. He called for playing Anderson not immediately, but once he has had time to absorb the play book. Maybe in a couple of weeks or something like that. It was brought up that Allen is near the bottom of the league in all passer ratings. Clayton thinks he develops better from a watching position, not a playing position right now. Clayton is suggesting that we will "break" Allen if he continues to start as he is just not ready right now. Here's the link to the 21 minute interview: https://wgr550.radio.com/media/audio-channel/10-10-john-clayton-schopp-bulldog Edited October 11, 2018 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I fully expect Anderson will be starting games if Allen continues to struggle. It might be a good move it might not for Allen. Honestly Anderson is pretty much trash, so I doubt it will help our offensive suckiness, but I'm willing to bet the coaches will try it... We are producing at a historic ineptness level on offense, averaging 3.6 Yards per play, dead last in the NFL...to even move up to 29th place, we have to get to 5.0 Yards per play, a humongous 1.4 Yard gap...that is utter ridiculousness.

Pretty much exactly what I said...games where he came off the bench he was good...even in his first start he was good...he sucked when he had to start for extended periods of time, which is what separates backup QBs from starters in the NFL...how do they perform once tendencies are on tape and DC's can gameplan you to take away your strengths. The starters adjust and still play well, the backups cannot adjust either due to physical or mental limitations and end up sucking with any extended action.

CDogg20 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This is Allens team. Anderson is here purely to be a mentor. Taking the kid out of the lineup would make me lose my trust in McBeane.

Despite his rousing game speech about football glory, I doubt even he’d list a preseason game in which, for 3 quarters, he was the worst player on a field of next week’s practice squad players, CFL players, and former camp fodder as a notable achievement. After 3 seasons and 4 NFL starts he should have been so much better than the soon-to-be former Bears that it was demoralizing to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
