LABILLBACKER Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 22 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: We all know Josh Allen is the guy they'll spend time developing as the potential franchise QB. Why not see whether Barkley can be a viable backup QB at this juncture because Peterman hasn't come close to being a guy the team can rely on to play at an even decent level. I completely agree. Peterman is the butt of every sports show joke. I heard 3 more today. What is McD trying to prove here. Acquiring MB was an intriguing add, so let him play against a weak jets team. Who's to say he couldn't be a backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're consistently trying to justify historically bad QB play by contract details that aren't even factually accurate, a depth chart position that isn't correct. I need to educate myself? You seem a little slow, so let me make it as easy as I can for you. Josh Allen is QB1. Derek Anderson is QB2. Nate Peterman is QB3. Not debatable. QB1 got hurt. Then QB2 got hurt. When QB1 and QB2 are injured the next number is QB3. (Simple enough for you) Nate Peterman earns $555k. The league minimum. (Hopefully that is simple enough for you) Those are the facts.

We have a starter and a backup. Allen and Anderson. Both will be ready after the bye. We just need a warm body on the practice squad, because if Allen and then Anderson get hurt it won't matter who you put on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I wonder if the ownership is embarrassed or if they read enough TBD to remember that everyone saw this coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Personally, I am hoping for a Peterman start and win. It would be pretty awesome to identify the Jets as the one and only team that Nathan Peterman ever beat. The NY tabloids would have a field day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Barkley and Peterman you can be sure Peterman will get on the field. If Barkleys knee holds out I will be shocked. Both will be off the roster once Anderson clears concussion protocol.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Why not? They'd better not rush Allen. Hate to see him get injured again behind our putrid OL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like they were counting on DA to start. When he was ruled out, they fainted and still haven’t woken up yet. They’re praying allen can play so they don’t have to look so foolish trotting MB or NP out there. All that has gone wrong, has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Kevin1778 said: Nope. He is on par with a guy like Danny Etling. Only difference is Patriots don't start their practice squad caliber quarterbacks. Only morons put guys with Petermans talent and inexperience on the field when they aren't ready behind bad offensive lines with no receivers. Remember, Derek Anderson had 6 turnovers, a pick 6, and no touchdowns in 2 starts. Why? Because a stupid coach rushed him into the field. There is no room in the NFL for a QB that lacks the requisite arm strength to play the position. Not third string. Not practice squad. Nothing. Peterman has become a scapegoat for all of our offensive woes, but there's no reason to carry a QB who will never be able to play the position. I've never bought the whole perfect backup thing regarding any quarterback. They are not starters for a reason, but they damn well better be able to play if called upon. You don't carry a guy as a backup who can't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to learn to better get rid of the ball and run with a little less reckless abandon (although that is fun to watch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 FWIW...my neighbor’s cat, Gus, knows someone at OBD. He told me that Allen will be the starter on Sunday. He also said to buy land east of Batavia for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
