Why would you keep playing the worst QB in decades? 

 

What? You have no sense of humor and adventure? This is ground breaking stuff you’re seeing! 

 

....maybe not in a good way, but still, it’s history!   ?

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.

 

Don’t believe Gus, he’s not trustworthy, and he apparently hangs with the wrong sort.

    I think I'd like to see Peterman start, just for the entertainment value.  Watching him play is fascinating, in a very perverse way. Watching Anderson or Barkley play would just be boring. Of course if JA is 100%,  the game experience would be beneficial. Otherwise  PETERMAN! 

 

   

 

Completely agree. Seeing the awfulness of Peterman is like when Stern watched the Magic Hour.

To all the tough guys who say, "If he's healthy, Josh should start," how about we give the kid a couple more weeks, what with the bye coming up. Last thing he needs is to be rushed out there at less than a 100%. It's not like they need a win to get to the SB.

It gave us some funny stuff to look back on I suppose

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. 

He's a QB3 now because of how catastrophically he failed as QB1.

 

Jason Croom makes $480k and also has 1 year experience. I guess the Bills are breaking the rules. Nathan Peterman makes what he does because it is the standard contract for a late round draft pick on his rookie deal. His contract amount has absolutely no bearing on his expectations or abilities in his second year. Using his pay to try to justify his awful play is pathetically twisted logic.

Be Careful! YOU might be the 5th! 

 

Nice paycheck, but the medical benefits might be more critical. 

 

Do you work out at all? Maybe at least stretch a little?

Amazing...it's Friday and they don't know who is starting....great way to prepare for the game

 

They haven't been told who is starting. I bet the coaches know.

Lost in all this is why the F is Mcdummy splitting first team reps between three guys at this point in the season??

 

If Allen is ready, let him practice and start him. Otherwise, pick one of the other turds and let them get all the reps they can!

According to Sal C. this afternoon, everything he sees and hears within the organization says that if Josh Allen can play on Sunday, he is playing.  That is the absolute priority, according to Sal.


I.E., OBD is not adopting a "no rush" policy designed to bring Allen back safely after the bye-week.

 

Based on their decisions so far, they will probably start Allen despite him being only 90% ready, and then he'll re-injure the elbow, such that he's out for the season.  That'd be my guess.

 

Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and they will let him sit a couple more weeks.

If Allen is not ready to go, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things whether it's Peterman or Barkley.  Whoever McDermott things will be better at getting the ball into the hands of receivers is fine with me.  I'm not into tanking, but the actual win is less important than the players finding a way to play capably on offense.

I don’t agree with this. Going forward and certainly beyond this season, Peterman is useless. He will never matter, he shouldn’t still be here now and the fact that he has been allowed to be in position to play multiple times this season is a borderline crime. Barkley however could end up being a guy that can be our backup for the rest of this year and next year. Barkley is a veteran but still young. He could potentially be a long term backup. He could also be terrible, but the point is we don’t know. We do however know about Peterman and nobody with a brain ever wants to see him again. Barkley starting is sensible. Peterman starting is beyond senseless.

Allen is limited, meaning he is not yet ready for full practice reps. But he could be ready by game day. Don't know unless you try him out.

 

And honestly, does it make a difference? Will the offense be miraculously good of they have Peterman take all the reps?

OK.  I can agree to disagree.  What I can't agree with is the notion that anyone who disagrees with your position must lack a brain.

If he’s not ready for full practice, he shouldn’t play in the game.

Did he not learn from preseason about splitting reps between 3 guys?  Just make a decision and move on.

Dude it's dumb. Be decisive on if you want guaranteed loss Peterman, wildcard doesn't know the playbook Barkley (WHO COULD USE A FEW PRACTICE SNAPS) or banged up rookie you don't really need to start.

 

Play Barkley it's ****ing Friday

We're talking about the worst NFL quarterback ever. Barkley is far from the worst. But the other dude is on the roster possibly starting.. let's lose with a bit a dignity for Pete(erman)'s sake
