SoTier Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Kevin1778 said: McDermott really is an idiot if he starts Barkley. It is Allen or Peterman. If healthy, Allen plays. If not, Peterman plays. If Peterman plays terribly cut him next week and keep Barkley. If he plays adequately he stays on until end of season and only plays if Allen is hurt. Anderson should NEVER step on field again. He is here to mentor Allen. Not get hurt. If Allen gets hurt again just play Peterman. This idiot coach is going to start 4 QB's in 10 games. Maybe the quarterbacks aren't the problem. I've been saying this all year. As poor as the offense was last season with Taylor, it's way worse this season ... there's not even a running game worth the name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 4 minutes ago, ngbills said: I would be excited to see this. See what he has and if he has learned anything. Sometimes a change and fresh start can be good. Positive - 6 starts and over 300 yds in 3 of them. Negative - 6 starts and 12 ints in those games. 1-5 record in those starts. We all know what we have in Peterman. Not to mention it's highly unlikely he'll be here next year. Might as well kick the tires on Barkley? Anderson is probably regretting coming here and his protocol will linger. Maybe Matt will shock the world....maybe pigs will fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think given the amount of time Anderson was given it could & probably should happen just to let Allen get completely healthy over the bye week & i think Barkey could give a better performance than Petermen due to a having a stronger arm & more experience in game ! If McD goes with the guy that gives them the best chance to win i'm thinking it's Barkley over Petermen !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley is getting cut next week no matter what. Allen is the starter and Anderson the backup and mentor for the rest of the year. Peterman is getting cut and will likely be resigned to the practice squad so they have a warm body in case of emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Honestly, if Peterman is so bad that he gets leapfrogged by Barkley, he needs to be off the team. I actually like Barkley as a backup quarterback, but he shouldn't be starting over Peterman in this situation, unless Peterman is THAT bad...in which case Peterman needs to go bag groceries.

B Fan in LA Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 So let's look into the crystal ball and image this.................. If Barkley starts and plays the whole game, how may INT's do you think he'll throw ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't cut him yet. He would be Barkleys backup if Allen can't play. You cut him when Anderson comes back during the bye. You then resign him to the practice squad for an warm body in an emergency. Next year you keep Allen and find him a real backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Peterman is still on the team only because he's healthy,,,, and knows the playbook (which allows the team the ability to open up the full playbook in practice and games). When Allen is up to speed and Barkley catches up I think Peterman is cut loose. DA in my opinion would be good to have around as a mentor but i can't see them rushing back on the field anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM's know how atrocious Bill's line and receivers are. People forget Anderson turned the ball over 6x in two starts. And he has been in league for over a decade as a backup.

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, and blaming it on an incompetent coach even though the same coach is the only reason he's on an NFL roster. I don't know if Nate's your cousin, maybe you went to school with him or something, but his play is historically bad and he is not an NFL caliber player. There's nothing wrong with that. Most people in America are not NFL caliber players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

SWATeam Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Personally, I am hoping for a Peterman start and win.

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.

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...
