peterman isn't at all like flutie. allen isn't at all like johnson. other than that your analogy makes perfect sense.

Allen isn't hyper sensitive EJ Manuel. Allen wants the ball, has total confidence that he is the best QB on the Bills. And he is the best QB on the Bills. He is timex, takes a licking keeps on ticking.

Just follow Mr. Weo's lead and you should be fine.

this is a pretty funny thread

Reality check, if your third string qb is playing more than one game, your season is over.

Mr. Weo is on fire. Everyone study his posts. Adopt his views. This will bring peace and tranquility to TBD.

We have a bingo!

Recency analysis is not the same thing as recency bias. Team has a new QB and 40% new starting lineman this season. These are recent changes which can be analyzed. Its not bias.

Peterman is not a more productive QB now. He has 1 more NFL start in his career than Allen. So he is not much more experienced even. There is no reason to start Peterman.

Which QB was thrown to the wolves?

Allen's mechanics (like every QB) will not be remotely effected by the the 30 throws a week he makes in game conditions. That is pure nonsense. Game conditions are about getting used to the speed of the game. And getting used to have Ducasse pushed into you.

I think Allen is better now, and has a much higher ceiling. If the team is going to fail because the oline sucks, it is going to fail. I think every team plays its best QB. It would be weird if San Diego decided, "our oline sucks this year, we aren't going to make the playoffs lets sit Rivers so he doesn't get hurt"

The beauty of this is that Allen does both. Gives the Bills the best chance to have a winning season, and will have better development than sitting on the bench.

No we don't. Peterman did not face elite college talent on a regular basis. Why are you so self involved that you think the phrase "people act like" is specific to you? Peterman is awful. He will be awful. If he starts, he is the worst starting QB in the NFL.

I honestly don't care about the statistical results of a couple of off-season games. Any sighted person can see that Peterman will unquestionably be considered the worst starting QB in the NFL week 1, if he is the starter. Allen might be as well. The difference is by week 8 Peterman likely will still be the 32nd ranked starting NFL QB (barring injuries to others). Allen MAY not be. People are acting like Peterman is some grizzled savvy veteran who has been in the league for years like a Chase Daniels, or Case Keenum. He is not. He is a young player with one more NFL start that Allen.

It is not nonsense. Allen is better. Is the plan going to be to bench our best QB every time LeSean McCoy can't play, Benjamin drops passes and the o-line craps the bed. Because that is not a good formula.

This is wrong. What was shown is that the line didn't play well enough to let the plays called by the OC to develop properly. We also learned that Allen doesn't commit turnovers in those situations.

Allen is better than Peterman on all of the bolded parts in your post as well. Peterman, if he is the starter, will be considered the worst starting QB in the NFL by every objective observer. There is no purpose to starting him whatsoever.

huh. every single sack play had zero time to develop.

There remains no comparison in the level of QB talent. Allen is superior to Peterman in every facet of the game. People who support starting Peterson and the people who support starting Allen all agree on one thing : the Oline sucks. But it is very weird to start a lesser talented QB, because your oline sucks. Starting Peterman just delays Allen's development.

Makes sense. First quote asked for my take. Its all I had.

Allen has already won the starting job.

It is zero to zero.

There have been verdicts on him since high school. Among his recent verdicts were being considered good enough to be the 7th pick overall in the draft. Another recent verdict is being named starter for the dress rehearsal preseason game. Next verdict will be whether the people he works for think he qualified to start the first regular season game.

I am almost sure that coaches know whether the game they are playing is preseason, regular season or playoff, prior to the game even starting. Good well prepared coaches know exactly what they should in in each situation PRIOR to the game. Its not complicated. Bad coaches make emotional decisions "based on the situation". Good coaches are prepared.
