Peterman won’t make it through the first game. Period.

Chad Kelly could be available

Josh Allen.

My expectations are Josh Allen starts.

He made $9.785 million in his 6 year career. He’s set for life. Cheers! ?

He looked good in the National Championship game. Resulting in him earning a cool 1.3 million so far as a pro. That’s 26 years of making $50k per year. #winning https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/cardale-jones-19093/

Josh Allen 2018 NFL MVP. Sounds good huh?

Allen is better: physically, toughness & is younger. Peterman has a weaker arm, has already been concussed against Indy, and threw 6 picks in under 100 attempts last year including the playoffs. To me 2018 is all about riding with the Cowboy from Wyoming.

Nate Peterman.

He looks good against guys who are CFL caliber at best. McCarron ‘caught fire’ and was the beneficiary of multiple idiotic roughing the passer penalties which kept drives alive.

MCCarron has mentally checked out of the NFL. He’s a multimillionaire with a super hot wife. He peaked in college while most of us peaked in high school.

Not sure you can do this, but I’d do this: a conditional 1st or 2nd in 2019 & a conditional 1st or 2nd in 2020, based on numerical performance metrics.

Great move for NO & they get a guy who is around the same experience and age that Drew Brees had when he came to NO in 2006.

He’s got a weaker arm, sub Chad Pennington in a climate that isn’t conducive to average arms. Wtf did they draft Allen? Remember what Beane said he wanted in a QB. Also Peterman got concussed in 2017 vs Colts. Allen has shown he’s got the arm, and the physicality to drive the ball threw the conditions. To that end he must be named the starter.

I’d never let a talking head in the media decide the development and hence fate of my franchise. The coaches know (we all know) and can see that Peterman lacks outside the numbers velocity to be a serviceable and long term QB. How many throws do we need to see outside the numbers that demonstrate this? That aside, Allen is extremely raw, probably rather than Big Ben in 2004. He’s got a ways to go, but like any good franchise & coach you have to take this rookie season as a learning process. Smarter heads will prevail & Allen will be named the day 1 starter.

Let’s be honest: Peterman at 23 sucked. Peterman at 24 is better. Allen at 22 is looking serviceable. Allen at 23, 24 we don’t know. I like Allen, but I’m willing to admit to this point Peterman is slightly better in 2018. All of that aside the question is does McD & Beane think playing Allen in 2018 help his development more than developing Peterman? You have to wonder if watching the tape of every Peterman out route & hitch demonstrate his physical limitations to the point they are willing to take the Allen rookie growing pains? I believe when the dust settles they will select Allen as their starter.

I liked Rosen more but that does not mean that Allen can’t prove me wrong.

So it’s not all on the QB, and it takes time & patience to develop even a HOFer? So the smart guys on here say sit him & “wait out” the growing pains. Stupid. Play him and give him the baptism by fire. So when he’s in the playoffs 2-4 years down the road he has this early experience to pull from.

If we play this out conservatively a similar argument could be made next year that Allen is not ready and has limited experience. This isn’t the 2004 Chargers with 4th year veteran Drew Brees. Peterman is not Drew Brees. Brees never had a game like Peterman had against LA last year. Furthermore Allen needs to take a beating in 2018 to learn. In 2004 rookie Big Ben was not ready but started nonetheless. He was told to play it conservatively and didn’t do much his first year statistically. I see Alleen enduring on the worse end an Aikman like 1989. On the top end we will get a Big Ben 2004 season. I don’t care about winning in 2018. This is all about letting the rookie battle through the growing pains.

Ducasse for Mack.

They should play Allen because the only way this kid is going to learn is by playing. Giving Allen a redshirt season isn’t going to do much except delay his development. Most QBs need to learn on the field. Holding a clipboard all season or half a season won’t prepare him for the actual game. He needs game experience. He’s going to struggle all QBs do. His struggles will resemble that of Troy Aikman 1989. A lot of people thought Aikman was a bust. But if the Bills are smart they’d allow their rookie time to play. If he goes 1-15 so be it. I’ll take a ‘lost’ season. we know Peterman & McCarron’s ceilings are low.

It’s messed up because the Madden player went full Call of Duty on his opponents. News flash kids, there are no extra lives in the real world.

If Peterman is named the starter how many picks will it take before he is benched?

Ducasse is the weakest link. Like a chain the OL is only as strong as it’s weakest link.

Not true. Some things can be fixed. He will need to get to the line earlier, diagnose presnap, and get the ball out early. I didn’t see many easy throws like you see Brady commonly gets, mainly WR screens, misdirections and 3-step hitches. He just will need time to get a handle of things. Benching him will delay that process.
