1) those of you saying Allen is too mentally fragile to start as a rookie and should be spoon-fed until he’s able to walk, have to remember that Peterman had one of the most disasterous games in the history of the NFL - as a rookie - and he doesn’t seem to be any the worse for wear. So why do you think Allen would collapse under the pressure of getting beat a few times?
2) most impressive throw of the game for me was Allen’s third down throw to Holmes. He was on the money with a throw that HAS to be made 6, 7 times a game.
3) Allen is going to throw some picks, sure. But most of these will be down the field and almost as good as a punt. We all know what kind of INT Peterman is likely to throw - and those can end up being pick-sixes.
4) Let the kid take his lumps like Wentz and Goff did. The Bills probably won’t be that good this years, but who knows? With Allen at the helm, they could surprise. Does anyone think Peterman gives the Bills any chance at all of a good year?
5) I think so e of you need to tell McD and the rest of the coaching staff and team that this a rebuilding year. I don’t think they got the message. Have you already forgotten last year?
Start the kid. Let’s get him the experience he’s going to need to be able to make a real Super a bowl run in three years time.
