I'm always optimistic at the start of the season. This year I will only expect Buffalo to win 9 or more games is if Allen wins the job in preseason. If Allen doesn't start I have little faith in the offense. Neither McCarron or Peterman I see winning more games than losing. Allen offers the best potential, the sooner he realizes/ reaches that potential the better the Bill's will be.

Peterman starting week 1 makes me throw up in my mouth.

In most professions you cannot anoint a leader. By making Allen the third QB he will have to out perform the other QBs. They want to see how he does in the game. Is he Lamar Jackson? Or Deshaun Watson last year? Practice is one thing but how do you handle yourself when the intensity is higher? If Allen shines he becomes a real threat and favorite to start sooner rather than later. If he falters they keep the same course and try to improve each week.

This. Add in it's the same defense he has faced all camp. McCarron and or Peterman struggle against a very good Carolina defense. Allen has some chemistry with Foster Proehl, Mcloud, has the best stat sheet and highlight throws. They want a Qb to earn it on the field. I expect Allen to do that and then it becomes difficult to not play the guy with more talent when he is more productive.

Same reason Buffalo got a 4th for Ragland, a 6th for Daures. New regime getting rid of top picks from the previous regime that so far haven't materialized. Never a bad idea taking flyers on first rounders still on their rookie deal. Injuries and poor qb play. At worst he is what Goodwin was, at best he could be Brandin Cooks. When Allen eventually takes over they now have a guy who can run under Allen's moonshots.

Isn't Condon Allen's agent?

We will know more Thursday night. Imo the fix is in. It's being set up for Allen. He is basically getting all the reps with the guys he will play with Thursday. Similar defense that he faces daily. Second half single high safety man or zone not much blitzing. I expect Allen to have the best stat sheet and highlights. That happens he splits first team reps next week.

Coleman has barrels of potential. Since drafted has played with 6 QBs and battled injuries for 2 years. Perfect buy low scenario. Give him a few weeks of learning the playbook before getting him on the field. He has the ability to be Brandin Cooks for us. Benjamin, Coleman, Kerley, Jones is not a bad Wr Corp.

Adds a dimension missing from the offense. Buffalo needed a deep threat. Allen and Coleman could be a great combo.

Flip Lawson for a wr. Coleman or treadwell. Both have under performed based on draft position. Both are the third or fourth options on their teams.

Then why is Peterman getting 1 rep ?

Only a matter of time. At this rate Allen gets the first go in preseason 1 and it is a wrap.

He has the most talent and the team invested the most in him. If he can do some of the other things they expect out of McCarron or Peterman he wins.

McCarron was the least impressive Qb in the spring. Peterman was dumpster fire as rookie. He ultimately threw the season ending Int the last time he played. This is even money. Vegas probably would have Allen as the favorite.

Until he proves it on field he will always have detractors. Time will tell. Basically, you have the analytic marvel with Mayfiled and the prototype Qb prospect in Allen. We shall she how this plays out. Right now he has said and done all the right things in Buffalo. Personally, I think and hope Allen becomes the starter in camp and he never looks back.

I disagree. Bell in FA gets 3 years 50 all guaranteed. Zeke will get more than Gurley. RBs will be the first position at the top to take 1 or 2 years less for more guaranteed money. Gurley's deal is pretty much 3 years 45 mil.

Imo Allen is the starter week 1 or becomes it before the end of week 2. Allen is doing all the small stuff while also having the most talent. When he is out working the other guys what's the point of not playing the more talented guy? Run game, defense, 2 or 3 big pass plays a game is a decent formula to win.

Has good size and speed. I think at best he starts at Sam and is the other nickel linebacker. At worst he is the 4th linebaker and spells for all three starters. Overall good pick up. Alexander at this point needs to be a situational player and this allows that.

They are dead legged. Murray was ran into the ground and one of the reasons Murlarkley was not retained. I would trade for a teams second back. David Johnson Cle, Tevin Coleman Atl. Would take a mid rd pick but worth it to me.

Exec's that have survived cut the cord quickly. With the capital invested that is not an option. Beane and a lesser extent McDermott are both liable. If Allen busts and Taylor leads Cleveland to the playoffs they never hold the same positions in the NFL again.

To be worst I feel high expectations needed to be had. Todd Collins was god awful and suppose replacement for Kelly. Troup because only the 2000's Bill's could pass on drafting local boy Rob Gronkoski. He played like a rookie 7th rd pick. When late rd picks play as rookies they are what they are IMO.

Seems like they broke up he wants her out of his house. Got lawyers involved and a day before a court hearing this surfaced ?. With what happened in Philly a few years back McCoy will get a game or 2. Regaurdless of facts. I would talk to Cleveland about Duke Johnson or look into finding an all purpose back as insurance. I don't really believe the allegations because of the circumstances but in today's NFL guilty until proven more guilty.

Rosen vs Allen. Do you want ceiling of Farve or ceiling of Ryan. Ones a hall of fame super MVP the other remains to be seen. Give me Farve all day every day. Good defense and a few big plays wins games and early.

He is incredibly talented. Comes down to what kind of kid he is. Poor academics are one thing. Is there any other off the field things? Can learn an NFL defensive scheme? For a 3rd with Buffalo holding 2 4ths I think it's a reasonable gamble. I expect multiple teams put in picks for him, comes down to rd and positioning.

Yes. Ironically, he is a browns fan. Most of my family are Bill's fan. The first game I went to was Buffalo vs Denver. Elway vs Kelly.
