    Peterman is our starting QB, and you’re comparing M. Ryan and N. Foles to him? 

     

    His two showings last year were a complete and utter embarrassment. 

     

    Our confidence in Peterman should be and is 0.0

     

    If this is a down year, it will be because of our poor qb play. 

     

    It better not be a down year...

     

     

    Wasn’t 0.0 his QB ranking yesterday. 

     

    Lol.

    No offense intended, but in today’s environment I don’t put much stock into anonymously sourced information. ?

     

    Yeah. Just trying to share what I heard. Obviously this is nothing breaking, just a thought of an exec with the Bills. 

     

    Really shows the disfunction. 

     

    I don’t think They are happy with Beane or McD.

  3. This morning, I had a conversation with a Bills Executive, who wishes to remain anonymous. This was his thought on the game and general status of the team. 

     

    “Allen showed composure. I like some of the movement under Dabol.

     

    The free agents, o-line and peterman are a waste.

     

    Tampa 2,3 zone 8 yards back made Flacco look like Montana. This is what happens when a insecurity replaces judgement in turning over roster.

     

    Darby for Jordan Matthews. Marcel for a 5th, Watkins, Tyrod and Glenn for picks never selected. Coleman cut Even Benjamin for a third looked like a bust.

     

    Let's just hope I am overreacting and next week we rebound against a team flying west to east. Last night, on a podcast,  Mel Kiper predicted the Bills to have the worst record in football, losing their first 8. Let's hope not.

     

    There is no plan for Allen, however, will now remain the starter”

    Seriously.. 

     

    Obviously. 

     

    What’s up with that fat dudes glowing eyes? And why is he staring at a mans butt? And the All caps? And that Creepy smile? I wonder where his hands are?

     

    That picture implies man, it implies...

    I look forward to the day when I can call a Bills GM a huge disappointment a few years after winning a Super Bowl. 

     

    Bills winning a Super Bowl!! ? ? ? 

     

    Then you want them to be as bad as the broncos, just so you could call them a huge disappointment ? ? ? 

     

    Funny but completely unrealistic. 

     

    Elway is on the hot seat...

    ... and not in the way you think.  In fact, it may have very little to do with him.  But it's his situation- THIS situation- that makes it inherently difficult for him, as well as the Bills.  Let me explain.  First of all, what I was afraid would happen if Peterman won the job HAS happened.  Not just "Joe" (largely informed) "Fan" but also the media- Colin Cowherd each of the last two days has corroborated this, to cite but one example- are snickering at Peterman starting because of the "five picks in one half" performance he may never live down.  And Peterman beating out Allen naturally leads to more snickers, "Wow, if Josh Allen can't even beat out Nathan Peterman"... Josh Allen can't win from the perspective that it was widely acknowledged leading up to the draft, even among Allen supporters, that he required patience.  But then when he's granted that patience it's not because he's not ready as much as it's perceived he'll never be ready, if he can't beat up the "abominable" likes of Nathan Peterman.

     

    That's just one problem.

     

    The other problem is... this is the NFL in 2018.  How patient are Bills fans- and the Bills themselves- willing to be?  I'm absolutely willing to be patient; Allen has demonstrated enough to make me believe that he isn't the fundamentally lost cause many summarily dismissed him as pre-draft... but the Bills' surrounding cast, skill position "weaponry" and especially our offensive line, has also demonstrated enough that they could really threaten to undo any of the progress Allen has made and have him running for his life, locking onto targets, suffering mechanically, and even suffering serious injury (we were all lucky he remained unscathed from preseason's week #3) if he's out there playing any time soon.

     

    I understand that trading up for Allen/Edmunds cost of 5 of our top-65 picks.  But it was still inexcusable to do so little with our remaining draft capital- not until deep in day #3- to provide some offensive help for the highest QB we've ever taken.  Yes, I know that will be addressed in time, specifically next offseason.  But QB's don't get the same time now that they used to.

     

    Yes, I'm willing to be patient.  But in the new CBA (signed 7 years ago)... QB's are MUCH easier to move on from than before- the financial commitment/entanglement is just no longer there.  We didn't sign Allen to a 6-year, $78 million dollar deal with $50 million guaranteed like Sam Bradford did in 2010 (or Stafford the year before... or Alex Smith four years before, who lasted 8 years in San Francisco despite atrocious early career play).  Remember the outcry by many when Doug Marrone benched E.J. Manuel after week #4 of just his sophomore season?  "You don't- you CAN'T- bench a QB after just 15-20 starts!?  He needs at least 30."  Well, we did, and other than a week 17 game in 2016 to spite Tyrod and the recently fired Rex Manuel never started another game.  

     

    Just two years ago the Broncos traded up in the 1st-round to draft Paxton Lynch.  Well, a mere four starts later- those four starts were evidently enough- and he's not only not starting; he isn't even on Denver's roster.  There's also some consensus that 2016 #1 overall pick Jared Goff was another really bad year in 2017- if it resembled 2016- from quite possibly the Rams looking for the next guy.

     

    I'm not saying that any of this is right- I'm just saying that it 'is,' at least how other teams have operated recently, given that the CBA allows teams to extricate out of lesser high 1st-round contracts and given irrationally impatient owners & fanbases.  I'm willing to give Allen the time he needs but Buffalo must be, too.  And unfortunately we don't have an Alex Smith having his best statistical season and leading the Chiefs to a divisional title to obscure that our rookie is sitting.  Instead we have Nathan Peterman and the jokes that follow.
