Peterman will get the nod. Allen will take over somewhere between week 5-10 when it becomes clear we're out of the playoff race. Allen will then be benched before the season is out when it becomes clear he just isn't the guy.

Has anyone followed his career closely enough to get an idea of what type of offense he likes to run? He was OC for some pretty brutal offenses in Cleveland and Miami but he's also moved around some since. I have no feel for what to expect from him which is kind of exciting but also a little scary.

No. If anything this helps clarify things for the team. Wish that would have been done sooner, but we have 5th rounder for our troubles. Now Peterman gets his chance to prove he can be a franchise QB rather than just a placeholder. Fingers crossed. Also, it opens up another roster spot on a team that needs all the extra roster spots it can get. Put plainly, the Bills just don't have enough talent in the building for luxuries like keeping three QBs.

Is Bodine really going to start over Groy? Also, I can't believe we're going into the season with Ducasse starting at LG. If Teller isn't ready then surely there's a recently released guard out there capable of taking that job. Maybe trading away all our top picks for a QB who doesn't know how to play QB and a mike LB who probably needs to be a will LB wasn't the smartest move after all. It's not like they didn't know OL was a huge concern going into the draft. I feel like there's an appropriate level of concern right now.

Needs... QB To be clear, I desperately want to be proven wrong and for Allen to work out. I'm just not feeling it yet.

Has anyone bought into Allen yet? I just can't get there. When has teaching a kid how to be a QB when he's never proven capable of being an elite QB at lower levels ever worked? He doesn't make quick decisions. He doesn't make the right decisions. He isn't accurate with the football. He doesn't appear to have good touch on his passes. This guy looks like taller JP Losman out there. It's not like all this info wasn't available going into the draft. Yet Beane and McDermott pay the price equivalent of the number one overall pick to move to seven to take him. Between the Allen reach, throwing away all that draft capital, and all the Carolina re-treads, I'm starting to lose faith in this new regime. That's the worst part. I actually bought in to those guys. Please someone convince me I'm wrong. Edit: my biggest fear is McDermott will wait until week 8-10 to play Allen, and then pass on a legit QB with our inevitable top 5 pick because Allen needs more time. I sincerely hope we give him the chance to prove boom or bust this year.
