BuffaloRush Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) 05-25 John Clayton on Schopp and Bulldog http://www.wgr550.com/media/podcast/schopp-and-bulldog So I guess John Clayton is coming to Buffalo for a Fatasy Football convention this summer. He was on Schopp and Bulldog to promote it a bit but did talk some Bills. Of course, they asked when the Bills should play Allen. John said they should follow KC’s lead and start him in December like Mahomes did - when he played a meaningless game in Week 17. Surprisingly he was down on Chicago starting Trubisky in Week 5 and felt it was too early. This comment kind of made me scratch my head because many others have said you need to get him on the field sooner. Obviously not the first week but at some point before Week 17. The other difference is that the Bills might not have a QB on the roster that can perform like an Alex Smith who had one of his best seasons statiscally in 2017. So the gab between McCarron and Allen might not be as large. Im going to guess that Allen starts in Week 10 Of the season which would be November. Still I think Clayton is off on this one Edited May 27, 2018 by BuffaloRush
Jamie Nails Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Clayton is off on a lot of things. I don’t find much of what he says particularly insightful. 3

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 John Clayton knows less about the Bills then 90% of this board. I never understood why a local station, has a national guy come on to speak about the Bills? He knows nothing about the Bills. Why would any of us care what his opinion of them is? 5 1
billsbackto81 Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Best scenario for who? That's"worst case" scenario. Everybody is writing off this year as a building year with no shot at postseason play. KC had a competent playoff caliber QB above Mahomes, we have McCarron. If AJ plays well you ride with him and let Josh develop. If Josh wins the starting gig outright then cross your fingers.
BringBackFergy Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 John Clayton is, perhaps, the most knowledgeable analyst I ever heard. He has his ear to all insider info and doesn’t mints words. I would head his advice. 3
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Someone remind me. Did KC make the playoffs? 2

How dare he. I’ve read some Clayton’s stuff. Hes done some crappy reporting on the Bills.

Kirby Jackson Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 It’s not a complicated answer at all. You play a guy when he is ready. Some guys are ready week 1, some need a year. There is no right answer. 11

Still I think Clayton is off on this one It is amazing that his opinion is considered at all. Can't stand him. I believe his only credential is that he was chased home by a football player when he was in school.
tumaro02 Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Irrelevant analyst speaking on the Irrelevant and Mouth radio show? How could anything that anyone of them say mean anything? 1
Dr.Sack Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Best case scenario Allen beats out McCarron & Peterman in the preseason. 3

Best case scenario is any of them becoming a franchise QB for the Bills. Although it's most likely Allen because he's the only one that hasn't failed a shot because he hasn't had a shot yet.
