But since Peterman got all the 1st team reps today, let's just downplay it to mean nothing more than simple alternating of 1st team reps between Peterman and McCarron. You're right. It means everything. Cling on!

Sean McDermott has a made a point that the rookies are going to earn it. Maybe that's why he had Allen with the third team while McCarron and Peterman rotated with the first team. Peterman was the first one to take reps, while McCarron jumped in second. The Bills spent a lot of time working on the running game and play action passing early in the practice. In total, Peterman threw 14 passes. By my count, he went 10-14 with an interception. The interception was a high pass that bounced off the hands of Nick O'Leary before Jordan Poyer snagged the pick. Missing passes high continues to be an issue for Peterman." http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/5-things-we-learned-from-Week-1-of-OTAs/612c9891-cfbe-4fb7-a6d4-3055992a2bd7 What's it like rotating with AJ and Peterman? 1 – Receivers focused on making plays, not QB rotation Right now, it’s of no concern to top wideout Kelvin Benjamin, even if the chemistry is not there yet. “I’ve always prided myself on catching any ball from any quarterback,” he said. “That was one of the reasons that Carolina drafted me. I can catch an inaccurate ball. So I’m always going to be there to catch the ball no matter who is throwing it.” Wonder if he meant both, or which one 5 hours ago, BurpleBull said: Meaning Nick O'Leary could have/ should have caught the pass, correct? Sarcastic response: Yeah, that's what it means. Every receiver or TE should be able to haul in every pass Realistic response: Depends on exactly how high and exactly where the pass was. If a pass is thrown in an awkward place where the WR has to reach for it and where if he fails to haul it in, the DB has an easy play, welp then. 4 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: It was simply Peterman's day to take 1st team reps as he's been alternating with AJM on a daily basis. Not much to it at this early stage of OTAs. According to several reports, it wasn't even "Peterman's day to take 1st team reps". Peterman and AJ both took 1st team reps. Peterman simply went first. " McCarron and Peterman rotated with the first team" " Peterman was the first one to take (first team) reps, while McCarron jumped in second."

Obviously the SD game last year will be hard to overcome in the minds of many including the coaches. He'll have to have some period of sustained improvement before people will have confidence in him and if you don't play it's hard to demonstrate that, but I think he'll get his chance somewhere at some point. Josh waiting a year is not a bad thing. 42 minutes ago, BuffaninATL said: Edited May 25, 2018 by BuffaninATL failed copy/paste w/ iphone

In college he was very good at throwing his receivers open. No reason to believe that with more work on his mechanics and more confidence entering year two, that this ability isn't put on display more often than in his rookie campaign. I agree with your last sentence completely. Expect him improve in every facet of the game. Thats how the NFL works. Bills had yet to toss him aside so he must be improving post Chargers game. How much is enough? I don't feel his ceiling is high and he might become a solid back up. But i feel AJ's ceiling might be the same. ( I have no solid opinion yet ) its all about waiting for Allen. I dont mind which guys starts if it is between Mc and Peterman. Better have a strong run game and good PP. wish them all well. Because if they improve ? Madden Team factor goes up 1-5 pts.

Now if McDermott is dead set against starting Allen at any point this season regardless of circumstance that would be different. It's open competition (right now) between AJ and Nate for a shot at #1. They have Josh at #3 (which I really like) to start. I would guess by the end of OTAs/MiniCamp a #1 will be selected. I personally think AJ will get it but you never know. Josh will be working with the 3's and sometimes the 2's and will compete with the loser for #2. If Josh can keep improving as a #2 he will get some #1 reps during camp. I think this is the right way to bring him around. The other advantage is Josh gets to have time with all the players at all the levels. I like that, it's good for his personal development. Like you said, this could be "over ruled" if they are dead set against Josh starting anytime during the season ( I would say not until later in the season). Edited May 24, 2018 by ColoradoBills

My guess is that all ten Peterman completions were of the unimpressive, dink-and-dunk variety. from BuffaloBills.com "Benjamin's best play on Thursday came on a play down the seam with Peterman hitting him in stride as he went straight up the field after the catch for what would've been a 20-yard pass play". Don't feel we'll be getting balanced performance reporting from posters in here. Peterman threw a pass too high that turned into a pick and McCarron's stat line was too unimpressive to be recorded or noted apparently. If it's not a McCarron sexy girlfriend sighting, or a sexy Josh Allen throw, I don't know that it's getting reported on in Twitterverse or in here.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Bitching about camp. It’s been a long offseason and we still have months to go. Forget the who sucks trash and get behind all of them. Their success is our success! 1

You name the stakes...
Magox Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) I hope that the best QB in camp wins the job and that McD doesn't sit Allen just for the sake of sitting his rookie QB. I think there is a 55% chance that Allen wins the QB starting job, a 35% chance that McCarron wins it and 10% Peterman. I don't discount Peterman because I don't think he is nearly as bad as his reputation from the peanut gallery but in all honesty, he is probably on the outside looking in. I do believe he will be given a fair chance but he faces a very uphill battle because his physical tools are the lesser of the three. Edited May 25, 2018 by Magox 3

It's not Allen's job to lose but I think he can absolutely win it.
