I think that is correct. But part of that is also I think by design. They WANT Allen to get a lot of playing time (probably the whole 2nd half) in the 1st pre-season game against 3rd stringers in the hope he has some success and it is a confidence builder. After that 1st game Allen will be "released" from his position anchored at the 3rd spot and it will then be a depth chart based purely on performance. Then Peterman will find himself 3rd. 1

BeginnersMind Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) 23 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: For some perspective on the likelihood of Peterman developing, here is a list. Since 2001 these are the QBs drafted in the 5th round or later: - Mike McMahon ... - Logan Woodside The best 3 players on the list are Tyrod, Fitz and McCarron. We always hear “yeah but Tom Brady.” The reality is that is a total outlier. 1 This list is great--I've shared it with a few people. I have to laugh that you identify McCarron as in the top 3 on that list though. He hasn't done jack, though he looks like the guy who might be starting week 1. Granted, having a pulse for 4 years in the NFL gets you into the top 7 of that list, but at least Trevor Simien was a starter for a time. Edited July 31, 2018 by BeginnersMind 1

Yeah, I’m comfortable dropping McCarron into the next tier with Siemian and Anderson. There are a handful of guys that can be debated for 3. I think it’s pretty tough to have anyone but Tyrod and Fitz as 1 & 2. It really is a truly awful list of sucktitude. Bruce Gradkowski is unquestionably in the top 10%. It really does provide some perspective as to what we are looking at.

Direct quote from the same article you're quoting: Peterman shows off the arm Josh Allen gets all the big headlines when it comes to the deep ball, but Peterman showed he can sling it when he needs to get downfield. Peterman found Cam Phillips on a rollout bomb in the end zone during 11-on-11 that brought the crowd to life at St. John Fisher. Where does it say there that he completed a 50 yard pass or, much less, threw a ball that travelled 50 yards in the air? Are you living in la la land? It was said on the radio by one of the bills reporters. Why don't you just give the Nate hate a break for a while and see how the next month goes. You must've cried and threw a fit when Trump got elected....lol...oh I forgot the reporter....may have been Chris brown, clearly said that it was 50yds in the air.

But as he’s rolling out and can’t set-up (throwing on the run) it’s still too late getting there giving DBs opportunities. — Sal Capaccio ? (@SalSports) July 26, 2018

Bing Bong Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I want Peterman to be a HOFer or a memorable franchise quarterback more than anyone. My screen name would be legendary. Short of that happening I want to see Josh Allen right away.. and I want wins.
