Seanbillsfan2206 Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 If he has another good practice then I’m probably gonna get his face tattooed on my butt 2
Figster Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Myself personally, I don't see Allen even in the mix to start day one of the regular season because regardless of what happens during TC and pre season live action in the regular season is impossible to duplicate. Different circumstances when Peterman was given his 1st chance to start whom is a very fast study and was still given TC, pre season and a good part of the regular season to learn a new O. Pure speculation, but its not happening in my humble opinion.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) The last time i was this excited to watch pre-season football was when we had Tyrod battling it out with EJ and Cassel. Can't wait for this three way competition to get started. 9 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: That's brutal. Maybe throw Peterman out there for the first three games.

Being a huge fan of the QB position and now our very own possible future superstar of the league in development my biggest concern is how well can we prepare, protect and support him which are 3 big question marks at this point IMO.

Yep. And we did a terrible job of preparing and protecting Peterman last year in his first start against the Chargers. One of the first three teams we will play this year. I'm fine with sitting Allen for the first quarter of the season unless he is looking unbelievably good in the preseason. 1 2

It's all about Allen's readiness regardless of the opponent. Should he show he can handle the offense with the best production in camp/preseason then play him in week 1. If not, fine with AJM starting the season. 1

Do you honestly think TC or preseason against vanilla Defenses is going to give Buffalo anything concrete to base an opinion? 1

Of course the complexity of the coverage and pressure will be different once the real games begin, but that won't deter the coaches if they feel Allen is ready just as it hasn't with other rookie QBs around the league.

The best player should start. Plain and simple.

Nope, but it can be an indicator. All last season McDermott said Nate wasn’t ready and he wouldn’t throw him out there w/o a good reason. 1

The new coaching/ O installation along with the Oline reconstruction would make starting Josh Allen early on risky business in my humble opinion 26. Young QB's with sub par protection are more likely to develop bad habits IMO. 2

Believe me, I understand your trepidation with the supporting cast that on paper is not very strong and I'm sure the coaches will take everything into consideration when they make their decision. 1
