YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Given that the qb who starts game 3 is usually the one who will start the season, who do you think McDermott will start now that AJ is hurt? (This isn’t necessarily who you want to start, it’s who you think will start) Edited August 18, 2018 by YoloinOhio
Cripple Creek Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Allen. I know that there will be bumps in the road etc. etc. etc. but, he was, to me, clearly the best QB on the field last night for the Bills. He needs to take some pace of the ball on shorter throws & he needs to get the team out of the huddle more quickly. Edited August 18, 2018 by Cripple Creek
aristocrat Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Allen can make all the throws. Pete had a limited range 2

YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 I can honestly say I don’t know what McD will do. “Peterman’s revenge game” at home week 2 sounds exciting. 1 minute ago, aristocrat said: Allen can make all the throws. Pete had a limited range True and I hope it’s allen but McD loves Nate and he’s had a decent preseason
T master Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Allen he has earned it but they need to look at the O line because Ducasse is a liability & so is the RT if they don't protect any better than they did last night it won't matter who is back there ! Bodine didn't do any thing for me either it's time to let Groy take the reigns & lead the O line !!
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 McDermott needs to see how Allen does with the starting defense if he's gonna make a decision. If Allen doesn't start next game, I'd be shocked if Peterman isn't starter on Week 1.

Groy started vs Carolina. 1
YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 I wonder if McD will involve his vet leaders in the decision 1
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 The wording of the question is problematic. "WILL" versus "SHOULD" I'll bet McD goes with Peterman. He should go with Allen. 1

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Just now, YoloinOhio said: The wording is intentional. “Should” is a different question. I chose Allen, because the cheerleader in me desperately wants him to start. The rationalist in me attempts to think in the McDermott way and thinks he'll start Peterman. WHY SUCH A HARD QUESTION *tears* 1 1
TigerJ Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I don't think there would be that much to learn by starting Peterman. I'm assuming that the Bills are being honest in calling it a QB competition. The point of a QB competition is to learn about the relative strengths of your QBs. Therefor it only makes sense that Allen get evaluated in extended timne with the starters. However, in the third preseason game, starters often play 3 quarters. I think I would only play Allen into the second quarter, and then give Peterman time with the starters before wrapping up with the scrubs. 2
YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Kiper just said on radio that it would be a huge mistake to throw Allen out there in Baltimore and he expects them to start Peterman since he’s at least started and prepared for actual nfl defenses before. He loves Allen but noted he’s not seen anything yet like he willl see in the regular season when it comes to defenses. He indicated that behind that OL he could be ruined early on from a confidence standpoint. In the next breath he expects Darnold to start. Edited August 18, 2018 by YoloinOhio 2 4

Do people actually listen to what hair-boy has to say still?
RiotAct Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Allen gets the first drive, then they pull him to not risk any injuries since he’ll be starting Week 1.
SCBills Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) If Peterman can carry his preseason play to the regular season and cut down on lollipop throws like that sideline out, we’d probably win a lot of games with him. I’m just not ready to believe that’s the case. He might throw for 250-300 yards per game and a couple TDs as his upside but interceptions just seem to follow him. Even this preseason, 50/50 on him and Ivory but still a pick. Last night should’ve been a pick 6. Can he reel those bad throws in and/or can we win despite them? All i I know about Allen is that he JUMPS off the screen at you. He has that IT factor matched with the talent. Just seems pointless to delay the inevitable. If I’m McDermott, I start Josh Allen Game 3, and as long as he up to the occasion, name him Week 1 starter. Edited August 18, 2018 by SCBills 1

Not really but I did have some interest in what he had to say since iirc he was very high on Allen in the draft process
