COTC Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Starters typically don’t play the last preseason game. No. He won’t play.

Augie Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Buy Flutie a mirror, tell him how pretty he looks and trot him out there. We need our real options for when it counts.
Paulus Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 More importantly, how will Star do as an OG? That is why we got him, right? Grumble, Tolbert 2.0...
Passepartout Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Allen had the chance to seize the starting job. But seems like Peterman will be under center for week 1.
transplantbillsfan Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Yes, I think he plays. And if he plays, he still might start the season opener. This offseason is clearly not a typical offseason. McDermott might want to get his starting QB as many reps as possible tomorrow since there's been such a serious rotation since OTAs. Unfortunately, tomorrow doesn't answer who starts.
Estelle Getty Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Im usually a fan of the McBeane team but the QB situation should have been decided by now. They have the luxury of seeing thsm everyday in practice. It shouldnt have come to this. 2

They have the luxury of seeing thsm everyday in practice. It shouldnt have come to this. Why do you think the decision has not already been made? Of course the decision has been made. Do you think a few reps against 3rd, 4th, and 5th string guys is going to make any difference in who starts at Baltimore. Of course it won't. My guess is all three play with one guy getting one series followed by another getting two and the third playing the remainder of the game. I think it will be AJ, Nate, and then Allen. I think Mcd will play it safe and go with AJ to start the season. Of course if AJ doesn't play it will be a week of speculation as to whether that was due to injury or because he is the game 1 starter.
twist_to_open Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I can't help but think, based on nothing, that if AJM is healthy, he'll get the bulk of playing time based on McD's trend of giving his QB stable all equal time to access. AJ has some catching up to do.

I can tell McDermott is a tanking kind of guy. He tried it last year but the players just played better than he hoped. He'll finish the job this year.
ALF Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 All 3 Bill's QBs should be ok against Bear's 2nd string. Just be ready to call short pass routes if there is a good pass rush.
Solomon Grundy Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 10 hours ago, Steptide said: I honestly want him to play the entire game I agree. And I want him to, like Romo says, trust what he sees. If he throws INTs, so what. He needs to learn football on this level.

Plus, it makes one of the most worthless games ever somewhat interesting. I want to see all the conclusions drawn by reputable sports media and the 'click bait cronies' if Coach McDermott decided to give Allen the majority of the work.

If AJ is the starter after 1 average and 1 terrible game, god help us. He's been the worst of the QBs we have. Shown absolutely nothing. I really hoped he could be our Jimmy G.

Aussie Joe Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Well, AJ and Jimmy G got paid about the same this last offseason didnt they?
