BuffaloRebound Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 This also gives the O Line some time to get better (they can’t get any worse I hope).
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Smart by FO not to be tempted by that incredible arm and put him in harm's way. Let him sit and learn his day will come. Until then it's Petermans turn to prove everyone wrong. 2
wppete Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Not a surprise: it’s the smart move with this offensive line. Let’s see what Peterman can do and let Allen learn and stay healthy on the bench until next year with all that cap room for FA.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I guess there is little need to say Nate is starting. Sorry I had the ignore feature on.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 In the meanwhile, I'll start buying a 6 pack for my Ravens fan buddy. We didn't even make a beer bet on the game this year, but ill spite drink it while we get throttled.

He'll have an opportunity to play at some point this season. with him on the sideline watching and going through the mental reps and seeing what's going on, that will be way more valuable to preparing him than getting tossed in there.
mannc Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Wonder if this will move the betting line. Probably not, since it’s not a surprise.

TPS Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 21 minutes ago, Mickey said: So he will never need game experience? First team snaps? At some point you have to hand the wheel over to him knowing he is going to bounce off a couple of curbs before he gets it right. Remember, NP got the start last year because TT wasn't giving them enough at the position AND more important what he was showing in practice.
simpleman Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Good for Nate, he earned it with his on field performance this year. I think everyone knows this is his audition for his future in the NFL. If he does well, he will have a shot at a decent career in the league. Everyone, I assume even he, knows he is strictly a placeholder here for Allen to soon either earn his spot or flame out later this year. He is in a tough spot with a horrible OLine and little help with his WRs. He might not get a lot of wins, but just doing well and not making a lot of mistakes will get him a chance somewhere in the league. It won't be easy, but if he keeps working and trying to improve, he can earn his place somewhere in the league.

I still think Allen will be starting at some point this season. Props to Peterman I guess... If the O-Line plays like it did in preseason, that could be anytime of opening day.

First off, you were wrong that he started the season as the Steelers Qb. Second, that Steelers team was LOADED. They had Ben as a game manager, throwing about 20 passed per game, he didn't throw more than 30 once his rookie season. 1
