Just Joshin' Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 It really was the only choice. If a coach preaches competition then you need to start the player who performed the best which was Peterman. This does not change the fact that Allen is the future and the future gets a chance to continue his development. 1

How does Allen develop to be better than Peterman who has a year edge on him and will now get all the game experience and first team snaps? At some point you have to start Allen unless whoever else is playing develops into a franchise guy and take your lumps as he works through being a rookie. I think its the right move because I don't think Peterman will last long as the starter and doing it this way will force fans to have more patience with Allen once its proven that Nate is not the answer. If somehow Nate plays like a franchise guy then everyone is happy. That is what makes sense to me, not the "best chance to win" standard. If that was the standard then we should have kept Tyrod and had a QB competition between him, Nate and Josh. How does he develop? Practice. Film study.

Best throw of the season by any QB on roster was Peterman to KB vs LAC. Of course I think it was this play KB got hurt. Good QBs make this throw multiple times a game, but absence makes the heart grow fonder I suppose.
BmarvB Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 It's about time! He earned it. Now put a functional line in front of him!
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Congrats to Nate. He performed well in preseason and lets hope he plays well in the season. GO BILLS!!! 1

He may surprise Hmm. He looked pretty good last preseason too. Let's hope he looks good in the regular season this time. 1

Yes, and, oh yeah, the most important part, not having his head slapped against the ground and becoming shell shocked in one year because the oline can’t protect him because he’s raw and holds the ball too long!!

CommonCents Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I hope he gets lost on his way to Baltimore.
Virgil Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 His redemption would be amazing if he blew out the Chargers 3 1 1
