Make them sorry WR’s do some blocking and hit McCoy on some short passes and let his legs get some yardage. They have options they just have to get a little more creative with their play calling. Both QB’s are pretty much rookies so simplify the offense around what the QB’s can do and let them both develop into what they want them to do. No Allen will be fine he will have a helmet and pads on so let them design plays for Allen as Nate couldn't hit the side of the barn consistently when it matters and wish I was wrong but he's a backup that need way more time then Allen way more, It's a new era for the good! Let's hope Allen is the one!

I thought Josh Allen played ok and actually lifted the spirits and play of the team IMO. Trust me when I say this is not how I wanted Allens development to go , but starting Peterman over Allen sends the wrong message to the team IMO. If we as fans could feel a big let down of seeing Peterman start over Allen the players would in all likelihood feel it even more in my humble opinion. Edited September 11, 2018 by Figster

Oh I agree 100% but with how bad the team is playing right now if they start JA and this sorry play keeps up his confidence will be shot. He’s the best prospect we’ve had in a long time so I’d rather lose some games and let him develop into the franchise QB I think he could be. 27 minutes ago, NFLBighits said: No Allen will be fine he will have a helmet and pads on so let them design plays for Allen as Nate couldn't hit the side of the barn consistently when it matters and wish I was wrong but he's a backup that need way more time then Allen way more, It's a new era for the good! Let's hope Allen is the one! Man my fingers are crossed and hoping with all hope. I just don’t want JA to become another Tim Couch. Beat to death before we really see how much he’s capable of.

The way I see it Allens fast delivery and velocity helps protect his play makers and his athleticism and pocket awareness makes the Oline better IMO.

People keep acting like he's fragile this kid didn't have any offers out of high school and fought like hell to finally get a shot that doesn't seem like a person whose confidence is fragile. 1

Man you right and I know he’s twice the athlete NP is. To get where he’s got he’s got to be mentally tough. I would just like for him to get use to the speed of the game before he takes the reins for good. I look at QB’s like Aaron Rogers who got to develop the right way. But he had BF to sit behind. Just in most cases rookie QB get washed up and beat to death before they really get a chance to shine. And us not having a QB prospect at his level in so long I just want him as ready as possible. But man I’m with ya. 16 minutes ago, Figster said: At the expense of the whole team though?

I would just hate the speed of the game to cripple our best prospect in years before he’s ready. But I believe he came in knowing he is a developmental QB. He’s got the goods no doubt I’d just like to see him fine tuned a bit more. 1

Just at the end of preseason it seemed they were all fired up on NP. I just don’t know if the team is ready to give up on him after 1 game. And I’d about bet they’ll keep him in till mid season at least. More if he wins some. Coach’s don’t like to flip flop they usually ride it out till they have to say ok this ain’t working. 1

Either he's gonna sink or swim or work in progress and he has great leadership and can sling the f..ing ball where most can't, he just needs reps to get his first season under his belt. It's possible he lifts this team to greater heights but will see.

It's better to admit a mistake and try to rectify it than to go down with the ship.
Mantis Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 18 hours ago, Scott7975 said: I don’t care if Allen looks like crap. He has to take his lumps. If we trot out Allen and he goes 4-11 over the next 15 games (which is highly likely given this O-line), this same fan base that is clamoring for Allen, will be calling him a bust and clamoring for us to draft a QB with out first round pick next year. I, for one, am willing to be patient while Allen takes his lumps. But the truth is that most of this fan base will give Allen no more than four to six games of looking "like crap" (or even being sub par) before calling him a bust. I honestly wonder if McDermott isn't protecting Allen from us.

I’d imagine that the number is rising today. McDermott has said some things to people and then acted differently. There are (and were) a few that hate(d) him. It had nothing to do with the Tyrod situation either. I think naturally that’s what people assume. He actually apologized to the team about that. It has more to do with people’s roles. He has been straight with everyone. Weren’t you smoking that just last week? Out of curiosity, how is it that you are privy to this kind of information?

gridrick Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 put him in and leave him in for the rest of the season. You cant pull him out once he's in. Many a good young qb ruined that way. Jacking around with his head. They already screwed up letting Mccarron go and being stuck with just Peterson. If he wont admit to his mistakes publicly then everyone in that locker room at least should know already Josh is the guy.
