Not good and all time horrendous are two very different things. (Has Castillo ever been good?) No need to rush. Maybe in a few weeks, after the gauntlet, sure.
downunderbill Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 If Allen had a competent line and receivers he'd look as ready as any of the QBs.
Buffalo03 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Allen is a grown man. He can handle it. Play him
Augie Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Just now, Fadingpain said: I disagree with the myth that says a QB can be "ruined". Allen will rise or fall to the level of his own ability, eventually. Having said that, the organization basically made it clear that Allen was not ready. That's why he didn't start Week 1. So to start him now makes them look very bad. To continue playing Peterman also makes them look bad. Peterman would not be given a shot by any other team in the NFL but our coaching staff just can't let him go. Lastly, we should have kept AJ as the go-between who plays until Allen is ready, but we shipped him out of town, also making the organization look bad. Whole lotta bad looking stuff going on around here. Respectfully, it is not about THIS year. We got something for AJ where we could not for Nate. It WILL be Allen going forward. The question is when, and we just need to look down the road instead of focusing on the roadkill we all just watched Sunday. It will be Allen, then next year we will find our #2.

Aussie Joe Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 If Allen is not ready to start, then poor old Nate is certainly not...
K-9 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I appreciate the concern, but I don't see how you're gonna convince 31 other teams not to rush Allen as rushing the QB is a time honored defensive tactic. Maybe we can convince teams to count 3 Mississippi before rushing Allen. Edited September 11, 2018 by K-9

They made the correct move and took the deal. McCarron couldn’t beat out Peterman or Allen not sure why people think he would have made any difference out there yesterday.
Beast Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) He is a man that has been playing football his whole life. If he isn’t better than Peterman, right this very second, the Bills made a colossal mistake in selecting him 7th overall. IMO, Allen is also mentally tough and will be able to endure a tough season....all the while learning on the job. This kid won’t wilt like a flower. Edited September 11, 2018 by Binghamton Beast
BillsPride12 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 On the bright side at least he won't look any worse than Matthew Stafford does tonight

The combination of problems on the OL and at WR would make it difficult for a seasoned vet to even look decent. Allen is a raw prospect who played at a low level of competition. If he is thrust into the lineup with expectations that he can somehow turn this moribund offense around, the Bills will be looking for a new QB in the draft next year because fans and media will run Allen out of town. Allen is nowhere near ready and his supporting cast is awful. Compare what we've seen of Allen vs Sam Darnold with the Jets. Darnold is much more ready to play now. He processes what he sees faster and he does not have mechanical issues to fix as Allen does. Play Allen with this group at your peril and expect to hear people compare him to EJ Manuel by season's end. We'll go 0-16 with Peterman 1

At the very least they should shout "Blitz" a few seconds before they rush so McD and Castillo can diagnose what went wrong during film study.

A 7th AND a 7th in two different transactions. ZERO causal relationship, but a coincidence. That’s what it costs to take a flyer on a player.

Beane just covering his mistakes... Not sure what one has to do with the other. Team took a shot on a WR on a team devoid of speed on the outside. It didn’t work out can’t fault them for trying. Reporters covering practices and watching McCarron play in the preseason shown me he was not going to be the answer on this team. Skittish in the pocket and slow in getting the ball out is a recipe for disaster. There was a reason he played the entire last preseason game. They were showcasing him to other teams in hopes of making a deal as he might have been cut anyway.. Edited September 11, 2018 by billieve420

Lol Im sure this will be mentioned in an interview with beane at some point.
