twist_to_open Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Do you think Darnold's performance on Monday night put any additional pressure on McD to start our 1st round draft pick?

I hope Allen sits until Pickerman throws his picks and then Allen comes n. This doesn't make any sense at all after last Sunday. 2

No because giving Peterman any more meaningful snaps is a colossal waste of time. Allen will have his ups and downs as any Rookie QB will, but it's time to get things moving with his on field development and experience. Edited September 12, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz 2 3

It would really tarnsih the trip if Sweet nate Pete or davante nuggets were the starting QB that game. Playing in Minnesota the game before, I expect the Vikings to punish him and probably get called for illegal hits which which keep him from playing the following week ? I know it was garbage time, but he seemed to maneuver in the pocket WAY better than peterman could. Made the o line not look as bad.

Curt Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 The Bills didn't want to start Allen so early but by trading McCarron for a freaking 5th round pick they put themselves in that position. 3 1

MJS Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 This is smart for many reasons. No matter how bad the team is, fans will continue to watch because they want to see Allen develop. If he plays well? Win. If he struggles? He's a rookie developing.
oldmanfan Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 It was inevitable I suppose. I hope they bring a guy like Moore in as a vet in the film room. 3

The coaches asked Allen to do what they wanted, which was long developing routes without his LT and while rotating interior linemen. All Allen has proven at this point is that he is a quick learner and already significantly better than Nathan Peterman. 1
416BillsFan Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Hallelujah! I'm not expecting this to solve our woes for the season but let the kid develop. Not that I'm expecting Allen to be the next Peyton Manning but a season like the 1998 Colts where he learned and improved each week en route to a 3-13 record wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
