Expand What is this actually going to do? He sees that Anderson prepares differently? How? He studies film? I'm guessing Allen already does this. Is anyone doubting Alen's commitment or how he prepares? No. The value of Anderson is having him in Allen's ear WHILE ALLEN IS THE STARTER. Not watching journeyman Derek Anderson play football.

Mark92 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Well there goes the playoffs ?. Looks like 4 weeks minimum for a mild sprain. Who knows how bad his injury is though.

Expand This QB has been around long enough to have seen everything and if they simplify the offense he should do okay. Mostly all he should be doing is handing off to McCoy, Ivory in a limited passing scheme. Daboll's offense wasn't going to fool defenses anyway so reduce it to round 20 scripted plays with dump offs, screens to Shady. With Anderson running the offense we will soon see what an experienced NFL QB can do with this surrounding cast. All he really need do is not pull a Peterman and not turn the ball over.

I think Thad Lewis played with 7 day prep when he played here a number of years ago Anderson is vet, he should be able to pick up the game plan that's installed this week.

Anderson was brought in to mentor. Peterman at this point is the sacrificial lamb.

HappyDays Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Quote There is now concern for a UCL sprain with structural damage. The test is called a milking sign, and the immediate reaction to pain indicates there is damage to the UCL, which is also commonly called the Tommy John ligament for its frequent reconstruction in baseball pitchers. Allen remained in the game for one play after the hit that injured his elbow and on that pass winced in pain. Throwing a football would certainly stress this ligament, and his reaction after the pass is another sign of the injury. The week-to-week prognosis Bills coach Sean McDermott gave may be typical optimistic "coach speak.” And McDermott is not entirely inaccurate. It will be week-to-week, but a good outcome for the Bills would be a return by Allen some time in November. Throwing, especially deep and when driving the ball, relies on the UCL. If a doctor pulling on his thumb caused extreme pain, the forces when throwing a deep out, which are much greater, would be problematic for Allen. I’m not saying Allen needs Tommy John surgery, as there can be partial tears and sprains that can heal with rest and rehab. But it won’t happen this month. It is rare for a quarterback to need Tommy John surgery, as a QB’s throws involves different forces than a pitcher. Former Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme in 2007 is the most recent example I can think of in the NFL, while dozens of major league pitchers have undergone the surgery this year alone. I’m not ready to say Allen’s season is done or that he needs surgery. But he will be hard-pressed to play the next few weeks based on his reaction to the test on his elbow. Expand Who's ready for one month of Derek Anderson?

Expand Im bummed for the kid but I’d be a lot more upset for the team if he was throwing for 250 yds per game. Since he’s not, he can sit and absorb and watch Anderson lead them to about 13 pts per game and hopefully more passing yardage.
