The reason for these decisions is solely due to McClappy's ego. He thinks himself to be able to make any player a good NFL starter at any position who he deems fits his "culture".

Mickey Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 2 hours ago, Fadingpain said: The same can be said of Josh Allen... Umm....not true. Minnesota game. Has Peterman had a single regular season win? Allen has two. Peterman has had nothing but disasters and most were in his second year, not his first year. Allen played for a small town high school, a small town Juco and then a small college. Peterman played for a big HS in Florida (over 2,500 students and the Patriots once used their field as their practice field before a super bowl). Peterman went to Tennessee and then to Pitt, both big time programs with top notch coaching and training facilities. Peterman had a whole year to sit behind a solid veteran. All Allen had to learn from was AJ and Peterman and he was playing by the second half of his first game. Peterman has to stand on his own regardless of what anyone thinks about Allen's future and so far he has been an abject, unmitigated failure. On the plus side, in terms of drafting highly next year, he is the best investment we ever made.

You asked what were the coaches supposed to do, I said start the best QB. I'm talking about the Chargers game. Coach's job is to have an idea if he's starting an NFL QB after practicing 6 months in.
jwhit34 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Logan Thomas was taken higher than AJ McCarron. Amazing how many of the late round QBs have been on the Bills (even for training camp/preseason - ? not 100% sure they were here): 2003: Gibran Hamdan 2004: Losman 2005: Cassel, Fitz, Derek Anderson, Orton 2006: VInce Young, Matt Leinert (?), Travaris Jackson 2007: Kevin Kolb, Trent Edwards, Tyler Thigpen 2008: Brian Brohm, Matt Flynn (?) 2010: Levi Brown, Joe Webb 2011: Tyrod Taylor, TJ Yates 2013: EJ, Barkley 2014: Logan Thomas, McCarron 2016: Cardale Jones 2017: Peterman 2018: Allen 1

Sorry mrs Peterman, your right what else could they do but start your boy. Oh yeah, they could have actually brought someone in capable of playing even mediocre football in the NFL instead of starting the season with almost 0 NFL experience at the QB position. After the mess of the Baltimore game, they could have brought in options to have a somewhat capable backup QB behind Allen instead of waiting til over 1/3 of the season is over. But how could you give up on the gem that is Nate and all that promise he has shown in the half games he makes it through in his starts? You cant just give up on a guy like that....... 7 hours ago, Fadingpain said: The same can be said of Josh Allen, and that applies to his entire football career, but for the incredibly high price we paid to get him. That and the fact that McBeane are literally gambling their jobs on his success are the only reasons why he will be given every chance to succeed here. But he shouldn't be in that position. He should be sitting on the back burner as a make or break project while the real QB plays football for the Bills. Right, b/c the Bills organization has no history of any kind doing business with middling journeyman talents at the QB position! This is the franchise that just had AJ McCarron in camp and has been playing Derek Anderson off the street! To name a couple of names from the last few months! You really aren't tuned in, are you? Except that Allen had some success in college, enough that scouts had him as a 1st rounder with the potential to be one of the best from the draft of he reached his potential. Some even said it was possible he could go 1st overall. I'm sure Nate had similar scouting reports on him. I remember the debates by the writers who fought over how Nate was going to go 1st overall ........ I wont argue that he should be sitting and watching, and that it seems crazy that these guys would hitch the careers on the biggest boom/bust prospect at the position. Even crazier that they didnt spend the offseason putting every resource into getting him as much talent as possible to surround him and the best coaches and experts to work with him.

I thought this same thing about Logan and McCarron. Shows this braintrust and the Bills FO in general have made some poor decisions. A couple of other points of interest to me were how many QB's were taken in some years and how QB's have moved to the top of the draft recently making late round finds more difficult. People rave about Brady being a 6th rounder, but the truth is that he was the 7th QB taken in the draft. Now that's a 2nd or 3rd round pick. What I'm hoping for is that this draft is a redo of 2004 with 4 QB's taken in the first, but we had the 4th choice of JP. This time we had the 3rd of the group and I'm praying Allen becomes our Rothlesbuger and Rosen is JP2. At least we drafted in a deep class and there could be 3-4 franchise guys. Looking back at 2013, that was one of the worst years ever for QB's. We took the #1 QB off the board and it was EJ. That's just pathetic.Imagine first shot at a QB in some of those other years. We'd be set.

Funny how early on it was thought of one of the best, then horrible fools gold with all busts (luck and RGIII) with Russel Wilson the only good grab to now with Foles SB MVP, heck Osweiler with some starts in a SB winning season, Cousins, and Russell Wilson winning a SB. Tannehill at least starting as long as he is, although i don't get the Dolphins holding their breath with him by this point. Didn't realize all those guys were in the same draft plus Luck HAS to rebound to at least rookie form at some point (which was really darn good). He already has....Luck has lit the NFL up in terms of passing yards and TDs thus far this year, here are his stats for 8 games: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/clt/2018.htm#all_passing No. Player ▼ Age Pos G GS QBrec Cmp Att Cmp% Yds TD TD% Int Int% Lng Y/A AY/A Y/C Y/G Rate QBR Sk Yds NY/A ANY/A Sk% 4QC GWD 12 Andrew Luck 29 QB 8 8 3-5-0 225 342 65.8 2187 23 6.7 8 2.3 42 6.4 6.7 9.7 273.4 96.2 65.4 10 76 6.00 6.28 2.8 1 1
Billsfan1972 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I want Allen to do well as the Bills invested a lot in him. The other #1's to date like Allen have been a little bit of a mixed bag. The issue is this coaching staff and their idiocy in ignoring the offensive side of the ball and their continual trotting out of NP and blind support of him. That is why I started the thread to show the stupidity of the entire Process and how they approached the QB position. Edited November 9, 2018 by Billsfan1972

Yeah, he is the backup to the #1 overall pick in this years draft, it was their plan all along to start Taylor until they felt Mayfield should take the reins. It's not like Mayfield is just blowing the league away with his play that they have no choice but to bench Taylor.

At least Cleveland had a plan and a QB. The Bills had Peterman. BTW Clevelend as we all know Fired both their HC & OC.
