Did you ever end up actually watching the game from Friday? Please tell me how if AJ was healthy, or Peterman are more ready.

That's the whole point. So far there's no reason to sit him. He's shown poise in the pocket even when it's collapsing around him, he hasn't made any "WTF was that?" throws, yet. He hasn't been the most accurate, but he has been the best so far. 3 straight scoring drives on Friday for 13 of the 19 points scored. Nick O'Leary beat a blown coverage for an easy TD with Peterman, McCarron did nothing, 4 straight 3 and outs.

I completely agree with you.

I think starting allen will fire up the fan base. I know russ. Brandon isnt running the hype train but, the kid will sell tickets too

If Allen doesn’t play well, then what?
Does he still start week 1 anyways?

I am not an NFL coach


there is a reason they are starting him


my guess is he is the best qb on the roster for when the o line collapses

Not yet
I will tonight though

My opinion is mostly based on week 1,
which i did watch closely

And again...
i don’t care at all if Peterman or Aj are better than Allen right now or not
(Although Peterman looked great week1)

I care about developing Allen correctly
He is the future
We can’t afford to screw it up just bc we don’t have a Favre to start while he gets “ready”

I would guess it depends on how bad he'd be, but he's already been named the starter for 6 days from now, the first game was like 2 hours before the game, the second one I'm not sure, but everyone assumed it would be Peterman. If you look at the way they've handled the whole thing everything points to him being the starter assuming he doesn't blow a tire.

If we're using your rigorous standards there's no such thing as a rookie QB who's ready week 1, ever.

Did Young make them better at all?
Nope
He just needed time to develop into a great QB
Come on man

The 2 plays that stood out were the TD, and the blown coverage by the WR or TE, whoever was supposed to pick up the DB that came free, and he didn't try and be a hero. Just took the sack, live to fight another day. That takes a long time for some guys to get and some never do they'll just chuck it up and hope for the best.

Well sure...
but that doesn’t have anything to do with it being best for Allen long term

I was 13 in 1984


I watched the games
and the drops
and the bucs o line collapse

Yeah, i agree

I just don’t know if that’s what’s best
I think it’s smart to take our time with him

the o line sucked for all 3 drives, and allen got points on all 3 drives


we were outclassed up to when allen got in by the f@cking browns

Do i need to list all the guys who started right away and didn’t do well?

I could do that
But it still won’t have a direct bearing on Allen’s situation
Just like your post doesn’t

- jdfitz77

Is there proof that if they say they would have been better?

your saying he needs to have time on the bench to learn


first you need to watch the game and see what he learned between week 1 and week 2

totally different qb

That’s not true at all

Do u really not see the difference between Andrew Luck & Josh Allen?

Come on now

And AGAIN...
if Allen doesn’t start week one,
how does that hurt him?
STILL WAITING

I literally said right after that it doesn’t

My point was that those comparisons (good or bad) hold no weight
And don’t hold bearing on Allen’s situation

Fair enough

But I’m still not dogging anyone else’s opinions here

If anyone is doing that it’s you,
like when u called me Gerbe
