So many people though this guy was going to be a hot commodity for a trade and it turns out no one wanted him other than Cleveland which should tell you everything you need to know.  Then a lot of qb hungry teams passed on this guy till no one was left and Buffalo picked him up off the scrap heap and now if they throw him back to the curb you really think anyone wants him?

This is crazy.


Having said that he’s not getting cut.  Buffalo will probably start him week one if they can and he’ll be a stop gap till Allen is ready.

I'm not so sure.  I have no idea the details of his contract, but right now, if they are going to "go young" Peterman should be the stop-gap until Allen is ready.  McCarron would have been fine as the starter, but now he is missing valuable practice time with his injury.  And Peterman looks to be quite a bit more mobile than McCarron, which would be smart given the state of their offensive line.

Next year is the year Buffalo clears something like 80 million in cap space/bad contracts.  They aren't going to have the team this year, so I would hold off on Allen (who I heard many call the least NFL-ready QB of all the big rookies) and start Peterman.  McCarron could be available, but as I already stated, I think he would be gobbled up by another team.
