In my best Brando voice, betting sites for NFL are errand boys, sent by grocery clerks, to collect the Bills. Last season, Buffalo returned to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. Cynics like me will say that that had to do more with Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton than anyone else. And Bills fans reacted accordingly, donating over $250,000 to the Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation. However, that would detract from Tyrod Taylor’s contributions to the team. Taylor may not be an elite QB, but he did have the thankless job of being Buffalo’s signal-caller. And he was underappreciated as well. Nathan Peterman, anybody?
And speaking of Peterman, at the time being, it’s down to him, AJ McCarron, and Josh Allen. Peterman threw six picks in three games in 2017. He threw five of those interception in one single half. The sixth cost the Bills their Wild Card game against the Jags.

McCarron played 11 games and started three in four years with the Bengals. Make that three. He didn’t get a single snap in his rookie year. He has thrown for 920 yards with six TDs and two picks in his pro career. That leaves rookie Josh Allen, whom the Bills selected as the 7th overall pick in the first round of the 2018 draft. Allen threw for 5066 yards with 44 TDs and 21 picks in three years with the Wyoming Cowboys. Additionally, he rushed for 767 yards and 12 TDs. On paper, the rookie will be the third stringer behind McCarron and Peterman. But if he’s any worse than those two, then he should’ve finished his education and gotten a degree. Because he’d really need it in that case.
