"""Orchard Park, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills quarterback Matt Barkley exceeded all expectations Sunday with his 200-plus yard, two touchdown performance against the New York Jets. But the Bills are still rookie Josh Allen's team. """"Josh is our starter when healthy and his development is important for him and for us as we move forward, getting experience,"""" Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday after Buffalo's 41-10 win against the Jets. """"You've seen a lot of quarterbacks this season play and it's important that he gets as many reps as he can get in live game action."""" After Nathan Peterman won the starting job to start the season the belief was the Allen needed time to sit, watch and develop from the sidelines. But after Peterman struggled against Baltimore in the opener, he was pulled from the game and Allen was forced to play. McDermott kept Allen as the starter and he had an up-and-down stretch of five starts before suffering a sprained elbow against Houston in Week 6. Veteran Derek Anderson was named the starter for the next two games before he suffered a concussion and then Peterman started again in Week 9 versus the Bears. That game didn't go well for Peterman, either. He threw three more interceptions. He's thrown seven picks in three games and he only finished one of them."""
