ORCHARD PARK Devin Singletary Jersey Draft , N.Y. (AP) — It appears as if journeyman quarterback Matt Barkley's successful debut as the Buffalo Bills starter will be limited to one outing.A day after a 41-10 win at the New York Jets, in which Barkley breathed life into an anemic offense in his first NFL start in nearly two years, coach Sean McDermott on Monday announced rookie Josh Allen will reclaim the starting job once he's healthy.With the Bills entering their bye week, there's a very good chance of Allen being back behind center on Nov. 25, when Buffalo (3-7) next takes the field hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars. "Josh is our starter when healthy, and his development is important for him and for us as we move forward, getting experience," McDermott said. "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."One quarterback who will no longer be in the mix is turnover-prone backup Nathan Peterman, who was released by the Bills later in the day.Allen is 2-3 as a starter, and has missed four games since spraining his right throwing elbow. The first-round draft pick began testing his arm on Nov. 2 Devin Singletary NFL Jersey , and spent all of last week practicing on a limited basis. He wasn't ruled out from playing against the Jets until Saturday.McDermott said Allen continues to make progress and threw passes earlier in the day.Allen's status, however, doesn't diminish what Barkley accomplished in helping Buffalo snap a four-game skid less than two weeks after signing with the Bills."I liked the look in his eye and the energy he gave our offense," McDermott said of Barkley, now on his sixth team in six seasons.In being the fourth quarterback to start for the Bills this season, Barkley was the first to complete two touchdown passes, including one to left tackle Dion Dawkins, and finishing 15 of 25 for 232 yards passing. He oversaw an offense that set season-highs in points, total yards (451), yards rushing (212), first downs (23) and converted eight of 16 third-down opportunities.The 41 points alone topped the 33 Buffalo combined to score in its previous four games Devin Singletary NFL Draft , and marked nearly half of the 96 points the Bills scored through their first nine games.Just as important, Barkley didn't commit a turnover after Buffalo's quarterbacks combined for 12 interceptions — three of them returned for touchdowns — and three lost fumbles in their previous six games.Rookie Robert Foster had three catches for 105 yards receiving in becoming Buffalo's first player to top 100 since Deonte Thompson had 107 in a 30-27 win over Tampa Bay on Oct. 22, 2017.Even running back LeSean McCoy benefited by scoring twice to end a 10-game scoring drought, dating to last season. With 113 yards rushing, McCoy also topped 100 for the first time since gaining 156 on a snow-covered field in a 13-7 overtime win against Indianapolis last Dec. 10."I knew that I could play in this league," Barkley said after improving his career record to 2-5. "I don't want to be cliche by saying it's like riding a bike, but I've done this for years. I believe I was made to play football, and tonight was just an example of going out there and doing what I was made to do."In the big picture, the Bills are grooming Allen — not Barkley — to be their long-term starter."There's something to be said for energy and momentum and what not, but at the same time I know what Josh can do," McDermott said Devin Singletary Buffalo Bills Jersey , when asked if he considered sticking with the hot hand in Barkley.Perhaps, he added, Barkley provided Allen a blueprint of how the Bills can succeed.Allen showed the telltale signs of being a rookie in going 75 of 139 for 832 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions in five-plus games before he was hurt. Allen also had 155 yards rushing and three touchdowns, though he was occasionally knocked for being too eager to scramble out of the pocket.Peterman was released after McDermott said he maintained confidence in the second-year player.That wasn't apparent in McDermott's actions in starting Barkley against the Jets, a week after Peterman threw three interceptions in a 41-9 loss to Chicago. Peterman was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 draft out of Pittsburgh and wound up throwing 13 interceptions in nine career appearances, including playoffs.Peterman began this year as the starter, before losing the job early in the third quarter of a 47-3 season-opening loss at Baltimore.He's best remembered for throwing five interceptions in the first half of his first career start in a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers a little under a year ago.Derek Anderson is the third quarterback on Buffalo's roster, and has missed two games because of a concussion. Down at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane took the time to talk about the draft philosophy he and head coach Sean McDermott employ—specifically, their preference for experienced college players. In an interview transcribed by newyorkupstate.com Color Rush Devin Singletary Jersey , Buffalo’s general manager talked about drafting six seniors last season, all Senior Bowl participants.“I do think you find guys that have been through their senior year and weren’t always touted as the five-star recruit (or) the blue chip player,” Beane said. “A guy that’s more mature than sometimes underclassmen may be. I do think there’s something to that. Sean and I are very thorough on (players) being smart, mature, culture, all those things. And I think you find that some guys find out who they are later in their career than maybe they were when they first got to whatever school they were at.”When you look at the team’s draft record the past two years since Sean McDermott joined the team, you do start to see a pattern. The Buffalo Bills famously drafted nothing but seniors in 2017, including class standouts Tre’Davious White and Matt Milano. Then last year, they selected five seniors: Harrison Phillips, Taron Johnson, Siran Neal Youth Devin Singletary Jersey , Wyatt Teller and Austin Proehl. Seventh-overall selection Josh Allen was not a senior of course but, as he was an early graduate of Wyoming, he was able to participate in the 2018 Senior Bowl. We’ll see if this trend continues in the 2019 Draft, but the early returns on this strategy have been largely encouraging. One thing is for sure, Beane is happy to no longer be in the quarterback market.
