Not long, methinks. 

Josh Allen needed to go to a team with an established vet QB to keep him off the field as long as possible. 

Instead, he's got Peterman. 

Peterman turns over the reins.  ?

OMG! You know what that means...

Allen is White Kizer...

Interesting the median age for starting QBs is around 30 too.

And Tyrod is 29.1 right there for a few years if need be, Mayfield just waiting for the proper time to get in the contest.

How long until Josh Allen is the starter? Peterman stinks.

It feels like they are beginning a 2016/17 Browns tank job.

Or better yet..average games played.

This could be one of the youngest/least experienced year of starting qbs in the modern era.

Some of our fact checker guys should look into that.

Must just be my perspective and old age..

Get off my lawn!!!  Lol

Get off my post dammit!  Oh excuse me just had a senior moment......

And if you're one of those weird stat junkies here's some more numbers of the old time greats and current geezers, one conclusion 38-40 is the wall for even them:

Second year Nate Peterman named starter for Buffalo.

The 2018 NFL draft saw four quarterbacks taken in the first 10 picks: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen. Lamar Jackson was taken with the last pick of the first round to make a grad total of five quarterbacks taken in the first round, which is fairly high number. We haven’t seen five quarterbacks taken in the first round since 1999 when Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Dante Culpepper and Cade McNown were all taken in the first 12 picks.

As of right now, none of the first round quarterbacks drafted in 2018 are listed as the starting quarterback for their respective teams. That may change quickly once the games matter, but no team is beginning the season with a rookie as their starting quarterback this year (note that this may change while I am writing this).

If you look at the actual age of the current QB1 for every team and average them you find that the average age of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL right now is 30.3 years old. See the table below (the shorthand after the name is how the quarterback was acquired with 18/1 meaning 2018 first round pick - data is from www.ourlads.com)

There will be 16 starting quarterbacks 30 or older and 16 under the age of 30. Now if we swap out the four guys who are likely to lose their jobs to the four quarterbacks taken in the first 12 picks of the 2018 draft that average age goes down some, but not by much. The average age then goes to 29.1.
