It's the end of an error!

It certainly appeared that his time on the practice squad did him some good. Maybe it humbled him and motivated him? Regardless, I hope he uses this past week as a building block instead of proving it's an aberration.

In doing cursory research to try to answer your question I stumbled upon this gem. Man I love Wikipedia sometimes! And Wikipedia has already corrected it...

Doesn't he have to get offered a decent salary to really be a factor? The way he's been playing he might get vet minimum for a 1 year prove-it.

I don't really care if they come from FA or the Draft, but we need to replace C, RG, and RT and that is the order I'd prioritize them in. Dawkins at LT and Teller at LG are a decent start. Alternatively, if they are in a position to draft a premier LT, I could see the argument to move Dawkins to LG and bump Teller over to RG.

Of the 241 QBs the throw at least 65 passes since 1998, all of them have been better than Peterman. How much better will Barkley be is the real question.

He's a QB3 now because of how catastrophically he failed as QB1. Jason Croom makes $480k and also has 1 year experience. I guess the Bills are breaking the rules. Nathan Peterman makes what he does because it is the standard contract for a late round draft pick on his rookie deal. His contract amount has absolutely no bearing on his expectations or abilities in his second year. Using his pay to try to justify his awful play is pathetically twisted logic.

You really need to pause and educate yourself. You're consistently trying to justify historically bad QB play by contract details that aren't even factually accurate, a depth chart position that isn't correct, and blaming it on an incompetent coach even though the same coach is the only reason he's on an NFL roster. I don't know if Nate's your cousin, maybe you went to school with him or something, but his play is historically bad and he is not an NFL caliber player. There's nothing wrong with that. Most people in America are not NFL caliber players.

Nah, he's more of an insurance salesman.

You must've missed Cousins (dropped due to the lack of success of his predecessors in the same system and his skin colour)

If you win 5 games by 3 and then get blown out in your only loss by 30 points your point differential is negative, but your record is 5-1. Using season long point differential is rather meaningless. As for the injuries, I left them out because every team deals with injuries, and not all losses are the same. Can you tell me who exactly we lost to injury on Defense? I have no idea how they weighted who, when, or why. The only 2 that come to mind for me are Aaron Williams who had his neck issues, and Kyle Williams in 2015, though he did play for ~1/3 of the season. No, because I don't consider Football Outsiders an authority over all stats. Their DVOA metric for offense and defense are very good. DVOA for quarterbacks is pretty bad. Adjusted Games Lost is something I've never given any credence to whatsoever.

In 2017 you forgot that in a single drive he went 1 of 3 for 7 yards, fumbled, had an intentional grounding call, and then threw an INT.

And yet there's a pretty good metric out there called DVOA. And the ranks were as follows: 2013: O=25th, D=4th 2014: O=26th, D=2nd 2015: O=9th, D=24th 2016: O=10th, D=27th 2017: O=26th, D=15th 2018: O=32nd, D=2nd You don't think going from 2nd to 24th is destroying the Defense? It's the same kind of drop off as going from 10th to 32nd on Offense.

Based on this year alone a lot of QBs are better than Brady. He's been pretty good, but not his normal exceptional.

I have 2 issues with this train of thought. First: On opening day he wasn't a 3rd stringer, he was the starting QB. His play for that initial half of the season is what sent him from starter to sitting behind a street FA who was signed the week of the game. Second: 3rd string QBs, if they are present on a roster at all, are generally developmental prospects with high upside. Peterman has no upside, and thus is not even an adequate 3rd string QB.

His average Air Yards per Completion was -0.4.

I had us at 5-11 and I thought our win range was anywhere between 3 and 7, depending on how early and how well Josh Allen played.

It was a record setting performance.

I know he's a well respected coach, by reputation. I also know that he was the WR coach in KC the year their WRs caught 0 TDs from Alex Smith all season, which feels kind of like the Juan Castillo of WR Coaches.

It is hard to have confidence in the unproven.

If he went to Alabama instead of Georgia NASA would be trying to get him into space.

And Dorsey.

He does bring an attitude to the WR corps that they seem to be desperately missing.

And between that TD and yesterday's he also threw a TD pass to Jonathan Joseph and a TD pass to Leonard Floyd
