And probably millions of dollars by playing him and making him a whipping boy/punchline.
Looking at the list of NFL back-ups and third-stringers, NP could well have been a very competent back-up QB and one of the greatest pre-season practise players of all-time. Four years as a back-up with almost no NFL playing time and yes maybe he would have learned, watched and then was given an opportunity much more mature and capable. Maybe he would have succeeded.
Look at his predecessor Tyrod Taylor.
Very simply I feel somewhat sorry for Peterman and blame McD for creating this sham that all started with him and his dismantling of the O in 2017 and the terrible offensive coaching and playcalling.They are to blame for putting Peterman in when he wasn't ready and not giving him the tools (players and schemes) to succeed and ruining what as said could have been a nice career as a buck-up.I say this in the kindest was possible. You are delusional.

Hasn’t McD made it clear on Friday that the depth chart is 1. Allen 2. Anderson 3. Peterman. It’s either Allen or Peterman, and DA is out.
I have a feeling Allen starts tomorrow.
I think/hope Barkley is ahead of Peterman on the depth chart.

You've got Stockholm syndrome my friend.
You don't ship out all those pieces last year, accumulate picks then decide because you won a few games you'll give up a third for Benjamin. You don't draft a QB surround him with nothing, ship out a good tackle because you drafted a decent tackle. You don't take after you get the QB and MLB.
It's not a tank. That's a very convenient excuse for what this is. This is ineptitude.
Why keep looking in the past. That accomplishes absolutely nothing. It is so much better to look forward. Each to his own.

This board is loaded with passionate Bills fans. I have written a few responses and started threads similar to yours.
It is difficult to see our team play so badly, but threads like this will hopefully help keep our eyes on the future.
Thank you for your voice of reason.

Nate played QB last week? (prior to DA getting concussed at the final 2 Minutes)
Or in the COLTS game?
The last TD pass was by Nate to Zay in the Houston game.
The TD that broke the streak was Nate on a QB sneak.
We all know Nate isn't THE guy. But changing what was doesn't help in any discussion.
There is still hope.
Sorry. These inept qb outings all run together. It is just a blur to me. Peterman / Anderson.. What difference does it make. Neither one has any future with this team, hopefully.

This could be a fun game. What's the age limit? How old is too old to mention them?
Anyone 35 or less that has played in a NFL game within the last two years. How does that work for starters?

The sad thing is that he has an absolutely valid point. Not saying that I want him back on the Bills, but there are at least a few qb's without jobs that I would rather see out there then Peterman.
I can not identify any out of work qbs that are of playing age that are not better than Peterman.

If my memory serves me correct this season is much worse than a couple years ago under Rex. Under Rex the team was very competitive and was almost in every single game that is played. Why did Ryan only get 2 years but with McDermott it's an automatic that he's coming back?
?
My feeling is that he had a loaded defense from the previous coach and he destroyed it. He seemed that he did not have any viable plan. He hired his brother. He was a clown. Just a few examples. Just my opinion.

Don't forget the 3 picks or zero TDs, too.
I am trying to forget all of the picks.

Out of all the games we could talk about Peterman... why today? What did he do so bad today! How about we talk about Benjamin or that loser o line instead
He directed the offense to 9 points???

Wasn’t he the last QB to score a TD?
Pass to Zay?
He was also the quarterback responsible for the 38 possession dry streek.

Sure, why not. At worst, he would be as bad as Peterman. We have nothing to loose.

The bills are doing exactly what they are trying to do get a top 5 pick in this next draft
i don’t like how bad they look on offense either but the fact is they are trying to avoid overpaying for free agents in the offseason to fix this mess
you do that by drafting high because less of a chance to screw it up
This season is LOST it was always going to be LOST if you can get your mind wrapped around that it will help with your sanity
It does not matter if you lose by 1 or 100 a loss is a loss
This team is tanking so it can acquire blue chip talent and not have to pay for it they are going to target specific free agents and draft at the big money positions
be patient
You expressed my feelings exactly. The over reactions each week I find very comical. The season is hard to take, but we have to keep our eyes on the future.

Peterman wasn’t great, but today he was far from the reason that they lost.
If he has to play next week, i could watch. 3 turnovers were not his fault at all. One bumbled pick courtesy of Pryor, one uncalled PI and another deflection INT and finally, completion and fumble by Croom.
i am not delusional to the point that I think Peterman is good, but he was far from the worst part of this offense today.
I agree with you. But he does not raise the level of the players around him. I still believe in Allen's future. Peterman is not an NFL caliber qb. We need to move on from him when our other qb's are available to play. He has thrown 3tds -8 ints. His completion percentage is 45.7%. Qb rating of 31.4. Just because he got some bad breaks on his ints today does not absolve him of his consistent poor play. Just my opinion.

That is one game closer to the end of Peterman's career.

If the Bills want to get better they need to nail the draft.I don't trust McDermott to make the picks we need.
Again, we are doomed. All is lost.....

A few things:
1. There are a lot of teams with massive amounts of cap space.
2. The free agent class at WR and OL is terrible.
Ok. So I guess we are doomed.

Cincinnati's success in Lewis's tenure would be an upgrade.....
They placed those financial restrictions on themselves........
Yes it was. It was needed to open up opportunities to obtain better players next year. The Bills will have one of the best financial situations going into the off season. This depressing season is one we just have work through. It is hard to fairly evaluate coaching performances on the offensive side of the ball with such a lack of talent.

The problem isn't firing the coach every 3 years, it's constantly hiring the wrong coaches.
McDermott has proven to be completely incompetent as a head coach on the offensive side of the ball.
That's not going to miraculously change next year...
It may if we shore up the offensive line. Get better receivers and drop Peterman. Keep in mind that this management team had severe financial restrictions placed on them, so they were limited on who they could sign.

This team is bad , and shouldnone should be let go for this , basically not scoring a touchdown in 3 games is somthing that needs to be fixed ASAP
How do you get a playoff team to this .. very sad very typical of this front office
change before you start to lose support
You can't keep changing the head coach or gm every two or three years. Every week we have this over reaction. This year will be hard to deal with, but hopefully it will pay dividends in the years to come.
Keep in mind a handful of geniuses on this board called for the head of Tyrod because he wasn't winning games the "right way" by not throwing for 300 yards. If we had his skill set of mobility and ball protection this year, we may have 5 wins.

A hard earned TD. By Nate. Hopefully he is cut tomorrow keep the ball kid.
Peterman will be with the Bills all season. I can't see McDermott cutting Peterman during the season. I would like to see it, but I don't think it will happen until seasons end.

Lol.

I would sign Bradford just for insurance. He would not last long as a starter with the beating he would get playing behind or O line.
Today’s game does not ease my concerns about McDermott

I doubt anything would erase your concerns. McDermott coached a team that over achieved to the playoffs in his first year. This was to be a tear down year to get out from under our dead money. We could win five or six games this year. Your expectations are unrealistic.
