    QB's rarely throw over 30 yards. That's why arm strength is overrated. It's all about timing and accuracy. 

     

    I would not say rarely and arm strength is not overrated 

     

    Kellen Moore would be a very good QB if he had better arm strength... he has all the timing and accuracy you want 

     

    Aaron Rodgers has used his arm strength to his advantage his whole career 

     

    A good QB throws 30+ yards downfield atleast a few times a game. I have yet to see Peterman do it in a live game yet

    "if you want it bad enough and you work hard enough you can make it happen in America"

     

    So, I'm 5'8" , 170 lbs, 60 yrs old.  If I work really really hard, can I play DT for the Bills? 

     

    When you were 18 you could’ve worked your butt off and played scat back or safety . Gotten a D1 offer and drafted to the league 

     

    at 5’8 I’m sorry but I can’t see you being an effective 300+LBs ... especially at 60 ? jkjk

     

    we need as much depth as possible

    yeah, but everyone knows him as the guy that threw five picks in a half. historically bad. i'm sure he wants that taste out of his mouth. and i am also pretty sure that he will have to move mountains in order to silence some of his harsher critics. not to mention, there will be a large contingent of fans screaming for the rookie with every drive not resulting in a td. that is some serious pressure.

     

    Casual NFL fans have no idea who Nathan Peterman is. He is playing with house money 

     

    no one expects anything great and we have a young kid waiting on deck... if he plays good it is a bonus for us because we can win games this year, give Allen some competition to win the job, and have some trade bait in the future

     

    or we have a long term backup

    It's the 'flip' I'm worried about - on the play in the clip I linked, I dunno if it counts as a whiff, but both DEs remained on their feet and bore down on Peterman....

    ....the good news is the ball was already gone.

     

    The bad news is, if the WR had tripped or failed to gain separation, Peterman better chuck it OOB PTQ if he wants to finish the game

     

    Found this highlight from camp of Peterman launching one

    https://www.buffalobills.com/video/camp-highlight-peterman-to-phillips-touchdown

     

     

    I would say the RT semi whiffed and the LT did not do great because his man hurdles him

     

    a clean cut at the LoS leaves the defender completely out of the play

    Agreed.   I guess I was keying on "Most plays have someone going deep to stretch the field. Whether a 9 route or deep post ".

    I agree that if they put in extra blockers and chip they can dial up a deep route, more thinking that the "most plays" deep guy isn't gonna see much action

     

    Just watched a Cover1 analysis of a few Peterman plays in the Panthers game  and he pointed out something I have not been aware of  - reliance on cuts by our OT (it's at 9:40)

    Cover1 points out the positives of this strategy and praises the scheming by Daboll, but of course the negative is if the QB does not get the ball out lickety-split or the play busts up downfield, chances are you now have two big, athletic DE who stayed on their feet and are coming for the QB like a pair of deranged bookends.   Tell me why I should agree with Cover1 that this is a Good Thing

     

    Cut blocking with Tackles on pass protection has been used in the quick hitting passing game for a while

     

    it can make the D end think twice about how fast he wants to shoot upfield, knowing now that he might eat the turf hard at fast pace 

     

    it also immediately takes a defender out of the play...

     

    it can be used successfully on quick passing plays and back side screens and such...

     

    on the flip... a whiff of a cut leaves your QB on a 1 way trip to the concussion tent...

     

    on the positive... Dawkins and Mills are 2 maulers who are more physical players than finesse blockers 

     

    Dawkins excelled at cutting at Temple

     

    Bill Belichick has used this technique over The years

    We did see it on the 1st drive vs Carolina. I'm begging them to call a hitch and go on the very 1st play. You know the Ravens will be thinking INT early in this game. 

     

    What ball on the first drive traveled 30+ yards in the air? I don’t recall

    22 minutes ago, billsherd said:

    I thought he threw one long ball to either Benjamin or one of our back up receivers in the 1st preseason game. 

    The ball traveled around 17 yards In the air on a Benjamin TD... doesn’t really qualify as a deep ball

    I tend to disagree. 

     

    When he came out (and no, I dont care what round he was drafted in) hehad a small amount of buzz around him. In his first chance like it or not, he became a national punchline. Any man with any self worth is going to strive to prove himself. Now, as I stated no, he's not likely to be a franchise QB for any team. But he can still be what I believe he would have become . A back up, spot starter. I could easily still see him (if he shows well this year) having a Todd Collins/Chase Daniel type career.

     

    Yes, as I said the only person he has to prove anything to is himself 

     

    he can certainly become a capable backup but he can certainly fail... thats why I wouldn’t say IVE NEVER SEEN a player with that much to prove... he was projected as a backup, not a starter 

     

    he doesnt have that much pressure on him except the pressure he creates 

  8. 9 minutes ago, No Place To Hyde said:

    I've never seen him play a game from start to finish. 

     

    I've never seen him win a game as the starting QB that didn't involve what an insurence agency would classify an "Act of God".

     

    I've never seen him quit either. 

     

    I've never seen him make excuses.

     

    I've never seen him work harder than he did this off-season to improve.

     

    I've never seen a player with so much to prove.

     

    While I don't expect Nate to look like Rodgers 2.0 I am hopeful that the work he put in during the off-season and the addition of Brian Daboll can show he is at the very least a servicible spot starter in the NFL.

    He doesn’t have that much to prove. He is a 5th round QB who is keeping the seat warm for a first round pick 

     

    Nobody expected him to be anything other than MAYBE a backup... except  saviorpeterman ... he should only be trying to prove to himself he can play.. not care about anyone else

    Do you think our OL can hold long enough to let a WR get deep? 

     

    That depends hapless... do I think we can go 3-4 wide with only 5 lineman and dial up a deep play? No

     

    Do I think Daboll can go singleback or I form, keep in some extra blockers and dial up a PA shot play? Yes

    Correct.  Also in the eyes of the law, there was technically no murder.

     

    He was originally charged with murder, along with his two buddies, but Lewis "flipped" and testified as state's witness.

    Both men were acquitted on grounds of "self defense", meaning as I understand it " In the eyes of the court, no murder took place. "

     

    That would be correct

    This is the winner ?. I don't get how people  don't talk about the murders ray Lewis committed. 

     

    I haven’t re looked back at that case in years but iirc nobody says anything about the Ray Lewis “murders” because he did not commit them

     

    he was a witness iirc

  11. From all of his preseason play from last year, his regular season appearances and his preseason this year

     

    Was the ability to throw over the top of a defense to keep them honest... yes a quick rhythm passing game is nice, but it’s only effective for so long if you cannot stretch the Defense 

     

    even Fitz attempted and has pushed the ball downfield, with success and failure 

     

    eventually CBs and Safeties will sit on the underneath routes and jam up passing lanes if   Peterman shows he will not throw downfield

     

    Hopefully he takes some calculated shots downfield this Sunday to Benjamin and Company to open up some room for Shady, ivory and Murphy

    The best a MAC school can hope for is an undefeated season and a shot at a Power 5 school in a major, but not playoff, bowl game. Kind of like Northern Illinois vs Florida State in the 2013 Orange Bowl.

    I wouldn’t say that is the best case, but most realistic ... if a MAC team can become a perennial powerhouse... and say win 4 straight MAC titles while going undefeated back to back seasons they may get a wildcard bid to the playoffs 

     

    like Boise State going to Fiesta bowl. 1 great season for UCF or any MAC school wouldn’t be enough but 4 in a row would imo

    Man Chan Gailey was bad.

     

    Would woulda thunk it? Other than every human.

    I don’t think he was great but Gailey had worse talent than McDermott, Ryan , Marrone and probably every coach on that list 

     

    His #1 receiver was a 7th round pick who freelanced routes and 2 undrafteds in Donald jones and David Nelson 

     

    not too mention not much talent on D... he still had our offense way more competent than it has been for most of the 21st century

    I believe that someday the bowl system will be replaced with a full playoff format.

     

     

    There is just too much money with the bowl system 

     

    they might expand the playoffs to 8-12 teams eventually but they will never get rid of bowls imo

     

    that is what makes college football, college football... a bowl game for a small school like UB is major. Especially since their change of making the rose bowl or a college playoff bowl are super duper slim

    Whilst in the Navy, I did LSD three times.  Can't got popped for LSD via urinalysis.  Never did it on the ship or at work.

     

    It was the most fun I've ever had, as far as being in an altered state goes.

     

    Shortly after getting out of the Navy, I was at a friend's party.  He had some of his college friends over.  One of them was this girl whose arms would both go up into a "robot" position (forearms parallel to the floor) unless she consciously put them down or used them.

     

    This was permanent neurological damage as a result of dropping bad acid.  That's when I decided I'd never do it again and I won't.  Just too dangerous.

     

    Shrooms are on my list of things to try.  I have access to weed whenever I want it; I just choose not to smoke it.  I agree with you guys re: weed and shrooms; but LSD ... that **** is poison (but so !@#$ing fun).

     

    Cant go wrong with the magic mushrooms my friend... not bad at all for your body

     

    eat an 1/8 or if you dare a 1/4 and you will unlock the secrets to the universe... and they make you really really happy?
