Whats even more silly is thinking we can predict a QB's ceiling before he even hits an NFL playing field against opposition in my humble opinion PTR. ...noodle arm... ...its hopeless...

Its easy to say a 5th round draft pick will become a backup at best and be correct because its typical of QB's drafted in any round IMO.

Makes more sense, thanks

Meaninful enough to critique Peterman's arm strength...

Not enough mustard, yet completions, ok...

Unlikely by way of odds perhaps , but when you look at Petermans skill set the only part of his game that is in question is arm strength.(IMO) Velocity can be improved , having good touch on the football is more important then throwing laser shots that are lower and easier to pick off IMO. Petermans pin point accuracy and excellent field vision is what sets him apart from other QB's in his class in my humble opinion. Sure, we can say the odds are low from a numbers standpoint of a 5th round QB making a big splash in the NFL , but I suggest taking a real good look at what the player brings to the table before counting him out from becoming a succesful starting QB in the NFL. The Clemson game was no fluke, this kid can play...

Thanks for the post/link When looking through them did you happen to notice how many higher round draft choices failed to succeed in the NFL and ever wonder how players like Kurt Warner slip under the radar. I don't know what the overall percentage for a QB drafted in the 1st round is to become a succesful starter in NFL over the last 15 years , but it would not surprise me If that percentage is very low.

Diamond in the rough... ( I try )

Lots of good argument/posts suggesting Peterman was drafted as a good value pick in the 5th round and I get that, but I also think theres a little roll of the dice looking for the next Tom Brady in the pick. Lots of good players still available with to many holes to fill which leads me to believe the Bills HC McD has high hopes for the young signal caller. Especially when you take into consideration you are running a fearless smaller framed QB into the teeth of the oppositions D. Peterman in all likelihood will see the football field at some point during the season in my humble opinion.

The silence of the lamb chops...

I believe the coaching staff trusted Taylor to protect the football , but I'm not sure how confident they were about Taylor winning games with his arm at crunch time. (because he didn't)

that probably doesn't help matters ( who likes to gamble )

She doesn't eat meat John, ...and she might go Bobbit... ...ouch...

A Smith catches allot of grief for his game management skills , but the man wins allot of football games, so I'm not taking that bet Kirby.

well done

...considering they drink coffee 24/7... ...I may be up here for awhile... ( sound of limb breaking ) ...or not...

haha, its to late my friend...

thanks for the polite reply, makes good sense, bama/McCarron fan and I like the QB comparison

No reason to draft someone way higher then projected even If you deemed a later round QB as possible starter IMO.

Peterman was drafted as a possible backup plan If Taylor struggles in my humble opinion

Curious, do you think McD drafted Peterman with career backup in mind ?

I'm going to go out on a limb and disagree with you on both McCarron and Peterman. with all due respect

He’s a political manipulator, but not an especially bright one. Or a bright FBI agent who could have played along with D T's wishes and possibly gained valuable intel instead of making himself and the bureau look bad by leaking part of an ongoing investigation to the media.

Media implosion perhaps...

Sure he did, guys got an answer for everything. DT's explanation might be something as simple as wanting an update on how the investigation was going because it was hindering Trumps ability to do his job as the president of the US with a cloud hanging over his administration.
