Give it a rest. Right now he has one of 32 jobs on the planet doing what he does, and he beat out a kid far more lauded, with far more investment and prestige, who looked much more the part than he did. Yet, he took it down. Somewhere out there in this big wide world, someone just may know something you don't.

Yea, after 3 years of being benched he figured it out. I'm sure Peterman will too. Brees play the first couple years is the reason the chargers drafted Eli Manning first overall. Sometimes it takes more than 2 halves of football to determine whether a player sucks or or becomes a first ballot hall of famer.

I have an issue with this take. Peterman made a very poor decision here and Thomas ran a god awful route. I had enough time to make a sandwich and a pot of coffee by the time he broke his route. If Brett favre throws that pass it gets broken up, best case scenario. Thomas never got the receiver to flip his hips, so he was able to break on the route full steam ahead. That is NEVER what you want, and unless you have enough buffer the pass should not be attempted. Thomas is not anywhere near athletic enough for that route/ doesn't have the route running , and he doesn't even square his shoulders to defend against the DB. He just leaves it wide open. WR coaches will tell you that alot of the time picks on comebacks and outs are the fault of WR not doing their job correctly. That's true here, but Peterman also has to realize that throw isn't there.

Because I'm hoping we keep Brees and trade Rivers.

I know how to judge it, with a scientifically precise tool. You keep using your eyes, and I'll stick to empirical evidence. Also, these are combine numbers, they can and do go up. Brees was clocked in 2010, in the height of his prime.

Brees has a weaker arm than Peterman...http://www.pass2win.com/ball-velocity-exposing-the-power-qb.html Drew Brees has never been known for having a cannon, but he makes up for that with timing, deadly accuracy, and technique. I've been making comparisons to Brees and Peterman for a while based mostly on the way they play and the situation they found themselves in on their rosters. Time will tell if he's able to put it together, but he's a smart kid who doesn't get rattled, and his skill set is shared by many really good QBs. He's got a hell of a mountain to climb, and I'm just hoping he gets that chance.

Like the ones on NFL.com?

He couldn't teach his own son to play.

Wow, thanks. I didn't know that. It's crazy they were both with the Saints. It's wild to think that although they missed guys right under their noses who would become very good NFL QBs, they never would have gotten Brees or won a Super Bowl if they had stuck with them.

What's the point of having one of the PS? They almost never make NFL rosters. The only time it makes sense is when you have an entrenched starter and backup, so the kid can run the scout team without worry of being hurt. I can't recall a single QB in my life that was developed on a practice squad. Can anyone?

Nothing they said is outlandish.

What would we do with our first round picks from the bears? Lb and WR?

He was the last pick of the 4th round. As a QB he's not even supposed to still be in the league. It would be more of a shock if he was decent.

This roster is significantly worse than last season. Our line was destroyed, shady is another year older, Preston Brown is going to be a pretty big loss until the kid learns the ropes, Brady isn't suspended this year, Miami and the Jets improved, probable reduction in turnover differential, no upgrades to wr, Kyle hurt, outside of Marcus Murphy no other player flashed even a little something in preseason, and we have one of the hardest schedules in the league. Those are a few of the reasons I have major reservations about this season. If we win 9 games this year, it means several key pieces stepped up and we're very close to being a very good team. I'm skeptical that happens.

Jonathan Cooper, Navorro Bowman, Kevin Minter, Breshad Perriman Michael Johnson is not that.

Tremaine Edmunds is 20 years old

This roster looks awful, top to bottom. We've got a ton of players on our 53 that I expect would have been on cut lists if this were another team. The part I'm having a tough time with is that most of the players here aren't very young. Most of them have already peaked, or appear unlikely to break out. Usually I talk myself into scenarios like, oh well if this guy can take a little step up and we get a breakout year from one of x.y,z we'll be in good shape. The only guys I see as potential breakout candidates on this roster would be Peterman, Zay Jones, Murphy, and Edmunds, based pretty much on them having extremely limited experience. That's not a great situation to be in. Before pre-season I may have said Milano and Logan Thomas, but not feeling particularly high on either at the moment.

While fielding an historically bad offense. Your response is completely irrelevant to that that point.

Jonathan Cooper

Are we on the hook for his cap?

SIgn him and cut ivory

I find it impossible to believe that Foster is a better player than Coleman at this point. He had to have been a cancer.

Fair.
