[Vague Title]Our bills need to consider this
BurpleBull replied to DKBills25's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's possible but it's also possible that they aren't checking for him. -
[Vague Title]Our bills need to consider this
BurpleBull replied to DKBills25's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why they haven't brought him in could be because he doesn't fit the character of players they want in the locker room. It's one thing to inherit trouble, it's another to invite trouble into your home. -
Alright I agree to the challenge. Josh Allen vs. Nathan Peterman for the starting role barring injury or a McCarron victory. $56.30 (Allen's junior year 56.3 completion percentage at Wyoming) vs. $56.00 (Peterman's NFL career completion percentage (49%), tds (2), and ints (5). Loser also posts a congratulatory internet meme of their QB to the winning QB (Allen and Peterman only). Second week of OTAs begins tomorrow...let's do it!

I miss Leodis McKelvin interviews...
BurpleBull replied to Peace Frog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I understood what he was conveying, he just wasn't eloquent. Side note: She looks like she still gave up the panties. -
Much had been said about Josh Allen's accuracy leading up to the draft, so if you lose how about you send me $56.30 into an opened PayPal account representing Allen's college completion percentage in his final year. I lose, I send you a dollar figure not to exceed Nathan Peterman's Buffalo Bills jersey number. Just a proposal.

My guess is that all ten Peterman completions were of the unimpressive, dink-and-dunk variety. from BuffaloBills.com "Benjamin's best play on Thursday came on a play down the seam with Peterman hitting him in stride as he went straight up the field after the catch for what would've been a 20-yard pass play". Don't feel we'll be getting balanced performance reporting from posters in here. Peterman threw a pass too high that turned into a pick and McCarron's stat line was too unimpressive to be recorded or noted apparently. If it's not a McCarron sexy girlfriend sighting, or a sexy Josh Allen throw, I don't know that it's getting reported on in Twitterverse or in here.

Yup and had it "simply" been McCarron's day to take 1st team reps on the 1st day of media accessible OTAs, you along with other the posters who think Peterman starting Week 1an unfathomable possibility, would have no doubt attempted to use it against this thread as a sign that coaches think far less of Peterman than I do. But since Peterman got all the 1st team reps today, let's just downplay it to mean nothing more than simple alternating of 1st team reps between Peterman and McCarron.

If he is successful at adding velocity to his throws the way he's set out to do, he will be significantly better because I too believe his ball placement is very good when having time to set and throw. In college he was very good at throwing his receivers open. No reason to believe that with more work on his mechanics and more confidence entering year two, that this ability isn't put on display more often than in his rookie campaign.

Exactly. McDermott would not have come out to confidently tell the press that Peterman was "ready" to start in the Chargers game if he had not shown great progress as a rookie during practices. You've gotta be doing a good deal of positive things to get the coach behind you as a rookie, despite having a solid vet available. As you stated in the snow game he made great throws, but he also made great throws during preseason, a back shoulder completion to Zay Jones thrown on a line (during a two minute situation I believe) being one that really stood out and showed his capability and willingness to take and make tough, necessary throws as a QB. I don't know if people knew or not, but he was one of the better QB's in his draft class at completing the deep pass. Don't know why so many people think the idea of Peterman making strides from his rookie season and impressing the coaches to the point of being awarded the starting QB position is so farfetched.

Peterman seemed to get the ball to Kelvin Benjamin a bit when he did play, he's had time to build somewhat of a rapport with Zay Jones during the Senior Bowl and I'm sure during practices last season and he also had really good chemistry with Nick O'Leary who I think is the Bills best receiving TE. I can see the offense rallying around a much improved Peterman, as it remembers his personal struggles and the struggles of the passing game as a whole under Dennison and Taylor. I think Peterman could move ahead of McCarron, while Josh Allen waits in the wings continuing to develop.

Nathan Peterman will win the starting QB position barring injury. He'll be much improved from last season. Excited about Josh Allen as the starting QB, but Peterman is the guy people aren't talking about right now who will have everyone talking by the end of training camp. He's worked on his mechanics, is said to have added velocity to his throws, has a lot to prove and is no stranger to struggling early in his career and picking himself up. A little talked about fact concerning Peterman is that he's right up there with Allen as Bills QB's who've scored high on the Wonderlic test for those who equate the test to mental sharpness. I still hold to the belief that Peterman was at the very least a third round prospect in his draft class. Peterman will be the guy. So this is how I have it panning out... 1. Peterman 2. McCarron 3. Allen With Allen at three for his protection as he starts out his young career.

Harrison Phillips Senior Stats vs Suh
BurpleBull replied to Billsfanatixs's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Easy. Suh was a once-in-every-generation talent out of college --- Phillips wasn't. With that said, the Phillips pick is huge because it sets the Bills up with an anchor in the d-line for years to come when it appeared that the Star Lotulei signing would serve somewhat as insurance after K. Williams retired. Phillips I thought would go in the 2nd rd for sure, but I also believed he could be drafted late 1st rd. Phillips still being around by the time the Bills picked again in the 3rd. rd is probably the biggest "gift" of all the Bills picks. However, if you have a hard time remembering why Suh was thought of so highly, just look at his Combine numbers. -
Am I the only one who has confidence in our WR's?
BurpleBull replied to WideRightRevenge's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Zay Jones and the health of Benjamin and Clay will be key to any success in the passing game. I don't like not having an established speedster who can separate from defenders starting at WR. But I feel good about the backups. I really think Austin Proehl will be the team's slot receiver of the future. Maybe the Bills' version of Wes Welker. Robert Foster has good size, speed, and ties to Daboll so there's that. Maybe Brandon Reilly takes a step up. I like the potential of the reserves more than the starters. Lastly I really hope Nick O' Leary or Logan Thomas can snatch the starting job from Clay. -
Tell me about it...you clearly have no clue of what you're talking about.
