[Every Nate Peterman throw from the Saints game]

The whole "Peterman isn't ready" thing makes no sense to me. Peterman won the #2 spot after the preseason, a back up role to a mobile QB who has missed games with injuries before. If he really wasn't ready, then we should question McD's judgment to allow him to be so close to being on the field at all times. The simple observation is that Peterman can and is willing to make throws Tyrod can't and won't even try to make. So painful....praying it's not too late before he gets in and we're not saying "SEE???? He should have went in a long time ago!!!"

It's gotten to the point where I would never wish an injury on the guy, but when TT got hurt on that personal foul, I was hoping he would step out and watch Peterman bring life to a dead O when it was still in reach. Oh well....soon enough...

Exactly.  There's a ton of players like him.  Just needs to get some players in the locker room behind him and get this bandwagon going.  Otherwise, it's Tyrod until we are mathematically eliminated.  The coach doesn't want to lose the locker room over benching a highly regarded player in the midst of us being in the wild card hunt

That's a great point. McD puts a ton of value on the fact the team voted TT a captain. He considers him a "leader". Ugh...

Tyrod's 2 reasons for keeping his job over Peterman:

 

1. Running ability

2. Deep ball

 

#1 is being shut down by disciplined DE's keeping contain and #2 is non-existent. It makes no sense to stay with TT from this point.

I'm sitting here wishing we had Case Keenum. So crazy. Almost any halfway decent current back up would be able to at least do something with KB, Matthews, Clay...come on!!!

The O is designed for quick, decisive throws in tight windows. Which guy can make those throws? I wanted to believe Tyrod can compensate for that flaw by showing real leadership, running ability, etc...but bottom line, we just need a guy who makes NFL throws, even if he's limited to within 20 yards. At least Nate MAKES the dang throws.
