A good read, looking back on how Daboll made adjustments, adding in air raid concepts that gives a lot to look forward to in 2019. An excerpt

...the bartender says “What can I get you fellas?” Derek Anderson says “I’ll have a Mind Eraser”. The bartender makes one and DA sips it and passes out. Matt Barkley says “I’ll have a shot and a beer”. The bartender serves him and Barkley drinks it and looks confused. Nate Peterman says “Bartender....I’ll have a.......” (fill in the blank/end joke)

Fired by Jax during the season, the guy keeps getting jobs. Maybe he will be better sans Marrone.

There are a lot of comments about Peterman having a noodle arm - accurate, yes, but weak. The consensus is that with less than stellar arm strength he can only progress so far; like back up QB or maybe a borderline starter, with the club necessarily always on the lookout for a better guy who can really get the ball out the way it should be - with plenty of zip. I have watched a ton of Peterman highlights and have always wondered what those naysayers were talking about. In the highlights that I've watched I have seen a lot of 35-45 yarders with what seemed to me to have a good deal of power behind them, and one that was exactly 50 yards, right on the money. I was trying to find that one so I could post it here for all the doubters, but instead found this one. Go to Nate Peterman 2015 Highlights - YouTube and you'll see at the 12:05 mark, a 53 yard toss, from the opponent 45 to his 2, right on the money for a TD, with a 1 step-up delivery. Have a look and then tell me that he'll be limited by his weak arm. You might check out the entire tape to see a lot of excellent throws.

All I am reading today is the draft capital to get a QB in next year's draft .... is it just me or did no one like what Nate showed on Thursday? First drive as a pro ... drove down the field and scored ... in the fourth scrambled for good 1st downs .. and then hit Taiwan Jones perfectly on 4th down on the 5 yard line .. but he turned his head to run and dropped the ball ...likely could of been game tying score. This kid went to Clemson last year and beat #1 in a shootout against D. Watson ... I like what I saw and yes only one game and yes against 2nd/3rd string .. but certainly better than what I saw from Yates vs. the Vikes ... but given the lack of comments and I am island?

They went on to say Mc Dermott said they will compete. You have to earn the spot. Hmnn. I had heard nothing of this.They said he is running the show after the Whaley firing.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=NXibjvq9LyE&feature=youtu.be&a= I turned the game off at the end of the 3rd quarter so I hadn’t see Peterman’s passes. I came away from this video very impressed. I know, I know. It’s garbage time, some of the Saints backups were on the field, they didn’t game plan for Peterman, etc. Say what you will, he makes good quick decisions and he is mostly accurate. His first drive would have kept going if Benjamin doesn’t drop the ball on 3rd down or if Dennison remembers you can pass the ball on 4th and short. His 2nd drive is an impressive looking TD drive where even the incompletion to Thompson shows promise (good pre-snap read and a quick throw that he just misses with Thompson getting mugged). I think Tyrod goes to a different team next season that is willing to design an offense around his skill set. If this is the offense we are going to run, Peterman seems to fit it better. If the pass game looks bad against the Chargers I don’t see any reason he shouldn’t get a shot.

So what kind of offense do we expect from him this week/performance? I think he helps our offense personally and I am not a Peterman advocate. Hbu? Btw anyone who says great another Peterman thread I will shoot lol

More proof Peterman has been impressing behind the scenes, this move WILL pay dividends on both sides of the football..... http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/11/why_micah_hyde_calls_buffalo_bills_rookie_qb_nathan_peterman_nate_favre.html

I assume this may be discussed sometime this week. Let's use this thread to discuss his performance today.

You have to wonder if these ANALysts actually do any homework. We had a QB who refused to throw the ball down the field. Refused. I was a Tyrod supporter too. We lead the league in 3 and outs and take zero chances to move the sticks. The old “statistics are for losers” crowd use their cherry picked Tyrod stats to shows how he takes care of the ball. Yep. Whooptee do. We are stagnant and helping to kill our defense because we punt punt punt. It’s Peterman time. Play the game. Throw the damn ball down the field!

I know this is a week old, but I couldn't find it with the search box. This is awesome.

I’ve listened to Brandon Beane’s past media appearances. Whenever he talks up Nate Peterman, he always says “he’s Steady Eddie.” What the hell does “Steady Eddie” even mean? Is that like calling someone “Charlie Hustle?” I’ve never once hear anyone call someone a Steady Eddie, so I don’t know what that means.

After Josh Allen struggled against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday at New Era Field, some experts said the Buffalo Bills should pull the reins back a bit with the rookie gunslinger and turn to Nathan Peterman at quarterback to start the season. Former NFL executive and Ringer podcast host Michael Lombardi said that's "ridiculous." "To me the most ridiculous thing I ever heard is they should play Peterman because the line's not good," Lombardi said on Monday's episode of the "GM Street" podcast. "But the line isn't gonna be good for him either. ... Is the line gonna get any better because Nate Peterman's playing? The line stinks, it doesn't matter who plays quarterback. https://articles.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/08/michael_lombardi_ridiculous_to_play_nate_peterman_line_stinks_start_josh_allen.amp He has a point.

Who knows the abilities of these 2 guys better than Leslie Frazier and the Bills defensive players. Wonder who they would prefer not to play against. Is this one of the inputs McDermott uses to come to a decision as to starter?

I like Nate Burleson a lot and think he’s smart and well-spoken. I guess of Good Morning Football he spoke on the topic on black coaches getting fired. He then recorded the video/tweet below as a way to continue the conversation. I think Nate did a great job presenting this topic and more diversity in leadership positions would be a great thing. In the video he cites the Wilkes and Joseph firings as being premature. I think the problem is that both coaches were not good fits for the situations they were stepping in. It is certainly interesting that these coaches lose their jobs, but the GM’s who made the bad hiring are in the clear. Then again, coaches like Jay Gruden, Doug Marrone (and to a lesser extent Jason Garrett) were given more time, when you could definitely make a case for all of them to be fired. So I’m curious to know what your thoughts are. here’s the tweet from today:

Just listening to this post-game show right now and wow gotta these guys are so much better than Schopp & The Bulldog. Good to have a post-game show that isn't a complete bore like Schopp &Bulldog.

This is a tough call for me. I am going to say Clements. He seemed to give an overall better effort. What do you think? Is this post stupid? Are you wondering why you even clicked on it?
