PromoTheRobot Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So Peterman is EXACTLY the QB that we thought he was coming out? Thanks for the update!!! Oh, come on. It's not like anyone here said Peterman was going to start for the Bills and become a franchise QB. That's just silly talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 @SalSports My Bills Day 3 minicamp notes are coming. But I wanted to get this part out there about Nathan Peterman first, since many ask about him: I mean, yeah. I don't think anyone excited for his potential expected him to come into his first training camp sporting new biceps. I am happy to hear he's making mostly smart decisions, now we need to see if he can get more arm strength and get the ball out faster. Next year is when we get a good look at what we might have.

John from Riverside Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 But, but, but.... Tom Brady I dont immediately think Peterman is a lost cause here.....he could develop arm strength. Holding a clipboard in that first year could really be beneficial for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The thing with Peterman that some are missing is that he isn't getting the chance. Either Tyrod develops to a point that they want to roll with him or they draft a guy in the 1st next year and he gets the chance. There isn't a path, outside of injury, for Peterman to be the starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust McD when he says it is open competition BUT If all he ever ends up being is Frank Reich I still think that it was a draft pick well spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did indeed get a steal in the 5th round it's their jobs to figuere it out sooner than later. I think he sucks, but that statement is pretty sad. Sure the road isn't paved but he can still drive down it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 But, but, but.... Tom Brady FACT: Tom Brady was 4th string as a rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 If all he ever ends up being is Frank Reich I still think that it was a draft pick well spent If you get a 10-year backup who can give you some spot starts along the way with a 5th round pick, I'd say you've gotten good value.

Wayne Cubed Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) FACT: Tom Brady was 4th string as a rookie Fact: I knew that. So hopefully he's the backup QB by the end of this season, just like Brady was in his rookie year. Edited June 15, 2017 by Wayne Cubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That speaks to the quality of the QB's that are still available in later rounds. We have all seen the statistics for quaterbacks drafted outside the first round, it's not good. Any quarterback with a marginal chance of success is scooped up many picks ahead of their actual talent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ....if he wasn't up to speed by DAY 3 of minis, he needs to go....... ...noodle arm... ...its hopeless...

The BIlls have struggled finding a QB in any round or via FA and now have a late round QB/T T coming the closest we have been to a real QB in years. So its hard to convince me Peterman is already destined for backup duties. with all due respect commonsense.

I wouldn't say "no chance" but I am not ready to put him ahead of what the stats support (4% ish). There's always a chance but the at this point there is no evidence to deviate from the numbers.
