CommonCents Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Its not good for QB's drafted in any round including the 1st round IMO. 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 wasn't saying he is destined for back up duty, I was responding to Kirby. Saying that it was on him to make carve a role out for himself or fail. I don't think very highly of Peterman so I won't speculate on where he ends up!

That's fine in theory but there isn't going to be an opportunity outside of injury. He won't start this year and if Tyrod isn't going to be the guy moving forward they are taking a guy in 2018 to be "the guy." The path isn't there.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Before the fanboys kill both me and Sal @SalSports Fair and balanced: Peterman just did a nice job to escape the pocket, throw on the run to hit O'Leary going out of bounds. sounds like the next tom brady to me...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Do you think it's those cheerleaders that ruin them? Back in my banking days we had a saying: Just because you had to repo a blue Buick doesn't mean you can't lend on blue cars or Buicks. Each deal is it's own deal. Preach!

Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Joe Montana didn't have a great arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Brady was also scrawny. Then he bulked up. Nothing weird here. Move along. I think the better term for Brady is he got less skinny and not bulked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Joe Montana didn't have a great arm. But he had great feet, excellent accuracy, and made correct reads to get the ball out with timing and anticipation. Beyond that, he was always the coolest and most composed guy on the field.

GG Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That statement shows zero faith in the new coaching staff. 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. He's also referring to the reps that Peterman will get in practice. Doesnt sound like McD is running parallel drills to give more reps to the qbs. So by that virtue alone Peterman will get less chance than Yates to claim the job.

Doesnt sound like McD is running parallel drills to give more reps to the qbs. So by that virtue alone Peterman will get less chance than Yates to claim the job. McD may look at Nathan Peterman as more of a project despite all the pro ready claims. Yates already knows the O which could put him in the best position to become Taylors backup. Early on it appears Peterman needs to throw with more velocity as many have pointed out and it may take some time getting him up to speed. So perhaps holding a clip board for a season or two, bulking up and possibly adjusting his throwing mechanics a little to get more zip on the football might be the best case scenario for Nathan Peterman IMO. The NFL has evolved over the years and continues to do so making it easier for a good signal caller like Peterman to get overlooked in my humble opinion. The landscape is changing as the power forward style QB begins to gain more of a foothold in the NFL. Some say QB's like Jim Kelly and Dan Marino would struggle in this day and age because of low wonderlic scores and it appears many GM 's share this belief. This perception has altered the QB position all the way down to the high school level in my humble opinion. QB's have gotten smarter because of it , but how many athletes like Taylor never get a chance. It took Barry Sanders like running capabilities, a cannon arm with good accuracy, and one hell of a work ethic to get Tyrod Taylor where he is today. Starting QB and fearless leader of the Buffalo Bills. with Peterman/plan B on the back burner... Edited June 16, 2017 by Figster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
