26CornerBlitz Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hard when I'm using an iphone and yes I know the difference, again you're a good writer, and Manzel had some Flutie like talent imo (NFL possibly capable if developed properly imo) but to dissmiss talent v his stupidity is another story. Again I said imo, not fact. The previous posters know how present arguments. Learn how and you will be a much better talent. You have arm strength, not sure though if you can analyze a defense, but you have potential. PS, I play hockey at a much lower level, but know the game and have been watching football the Juice came into the league, so I have seen a thing or too and know QB is the hardest position to evaluate and a lot depends on the coach to figure out that talent and best use it. Again state things as opinion, point out flaws you see, not as someone else does. I think too often repeat others' opinions. Irrespective of what you think, I watch players before offering an assessment of what they are. I don't need to lean on the thoughts of anyone else when I can formulate my own opinion based upon what I see for myself. You are hung up on this silly semantics of assessment vs. opinion. I said before and after Manziel was drafted that he was just another run around College QB who didn't have the requisite skill set to succeed at the NFL level. He's small with an average arm and certainly not a special athlete at the NFL level. The running around he did at Texas A&M to make big plays will not work in the NFL. He has no concept of reading defenses, going through progressions, or throwing with timing and anticipation within the structure of an NFL offense. All of that before you get to his lack of emotional maturity and lack of any intangible leadership ability. NFL talent? Nope! The last thing I need from you is some condescending lecture on how to present my assessments when you have no idea how I arrive at a conclusion. I have wasted enough time responding to you. Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wasted enough time responding to you. Good day. And that's the problem I have with your writing. I don't know how you arrive at your assessments... you don't share them, you present them as facts... arrogantly so when someone questions them or disagrees. Write what you did above but with a little humilty. PS "the running around like he did in Texas" can work in the NFL and has... Tarkington, Manning, Elway, Favre to name a few... He couldn't read a defense? Maybe not, but where and how did you arrive at your opinion. His immaturity prevented any of that and he showed moments where he did read a defense well imo. But his arrogance and lack of coachability prevented any of those issues from being addressed.Again thanks for engaging and I hope despite my condescension, you consider my feedback and better backup your assessments using less black and white statements.

jethro_tull Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Nathan Peterman looks like a career backup QB. That makes two then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 QBs are the greatest assets. If they end up having 2, so be it. Then they trade Peterman for more than they bought him for. Either way, they'll have their guy. this. But I don't think they will have to spend all the picks they amassed to get their guy (whoever it is). They also want a "team" around that guy. Rookie QB's who have "instant" success generally have great players around them (think Big Ben in 2004). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your problem with what I write is not frankly my concern and how did you arrive at your opinion on Manziel or Peterman? Haven't seen you share anything that supports your position with you just making statements. See how this works. Comparing Manziel to those great NFL QBs who incorporated improvisation into their games, but didn't rely on it as the core is puzzling to say the least.

grb Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Absolutely, it is said by the professionals in here this is TT make or break year, his 7th in the league, yet NP has been written off as a career backup, maybe, after 2 quarters of his first ever NFL game. It's damn comical! Yes it's comical. As are all the categorical statements Taylor can't improve. As are the people here gushing about Peterman taking over the team. It's all just Quarterback Craziness. Personally, I think Peterman has a very good shot at becoming a viable starter and would enjoy seeing that happen - if for no other reason than see the football industry's quasi-scientific system of metrics, measurables, and scouting system clichés fall on it's face again. He's an easy guy to root for, just like Taylor. But no one knows if Peterman is going to beat the odds right now and it's silly to claim otherwise, one way or another. He played up & down in one preseason game against threes & fours. He's had a couple of good practices in a generally bad camp. Don't write him off or make him the next Tom Brady - at least not until he marries a supermodel........ Edited August 15, 2017 by grb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Peterman, I did and stated as my opinion from what I saw of him and the other two during preseason games and stated as such. Guess you don't read or remember so well. Again on Manzel your pointing out his defiencies were black and white on being able to read a defense. I disagree that he couldn't, he didn't do it enough because of his arrogance and reported lack of coachability due to his lack maturity as exemplified by his off field issues. He showed moments though and that what was so intriguing about him. But then again that is just my opinion from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) What if I like Tyrod and also like how Peterman has been developing? I still think given the Bills' history you draft one high as a hedge... Patriot's seem to draft a QB every year or so because they don't know how long they have Brady and while riding that wave can they keep Garapolo long enough or do we even know if Garapolo is a good enough replacement despite their lying statements. Part of it is talent, the other is drive. Hard to evaluate drive at the next level because it is the next level and so far it appears we don't know Peterman's next level drive or if TT has enough talent for their system.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 College tape for players is part of the assessment process. Surely you understand that. Now I recall just how correct the scouting reports were on TT. Doesn't throw with anticipation, indecisive, aborts the run too quickly and runs with the ball. How could I be soooo dumb!!!! I'm sorry for arguing this. What if I like Tyrod and also like how Peterman has been developing? that's not allowed /sarc I swear I am beginning to feel those negative about Nate might be feel he is a threat to Tyrod. if Peterman has not been developing then we are stuck with Yates people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With TT they are going to win 6-7 games. With Peterman it's probably 3. I'd rather win 3 than 7. I want to win less than 4 or more than 9. The middle is the worst case scenario. The Bills should send Tyrod to Jax or Denver (some team that thinks they are close with garbage QBs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 IF he's a threat (go with it) that would mean he has something to offer. If that were true than it would indicate he's better or good enough to supplant him. That being hypnotized IF TT = 8 or 9 wins THEN NP should = the same amount of wins.
