I think this is probably right, but I also think McDermott knows they need to win this next game at all costs for a shot at the playoffs. If Taylor is hot garbage again, I could see Peterman starting the 2nd half. Both Chiefs and Pats are probably Ls anyway in McDermott's eyes so if they can use those games to get Peterman ready for the last quarter of the season, I could also see him starting the Chiefs game. Again, it depends on how Taylor plays against Chargers. But he has alot going against him IMO. He's got no ties to the coach or FO. It will not be hard for them to move on.

frostbitmic Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Taylor will start and won't be replaced against the Chargers unless the offense is as pitiful as it was vs the Saints halfway through the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could create division between supporters of the desicision and those against it. This could create large tension Exactly. The only way Peterman gets the job this year is if Tyrod gets hurt.

TT makes them look better at times but Shady has no where to run most times .. Peterman would probably get destroyed Actually TT makes the OL look MUCH WORSE. He holds the ball longer than any other QB in the league - that does not help. Peterman, in fact, makes the OL look fine, because he gets rid of the ball very quickly. The Saints game looked a lot like the Ravens preseason game. Taylor gets mugged taking too long against an aggressive defense, Peterman comes in and immediately makes quick reads and throws which takes the teeth out of the pass rush. 13 hours ago, CodeMonkey said: So you are saying that based on seeing some garbage time play by Peterman, that you think the Bills coaching staff, who has seen Peterman and Taylor both all season starting back in the summer, are so inept that can't tell that Peterman is the better QB? BULL. Taylor was also playing in garbage time and STILL COULDN'T move the ball. Same situation as Baltimore preseason game, except that time Taylor was hurt so he left early, and AGAIN Peterman's quicker decisions backed the pass rush off enough to get the offense moving.

On 11/12/2017 at 7:44 PM, mjd1001 said: I agree with this 100%. If Peterman plays and loses, at least it is something different. I know what I get with Taylor..and to me what I get is bored. With that said, I want to see Peterman play. However, I can't blame the coaching staff much if they don't play him right now..I don't expect it. If the Bills lose 2 of the next 3 (or all 3), then at THAT point I would expect Peterman to start vs the Colts. If that doesn't happen, THAT is when I'll be really upset. At that point then Beane needs to step in and tell McDermott they have to figure out how badly they need a QB in the 2018 draft. IE they HAVE to figure out they have in Peterman before next April.

Even if our more optimistic earlier assessment of this Bills team had proven true, it was probably not more than a borderline playoff team. The real target is the 2018 season when the offensive and defensive schemes will have been well learned and Beane will have had enough time to add additional scheme appropriate and higher quality talent.

ChasBB Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I recall McDermott saying that Peterman was "ahead of his years" during camp. Now, you have Kelvin Benjamin saying that Peterman doesn't play like a rookie. For cryin' out loud, what are the Bills waiting for? We've seen other rookies have success at QB. There's no more reason to wait. This can be a playoff season if McDermott acts now to put Peterman in as starter. If not, you'll continue to see a team that plays w/o confidence because they know their QB can't get it done - eventually, you'll see the team completely quit under Taylor. It doesn't need to go this far. Do the right thing and put Peterman in now and let him take it the rest of the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott already played this card and won't go there again. Trentrod's leash got shorter last week. Another clusterf**k from him and he probably gets the hook after one glorious quarter. The Bills can't afford to lose this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
