Nathan Peterman to Start this Week.

Recommended Posts

I have deep concerns about this past offeason's strategy, the schemes they're using and whether they're a fit for the talent on hand, etc.  But I do appreciate the lack of stubbornness from McBeane - this week was a key test for me, I wanted to see whether the coaches would dig in and ignore clear evidence that what they were doing wasn't working.  I give them credit for making the switch.

He should have kept that info to himself until friday. Why gives the chargers a chance to prepare

There is insufficient game tape available to the Chargers to enable them to game plan specifically for Peterman.  I'm sure what they will do is blitz more, just because that's what you do with a newbie QB.  That's not a specific game plan though.  The Bills could start Tyrod for one play and insert Peterman thereafter and the Chargers could blitz more in reaction.

Just woke up on the West Coast and haven't had a cup of coffee. This worked for a morning jolt. Feel for Tyrod who is a class act, but after the last two weeks, no one should be surprised. We need to see a QB with the ability to see the field and Tyrod wasn't cutting it. Let's hope the kid is who we need.

Kirbs, they must have decided they know what they have in Tyrod - they know his floor (last Sunday) and his ceiling.  Time to find out for sure what they have in Nate, so that they can soberly design strategy for the QB position in the offseason.

I don’t disagree. I just wouldn’t have waited until they were out of the playoff discussion (maybe 2 more weeks). I hope that they are right.

Love the move. I respect McDermott for making the change. I honestly didn't think he would.

 

There's only one thing I can guarantee. Peterman will throw more than 56 yards.

 

Even if the Peterman move doesn't work out, it at least shows me that our head coach isn't stubborn and is willing to make changes in ANY position who he feels is underperforming.

 

I respect the move McDermott. You have gained my respect once more.

I don't like it but I hope that I am wrong!! He must be progressing if they are making this move. Hopefully he lights a spark and gets the W.

Kirby i LOVE it!  Let's be honest we weren't going anywhere with Tyrod this season.  The fact that McDermott had the cojones to start Peterman week 9 shows me that 1)he recognizes the limitations we have with Tyrod as a QB, and 2) he is ballsy enough to ride this season out with Peterman win or lose.  If Peterman succeeds, we are sitting SO effing pretty next year come draft time, If Peterman struggles, hey we gave him a shot, and come draft time we are major players in the quest to draft the best signal caller to come out.  Sadly though, either way I believe this signals the end of Tyrod's career here in Buffalo.  I wish him well, I pray he finds success elsewhere in the league, he's a very humble, likeable guy.  But a great QB he is not.

 

TODAY IS a GREAT day to be a Bills fan!!!

But then you get to the playoffs and you have to go play on the road against a team smart enough to play a five-man front and take away the boundaries, and you're toast.  Tyrod can succeed in a place like Baltimore or Denver, perhaps.  But he's not going to carry this team to where it needs to go.
