Now that Nathan Petterman is the starter?

What do you think needs to be the record over the next 7 (seven) weeks to say he is our man? Is it wins and losses or is it x amount of points a week? Is it compete with the Pats and win one of the two games? 

 I will say I felt they would do better to start him day 1 so Im excited. That said I want to see 4-5 wins for the remainder of the season. I also want to see sustained drives and scoring on the first drive. He can do it I believe. If he does that. Use the large number of drafts build a team around him. What ya think?

Anything he does from here on out should not impact the long term plans that (we hope) they have in place.

 

If Peterman plays lights out, perhaps that keeps the Bills from mortgaging their stockpile of picks for a QB. Should still use one of those firsts for a QB with less flaws than NP.

All the multiple posts are like it or not or TT should play. Im asking what you need to see frm Nathan to like us not taking a first rounder. Hope that explains it better for you.

sorry if I stepped on your toes there.

 

pretty simple really, win football games. thing is, unless the defense picks up it wont really matter.

 

my gut tells me the offense will perform much better with the kid under center. maybe if the offense can sustain drives, score points all the while giving the defense the rest it needs it could very well turn things around. I am anxious to see how it unfolds sunday for sure.

This x1000. The bills need a QB. You find your guy this year in the draft and you get him even if Peterman plays lights out. 

 

Worst case scenario,: Peterman turns out to be the next Tom Brady and he is our franchise guy. Even if we mortgage the draft to pick somebody we grade higher, then we still have spent 2 1st's and a 5th to get our guy for the next 10-15 years. Well worth the cost.

How many "points" does Peterson get for making the playoffs? What I am saying is I don't think you can measure his value just by arbitrary TDs/Ints stats... He is a "rookie" and is gonna make some mistakes... I wanna see how much he grows between now and the end of the season... Will he put in the necessary time in the film room? How "coachable" is he? Let's see what he has got under the hood, you know?

Really hard to say without know Peterman will do from the opening drive of the 1st quarter.  We'll know soon enough.

Should have replaced the guy named Dennison.

This would help.  Take Castillo with him, as well as Ducasse.  The three of them can move on together to the next team that desires an abject failure on offense.

Trust me the coach wouldn't put him in unless he put in the work.

 

Peterman said after the NO game that he prepares like he is going to play every week and I Billieve him

Are you expecting him to get benched for the final game? 7 game remain. Also you cant put the wins or losses solely on him.

You have to figure:

 

Adequate QB play wins you the bolts, colts and phish at home. Draft best QB with 1st rd 1 pick they hold

 

Add KC or phish on the road as wins . Draft a QB somewhere in 1st two rounds.

 

Make the play offs. Use the first 6 picks to build around him and either get a vet in FA or a late rounder to back him up.

Lol. Dang small keyboard! As far as wins and losses on him? Yes and no. If he is putting up TD and our D still lays an egg, no. If he is costing games because he is throwing pick 6's yes.  BTW. Fixed my small key big thumbs issue.

Great points. You can get a real good backup in the back of 1 to begining of 2. If he proves himself to be a good backup you can get a good started earlier in the 1.
