Billzgobowlin Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I was thinking about it this morning and with Sunday's game not withstanding why was the media so critical of Buffalo replacing Taylor but not the Cowboys replacing Romo. The Cowboys were a playoff team with Romo there and it wasn't like Prescott was a top pick (he was 4th as opposed to Peterman being a 5th). Got me also thinking if Peterman were in Dallas would he have done well with a decent O line. People are complaining that Prescott struggled because he was missing Tyron, well replace his whole line with ours. I think Peterman should be given time like Prescott to figure it out and if they don't make the playoffs it will be partial the team around him like defense and Oline and not just QB. Let's face it Taylor doesn't win in this league unless this defense plays better and the O line can figure out pass protection(it wasn't like Peterman was holding onto the ball too long).

oldmanfan Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The first pick was a big momentum changer and then things snowballed. As you indicate, the big difference between Prescott and Peterman is that Prescott has the best O line in the league in front of him. I think the Bills will draft a QB day 1 or 2 next spring. And I think Peterman will be the starter opening day next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly anyone w/o some sort of tie to WNY gives a **** about the Bills. Even the local media hates the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because Romo was injured when they made Prescott the starter, and by the time Romo was healthy Prescott had led the Cowboys to a 6-1 record. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True., but the age old argument is that a star shouldn't lose his job to injury. If it wasn't for Bledsoe in that one playoff game the Pats wouldn't have made it to the SB.

Forward Progress Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Very different scenario. Prescott went in because of an injury to Romo and played very well over several games before there was a choice to be made between Romo and Prescott. I do agree that playing quarterback behind the best O-line in football gives any QB a huge advantage over our mess of an O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the one that says everyone's happy when you're winning. My main point was that the original decision wasn't even a choice, Romo was hurt. If Tyrod were injured in the Saints game nobody in the media would have questioned starting Peterman. If Peterman then led us on a 6-1 run, nobody would have questioned Tyrod not getting his job back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Angel Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 almost apples and oranges, Romo was injured, Dak played well and had a strong supporting cast to lean on. The best running game in the NFL a good group of recievers and a solid defense. If Dak wasnt solid then Romo would have been back in the instant he returned. The Bills have been playing historically awful football and in the attempt to light a spark it was like throwing gasoline on an already burning dumpster fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleAndHungry Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Prescott also went in to a lot better situation than Peterman. He had arguably the best O line in football. A top 5 wr, top 5 TE....completely different circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't my intent to say he should be playing but somehow a 5th rounder being played is taboo because we were 5-4 and in the playoff hunt.

If you see stars in front of your eyes take a breather. Playing injured isn't helping the team at any position.

This thread wasn't started to provide crazy assumptions but rather to elicit some thought about why it was taboo for a 5th round rookie to start and not a 4th rounder. And the Cowboys did have a former first round pick in Mark Sanchez on the team when they decided to go with Prescott.

Where he was drafted doesn't matter. It's what kind of player he is and what has he shown on the field of play to say he's ready to be an NFL starter. The answer for me prior to last week's game was nothing and that was reaffirmed by what he demonstrated in the heat of battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I do wonder about Prescott now, is he only good when he has a great running game and great offensive line backing him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
