Tanner Lee is a dark horse QB to keep an eye on


Recommended Posts

I'm hearing a lot of buzz around Tanner Lee despite his less than stellar Sr. Bowl showing. And considering he wasn't even the greatest college QB some would wonder what the hype is about.

 

But quite frankly he could be this year's Nathan Peterman since he has a lot of raw skill and pretty much all the tools that NFL scouts and GM's tend to covet.....most notably the size, arm strength, leadership and accuracy.

 

Regardless I don't expect him to be drafted too high unless there is a true desperation run at QB's this year. He's probably more of a round  3 - 5 type of guy and I have him graded out as a 4th rounder on my big board. But if we are looking for another solid developmental prospect to compete for the backup job behind Peterman he might be a good choice in the mid rounds if he's still available.

wait...that's a lot of pressure. it takes a lot of poise and precision to throw that many INTs, in so few attempts.

FYI - when I say this year's NP, I obviously mean a steal that was drafted later than he should be.

 

Because in a few years when all these pundits do their '2017 redrafts' pretty sure NP will be a 1st rounder, maybe even top 10 pick depending how his career goes.

 

In fact I already saw one that had Patrick Mahomes as  top 5 draft pick if they could redo it today, and he's a very similar player to NP just with a much bigger arm.

You enjoy being a laughing stock, don't you?they are not similar at all lmao

Dude - do you really believe this or are you just trolling???  Pretty sure NP will be a 1st rounder???  I sure hope so but the reality right now doesn't support such a ludicrous statement.

Look I've been supportive of Nate. I've stood up for the rook when people have written him off. I hope your right because I don't wanna look stupid for trying to stay a Petermaniac. If he doesn't start and show some promise I'm done.

 

Even after the 5 interceptions I had the rooks back. Defended the choice to start him. He better be Tom Brady 2.0 or I'm joining your group of haters. I don't like you cheating on him thinking of other Saviors.

In his mind you're the laughing stock for answering him. It's amazing how the clinically deranged can twist things in their minds.

Just now, Dr. Who said:

Wouldn't Kyle Lauletta be a more plausible fella insofar as Senior Bowl success might actually improve his draft stock?  But OP is a provocateur and not really serious, so all this is besides the point.

 

Yes he would, in fact I've heard that Hoodie and the Pats front office have Lauletta high on their radar/draft board as another potential Jimmy G type of QB.

 

So if this is true I would pounce if I'm Beane given the Pats sterling record with QB's of late. It's no secret that they are in the market to find Brady's next replacement to develop a few years until he's finally gone.

It's not ludicrous if you look at what NP showed as a rookie and project him to take a huge step in year 2, 3, etc.

 

Nothing is guaranteed but I still feel that we struck gold with NP just like we did with most of the 2017 draft picks. The talent and intangibles are there which is why TT was benched for him in the first place. He just needs to continue to hit the gym to improve arm strength (which was mostly fine anyway as a rookie) and avoid the turnovers.

 

But getting back on topic, Tanner Lee could be even better in the long run if he lands on the right team and is developed properly.

SaviorPeterman may be a troll, but damn if he doesn't create the most perversely entertaining threads..... 

 

The idea that the Bills' QBs for the 2018 season will be Peterman with Lee as the backup is beyond hilarious.  Not to mention the OP compared Peterman to Drew Brees in his other thread with the ludicrous premise.

I live SaviorPeterman!! Tanner Lee is atrocious. I remember watching him at Tulane and thinking “how is this guy playing here?” 

 

Nobody is disputing that Lee's college career was less than stellar, but there are many reasons behind it and not all NFL franchise QB's come into the league with stellar W/L records and stats behind them.

 

This is why he'd be a pure dark horse, but the talent is there and he checks off pretty much every box the NFL scouting world is looking for.

Yeah, very similar. Both Peterman and Mahomes have two eyes, for example. Both of them breathe consistently. Both of them are football players.

 

Yeah, you're really on to something here.

 

I like Peterman but these two players have totally different kinds of styles.

 

I get it, you're trolling, but you could at least do it well.

Round 3 is the biggest reach since Akili Smith.....Tanner "The Turnover Machine" Lee is not getting Drafted....I don't even think the 7th round could save him...he's an UDFA and ends up with a team who has the interest in letting him get 3 years on the bench...so, Seattle or Rams or Bucs? All teams who have NO interest in actually getting a QB but need someone to throw the ball in camp...then he's on practice squad for a few years and at that point, he either has drastically improved or he's released and probably doesn't end up on another roster. If I'm wrong, please save this and remind me and I don't mind chowing down on humble pie with a side of crow.

Tanner Lee isn't going to be drafted. 

 

I seriously doubt that happens, he has too much talent and ability plus he's not a headcase with any off the field baggage or drama.

 

I have him graded out as a 4th round prospect and believe he'll go somewhere around here. Best case for Lee though might be to land on a team with an established franchise QB so he's not thrown into the fire and can develop properly for a few years.

Tanner lee is a worse version of Josh Allen. He is going to need a minimum of 3 yrs to develop. You already have Peterman so doesn't make sense to grab another developmental prospect. If the Bills don't draft a QB early I don't think they will select one late in the draft which is where Lee will go.
