You'd think he would have started this thread, since he is such a big Bills fan. He’s waiting to see who the Bills draft so that he can align himself with a guy that they passed on.

He is luckier than most to have even received a shot to start. Three 5th round draft picks who got chances to start and didn't lay such a big egg: 1) Brett Hundley 2) AJ McCarron 3) Craig Nall That's about it, out of 31 QB drafted in the 5th round from 1998-2016. And that's not to say those guys played great, just they didn't lay such a huge egg. You're right, only about 20-25% of those guys get a chance to play and none of them looked very impressive. Which is not to say "draft round defines a guy's ceiling", but it does say "draft arm defines a team's expectations" (until proven otherwise).

I'm done with the "Trust Peterman" / "Draft Rudolph at 21" / "We have too many holes" posts (not to mention "I have a brilliant idea that would be completely ignored in a current relevant thread" thread starting). Even if they draft a rookie QB it doesn’t guarantee who will be the starter. Imo the only one to get the #1 position would be a guy like Foles.

SouthNYfan Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 3 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: I don’t disagree but the Saints did it with Grayson and he was a 3rd. If a guy stinks, he stinks. Peterman’s flaws coming in weren’t things that improve. He was called one of the most pro-ready guys last year. That means that teams thought he was mentally ahead of his peers yet he still went pick 171. He had some physical questions that teams hoped could be overcome with his mental prowess. That’s why he will be written off much quicker than a guy like Cardale Jones that has world’s of physical tools but a long way to go on the mental side. You can teach a guy to read defenses but you can’t teach them to be 6’6” and throw it 70 yards. Now it is likely that neither of them amount to anything but there are different ceilings and adjustment periods. All prospects are not created equally. Allen did that at the combine. Just sayin' I agree with you, it's why a guy like Allen will get a chance. Similar to the NBA. You can't teach height or jumping ability. Physical attributes are kinda set in stone, with only minimal range of change available (a bit of muscle here, a bit of toning there) unless the guy has a growth spurt (you this in the NBA because guys are drafted at age 18-19 frequently,vs NFL they are 20-22 usually) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that guys with the physical tools get more chances. That's why all the pundits (and maybe teams) are all over Josh Allen despite his mediocre QB stats and weak level of competition I'm not entirely sold on the "flaws coming in weren't things that improve". First off, I don't care who a guy is, the NFL clock is faster and all QB need to adjust to that. Second, it seems to me a number of QB have improved their arm strength and throwing velocity - in fact that's true of a bunch of the best QB today and ever.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Here is the JOKE people are missing. Until a new QB is chosen it is the Nate era because there are no other QB’s on the roster. Hook line and sinker. Bait laid out and the fish bit hard.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Anyone who hates Nate and likes Mason Rudolph confuses me. Similar arm strength, Nate is the better athlete with bigger hands, plus his footwork and ability in a pro style offense makes him much more ready for the NFL. Rudolph is tall. Nfl.com gave Peterman a slightly better prospect grade. They compare Peterman to Kirk Cousins and Rudolph to Christian Ponder. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 He seemed to play pretty well in the game vs Indy. Had a 100.8 NFL rating for that game, along with an ESPN QBR rating of 84.6.
