He showed some potential and had some really bad luck and no time against SD. In the snow game he did the best he could and had allot to do with us winning in the end. Throwing him to the wolves against the Jags with the game on the line and he had to make a play it just didn't work out. The Jury is still out. If after watching his performance last year you say the jury is still out, your jury will forever be out. 4 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: Only about 1/2 of all QBs who led their teams to Superbowl wins were fist round draft picks That's more than any other round.

I don't think the Bills are rushing to judgement either (as they shouldn't). However, IF they determine he is not good enough after working thru their process they can cut bait. IMO he will be on the roster this year. I think we will have 3 QBs on the roster this year. However, as I am typing, do to teams not drafting him in the first 4 rounds last year and the 5 pick game.....we may be able to put him on the practice squad. I believe we can put him on the practice squad and move him to the 53 man roster if someone tries to take him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBill Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 He had the worst half of football of any QB ever. True... But it was only a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 2 hours ago, starrymessenger said: If we are talking about the same plays, where Thompson was the target, one was an overthrow (I dont think it lacked pace) and in the other it was Thompson who "sat" on the route. I could be wrong but for now I can't comfortably conclude that the guy has no place on an nfl roster. I think part of his problem may be overcompensating by putting a little too much mustard on the ball at times, sort of how Fitz did from time to time. Question remains whether he can make the throws if he tones it down a bit. Lack of talent or lack of experience? I dont feel like I can say for sure. Yet. I dont think it has anything to do with pace really. The timing was there, he just threw it in a path that allowed it to get picked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 3 hours ago, Southern Bills Fan said: This is just a ridiculous statement. The guy has hardly played and was a rookie. There is plenty of film of him in college making plays under pressure as well as some nice throws under pressure in the Colts game. He may or may not pan out but your "expert" opinion based on less than 2 full games of action is laughable. They called him “Nervous Nate” in college for the way that he played under pressure.

JohnC Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: FWIW, it was Dennison that pushed for it. I know that to be the truth. I watched Peterman take 4 snaps against Jax, he fumbled, took an international grounding and got picked. Glad to see that encouraged you. I honestly hope that they cut that bum so that we can stop having people like you defending him when he doesn’t deserve it. You hated Tyrod who was a serviceable starter (the league concurs). Yet you are more than willing to give a roster spot to a guy coming off THE WORST HALF IN NFL HISTORY!! Peterman sucks and will never play in a game for the Bills again. He will be a distant 3rd on the depth chart if by the 50/50 chance he makes the team. I will be back at that point to say I was right, just like I did in the Matthews thread. If a guy sucks, he sucks. He doesn’t need to be defended. My hating argument is a cheap distracting argument that belies the real issue i.e. as a starting qb he was inadequate. If you want to call him serviceable that is fine. I'll stick with my description of him as being inadequate. You have this unappealing tendency to mischaracterize another person's position and hammer away at it. I never said that Peterman was a good qb. What I have said about the HC starting him is that I understood why he replaced Taylor. No one is questioning that Dennison pushed to replace Taylor. That's obvious. But the HC made the decision. That's a fact! And I guarantee it that there was a reasonable basis for it. Taylor was replaced because he was ineffective for a string of games.

He ultimately will take the responsibility but the decision wasn’t driven by McDermott (it was accepted by him). Still no no one has given what they like about his play. Again, the guys that have seen and evaluated him the most like him the least. There are a lot of people here saying, “we need to see more.” The guys like GB and Blokes that have thoroughly evaluated him think less of him than those that don’t like him!! That’s scary to me. You (nor anyone) still hasn’t answered why he will add more value to the team than Reilly (or whoever is player 53)? Outside of a disaster, Peterman won’t play a snap. The best endorsement people have had so far is “he probably isn’t as bad as he looked.” No one is saying “I think he will be an asset.” The hope is that at some point he can be a backup. Is he more likely to be a serviceable QB at this point than some like Logan Woodside? Not necessarily and there are young guys available like that all of the time.

suorangefan4 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I've rewatched every throw from that Chargers game and talk about a QB having absolutely zero chance to succeed. The entire pocket was collapsing on a majority of the plays and there was blanket coverage on every receiver on almost every play. Peterman made some errors but for his first start ever his entire team let him down. Every other game he played he looked pretty solid.

The receivers never separated and the line wasn’t great at pass blocking. Rewatch his 4 plays from Jacksonville. If a fumble, and intentional grounding call and an INT are a “pretty solid” 4 plays, I would love to hear what is bad? That is the exact example that I keep challenging people on him! In what word is that “pretty solid?!?!?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The results were bad - dont even need to list it out. The eye test was bad - not nearly enough zip on his ball, very deliberate with his throws, lack of presence under pressure. Expectations - the guy was a late round pick. There is no giving up because there was no real expectations in the first place. This is not a former #1 pick. This guy has no similarity to a Manning, Elway, etc. Every guy in a grocery store that used to play college ball could be a Kurt Warner...maybe we should grab 20 ex college QB's out of the game and fill are roster with them so not to give up too early on them.

Boatdrinks Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 No rush to judgement, he hasn't shown to be much more than a middling prospect with a weak arm. At least not to date. How much playing time must he be given to demonstrate he's more than thoroughly average? I haven't seen anything yet that suggests more than a career backup at best.

Well some used to say 3 full years as a starter with no competition for his job. Remember the EJ debates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
