WR, Robert Foster, Alabama is the most impressive and signing the OL from Iowa, Ike Boettger is impressive also coming off a torn Achilles last year. Could be a good find. Boettger is interesting.

McDermott likes his experienced players too and there are plenty left in FA. Leave a little room for flexibility over the next few months. Part of the consideration is cost. Veterans will cost you the vet minimum, whatever that is, and can count against your salary cap. UDFAs cost you a little bit of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it before the Chargers game and it was evident in that game. It was even evident in the final game. The kid started one game. A game in which the only receiver anyone has ever heard of was injured on the very first play and two scrubs let balls bounce off their hands and turn into picks. My confidence would be shot too. Before getting hurt, he was holding his own in that blizzard against Indy too. Peterman's a smart and athletic kid. I'd bet he'll have a chance to be in this league for a long time before I'd bet that he's one and done. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting his whole body into his throws but his feet always seem to be in the right place. Look at that throw at 4:27. He knows he's about to get clobbered and he stands in and delivers. And he's got some wheels. One thing stood out to me - his WR are almost casual about catching the ball, wouldn't you say? They are very confident that ball will show up where and when they expect it to. Hold their hands out and plink! catch. Good initiative on the kid, too, working himself into PSU's pro day. Interesting guy. Interesting throwing motion. Reminds me of Philip Rivers with that torquing of his upper body when he throws. Gotta keep his feet planted though, almost looks like a pitcher more than a QB. kid seems like a baller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t count him out for the starting quarterback spot while they wait for Allen to develop. They talk up everyone. Saturday they talked up Jordan Mills. Peterman is going to be released, not picked up, and then put on the practice squad. The only fly in that ointment is that he can look good in practice situations, and in preseason when the game is only 3/4 speed. He didn't even look all that good last year in preseason, despite what multitudes here were claiming, as he completed 54% and had one TD and threw a bunch of terrible passes. The good thing about that is AJ will shine in that scenario, and clearly outshine Peterman. We can only hope that Josh's smarts show that he picks up the offense quickly enough to let him pass AJ before the first game. I'd say that is at least a 50-50 proposition.

But please, carry on. Sure. I'm not particularly anti-Peterman. Was just responding to the poster who said he hadn't thrown any passes in the Chargers game (I think he was mixing up which was the 5 int game.) That being said, I think I agree with Kelly the Dog that a lot of his troubles seem to come from lack of arm strength. I was quite interested to watch him play, but I can't say I ended the year feeling at all optimistic that he was going to stick in the league.

He'll be out of the league in a year or two. The picks weren't because of a lack of arm strength, except for arguably the 4th one (the 10-yard out, which I've seen strong-armed QB's do, if they telegraph it, like he did). The others were a deflection, throwing off his back foot in the face of pressure, getting hit while he threw it, and a bad pass/miscommunication. Look, I jumped off his bandwagon after that game and Allen is now the guy I want to see succeed. But Peterman's been working on his arm strength and AJM doesn't have a howitzer either. All I'm saying is that don't pen AJM in as the starter. 54 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: They talk up everyone. Saturday they talked up Jordan Mills.
