Prediction: Nathan Peterman Bills Starting QB Wk. 1 vs. Ravens

Peterman had 1 really bad half of football as a rookie and so many wrote him off. He impressed in preseason last year and was competent in the snow game. All reports have indicated that he has improved from his rookie year, which makes sense. 

 

Peterman has a better arm than Mccaron and is a better athlete. He offers some playmaking ability when things break down where Mccaron offers next to nothing.

 

This is is going to be Josh Allen’s team but until he takes command I would much rather roll with Peterman than Mccaron. The qb in this offense is not going to be permitted to just be a distributor of the football. The line and limited amount of playmakers will cause the qb to have to play off script and Peterman is the better option until Allen is ready. 

 

Holy crap!!!

 

Is this actually confirmed?!?!

 

If Peterman has a better arm and is a better athlete than McCarron, I'm utterly confident Allen will start game 1

So far in this thread you’ve suggested 2 hypotheticals:

1. What if Peterman starts 10-0 with a 3:1 TD:INT?

2. What if the qb with the lowest int percentage ever, threw 5 INTs in the 1st half against the Chargers? 

 

Why not, “what if LeSean McCoy runs for 14,000 yards this season?” 

 

 

So you're saying there's a chance Kirbs?

ESPN thinks QB Nathan Peterman is a "Surprise Offseason Standout" for the Bills

 

Nathan Peterman is a somewhat controversial figure in western New York.

Some feel as though Peterman was the best quarterback on the Buffalo Bills roster in 2017 and that he could develop into a starter given some time. Others think he’s an average quarterback who is a career backup at best.

Peterman was often talked about in the 2017 season, but the hype surrounding the 24-year-old has died down a bit in recent months. Instead, the hype now surrounds Josh Allen, the Bills’ shiny new quarterback who was selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Allen is Buffalo’s quarterback of the future, but he may not be its quarterback of the present. Bills coach Sean McDermott has crafted a development plan for Allen, and the Wyoming product worked with the third team for the majority of spring workouts. While he could still earn the starting job, he’s not the favorite to win the competition, which is largely between Peterman and the recently signed AJ McCarron.

Well I can dispute what I don't know. I don't know what happened behind the scenes to influence everything. I wasn't there and I don't know a friend who knew a friend that was. 

 

I do know who was HC of the team at the time. I do know who ultimately had the final call at the end of the day. If I'm struggling with money and you influence to rob a bank at the end of the day I made the final call being in total control. So scapegoats do nothing for me. 

 

If it's true that Dennison manipulated a guy holding higher rank then him with little to no evidence to support his claim and the guy in charge approved the choice unchecked and blind then I think that isn't a good look and I seriously hope a lesson was learned. 

 

I don't know how making Dennison the big bad wolf makes it better. I really don't. 

 

 

 

 

It’s not about making it better or higher rank. It’s about how the situation played out. Dennison was in charge of the offense. He pushed for that move and McDermott gave him an opportunity to prove what he believed was right. It wasn’t right. McDermott held him accountable by firing him.

 

It’s not rare at all though for a coordinator or a position coach to make changes. They are much closer to the situation than the HC. Dennison was the one in the film room, offensive meeting room and in the huddle at practice. The HC is the CEO and ultimately signs off on everything but that doesn’t mean that’s what he would have done. Agreeing to something and asking for something are 2 different things.

I would say that’s true. The arms are maybe comparable but Peterman is a better athlete than McCarron. Peterman is an underrated athlete.

I have the feeling McD and Bean see a little of Delhomme in Peterman, a guy with average tools to work with but with the intelligence and work ethic to overcome those limitations:

 

Quote

The intangibles are the other thing that you can't necessarily measure from the film. I can turn on the film and watch some things. You obviously want to see quarterbacks live, but what's this guy's makeup? What's his leadership? Do guys rally behind him? I go back to Carolina. Jake Delhomme, one of the greatest leaders I've ever been around. He was undrafted. The guy willed himself to lead the team the years he was in Carolina. His intangibles were a 12 on a one-to-10 scale. And that's how he overcame his athletic limitations. I kind of went around the question a little bit, but you're looking for a lot of things, some of it physically we can all see. But a lot of it you can't necessarily see."

Oddly enough, I thought it was Josh Allen whose QB comparison was Jake Delhomme. This is based off both QB's exuberance playing the game, never-say-die gameplay, and accuracy limitations. Though I believe Allen will prove to be a more accurate passer than Delhomme.

 

For the record Jake Delhomme and Steve McNair are two of my all-time favorite QBs.

Seriously though, I don't know why everybody seems to want Nate to fail. Did he pee in their cereal??

I'm with you man, I hope they are all really good and we have a franchise guy and a good backup.

 

It's funny that so many of the draft experts that everybody ripped for "knowing nothing" had us pegged to trade up for Allen (which we did) and most of them had is targeting him at #5 in a swap with Denver (which we had in play until Chubb dropped) also have Peterman as a very high chance to win the starting job, and yet people are still saying they "know nothing".

According to ESPN's Mike Rodak, Nathan Peterman is a "serious contender" for the Bills' starting quarterback job.

 

He impressed while rotating first-team reps with A.J. McCarron at Bills' minicamp, completing 10-of-13 passes with a touchdown during 11-on-11 drills at Tuesday's session. Peterman struggled mightily in his lone start last year—he threw five picks against the Chargers before coming out at halftime—but has cleaned up his mechanics after spending the offseason training with QB guru Tom House. The Bills traded up to draft Josh Allen seventh overall in April, but he mostly worked with the third team during spring practices.

You think that it’s a talented trio? I think that they have 2 guys that are backups and a high ceiling, low floor rookie. If Allen hits the ceiling the Bills are in good shape. If he doesn’t they will have one of the worst QB situations in the league.

This is often a problem with these threads. Literally NOBODY has suggested that they want Peterman to fail. It is a discussion about who they think will be the starting QB, and some think that Peterman is extremely unlikely to be the starter. Some think he sucks, and the game in LA was closer to who he is as a QB, and not an outlier. 

If Peterman does actually become the starter, will Kirby be the dumbest poster on this thread? Nope. All his points are valid. It's not a question of SMH. 

 

And, if you're going to assume these accusations, why does Burple want McCarron to fail? Did Burple used to date  McCarron's wife?

Not sure why you are so upset? You are entitled to your opinion. I don’t think it’s reasonable to say that the Bills have “a talented trio.” They have one of (if not the) most physically gifted QBs in the world. He has questions at this point. The other 2 have tons of questions. I’m sorry that you take that as “doom and gloom.” It’s reality though. If Allen hits his ceiling (or even close to it) the Bills QB situation is solved. If he doesn’t in 2 years we will be looking again like Denver with Paxton Lynch. That’s the way the NFL works.

I think 2015 was the closest thing.  Cassel had a couple of good seasons under his belt, albeit over 10 years.  EJ was our first round pick, entering year three.  Even though many felt he wouldn't amount to anything, it was probably technically too soon for us to actually know that.  Tyrod was the dark horse of the race, his rare athletic ability offering the most upside of the group.  I'd say this year's competition has a lower floor, but a much higher ceiling given the fact that our current guys have a combined six NFL starts between the three of them.

A Super Bowl title will no doubt be one of the best days of all of our lives. I think that they are on their way if Allen can play. If he’s good, they have a young QB, a good defense, 9 picks and $100M(ish). This team has a chance to be like the Eagles.

Locker as the floor is an interesting choice. It's hard to know what Locker could have been with all the injuries. His 2013 campaign wasn't bad, but he he only played seven games and wasn't good in 2014 before calling it quits (although that was a pretty bad supporting cast too). I certainly hope Allen proves to be more durable.

Can Nathan Peterman win the Bills' starting quarterback job? Some buzz is building

• By Sean Wagner-McGough

• 1h ago • 2 min read

The Buffalo Bills signed AJ McCarron in free agency and traded up to draft Josh Allen in the first round after getting rid of long-time starter Tyrod Taylor in March. Yet there's a chance that their opening-day starter will be a quarterback who is actually entering his second season with the team. That quarterback? Nathan Peterman, the same quarterback who threw five interceptions in his first half of regular-season football last season.

It turns out, some serious buzz supporting Peterman's candidacy is beginning to mount. On Friday, ESPN's Bills reporter, Mike Rodak, called Peterman the team's surprise offseason camp standout. Rodak noted that Peterman is splitting first-team reps with McCarron and then wrote that "Peterman should be considered a serious contender for the starting job in Buffalo

Here's Rodak's entire blurb for ESPN:

The 2017 fifth-round pick was an afterthought at best and a laughingstock at worst after his five-interception performance against the Chargers last season, but Peterman should be considered a serious contender for the starting job in Buffalo. He has rotated daily with AJ McCarron to lead the first-team offense, with rookie Josh Allen starting in minicamp to see periodic time with that group. Peterman has looked sharp, including Tuesday at minicamp, when he completed 10 of 13 passes in 11-on-11 drills and ended practice with a touchdownDue entirely to that five-interception nightmare, it's tough to believe in Peterman's ability to actually steal away the starting job. That's how bad he was for one half of football. But it's probably not fair to Peterman to judge him entirely off that performance. After all, he wasn't the one who decided to bench a pretty good starter in Taylor and insert a fifth-round rookie against the sneaky-good Chargers in Los Angeles. He was placed into a bad situation by Sean McDermott and he certainly didn't make the best of it.

But here's why Peterman could win the job: His competition is very beatable. There's McCarron, another former fifth-round pick who spent the first four years of his career backing up and filling in for Andy Dalton in Cincinnati. With the Bengals, McCarron seldom saw the field and he never wowed anyone when he did get the chance to play. Then there's Allen, who features an arm as pure as Lannister gold, but is viewed more as more of a developmental prospect. He's not expected to start immediately, which is why he's third on the depth chart.

None of this means that Peterman should suddenly be considered the favorite to win the job, but it's probably time for us to consider him a factor in the race, which won't heat up until training camp and the preseason.

I’m not saying that is all that was wrong. Rico was taking heat for all of the things that you mentioned. He believed his offense would work with Peterman so they agreed to let him try it. It didn’t work. Rico’s offense didn’t work.

No he did not.  He was okay in preseason with his flaws very apparent.  We'll only know how improved he is in real competition against pass rushers and NFL caliber DBs. 

 

Who are you to declare that he impressed none?

 

Maybe you have your own understanding of what it means to impress, perhaps you're expressing a biased view because you don't feel he's the Bills best option to start, but he did impress a lot of people in last year's preseason.

 

Showed poise and ability to lead an offense.

Who do I need to be other than myself with what I witnessed with my own eyes? If that doesn't fit your opinion....Oh well.   He showed that he had almost no poise under pressure and limited physical skills along with spotty decision making and inconsistent mechanics.  If you are impressed by that, then that's okay by me.  I'm looking for more.

If that doesn't fit your opinion....Oh well.   He showed that he had almost no poise under pressure and limited physical skills along with spotty decision making and inconsistent mechanics.  If you are impressed by that, then that;s okay by me.  I'm looking for more. 

And Tyrod looked just as bad or worse in those preseason games.  Yet you loved TT at that time. 

 

Anyone who disagree with you at that time you called Mrs Peterman and then you went on to ignore people.  

 

You got so pissy that you now refuse to post in any threads they create.  

 

So it seems you have a bit more emotion than unbias.  

 

Of course you will pretend to not read this post.  

 

 

 

Nate showed us what it could be left or to have a QB that dropped back and released quickly and not “extend” a play when he didn’t see an open receiver immediately.  

 

With risk you can get rewarded.

I guess it's your opinion over everyone else who witnessed Peterman with their own eyes and came away impressed.

 

That just isn't true, Peterman showed ability to go through his progressions, find open targets, and scramble to pick up yards when necessary in last year's preseason.

 

Led a two-minute drive just before halftime that I believe led to points in the Eagles game, threw a pretty, over the shoulder TD pass in the corner of the end zone in the Vikings game and finished the preseason 9-11 for 81 yds.

 

So this just isn't true.

He looked okay against 3rd and 4th stringers many who didn't make final rosters against vanilla defenses that we see in the preseason.  When he got in real games we saw exactly who he was as I stated before he played against the Chargers. My assessment was confirmed regardless of what you claim.
