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

Excited about Josh Allen as the starting QB, but Peterman is the guy people aren't talking about right now who will have everyone talking by the end of training camp.

 

He's worked on his mechanics, is said to have added velocity to his throws, has a lot to prove and is no stranger to struggling early in his career and picking himself up.

 

A little talked about fact concerning Peterman is that he's right up there with Allen as Bills QB's who've scored high on the Wonderlic test for those who equate the test to mental sharpness.

 

I still hold to the belief that Peterman was at the very least a third round prospect in his draft class.

 

Peterman will be the guy.

 

So this is how I have it panning out... 

 

1. Peterman

 

2. McCarron

 

3. Allen

 

With Allen at three for his protection as he starts out his young career.

“Hey guys, I don’t get any attention at home. Please respond to my post”.

Thank god someone else sees it. It's a backwards way of thinking, and continues to happen. Must be genetic and continues to hop from generation to generation. 

I just don’t get it. How could a reasonable person look at Nate Peterman and think, “this guy has got it?” The rest of the country laughed at us when we started him. It was worse than they expected. Everyone with a brain knew it would fail but Bills fans thought it was a good idea and everyone else was dumb. 99 times out of 100 the objective outsiders are right and the emotionally charged super fans aren’t. Peterman should be fighting for a roster spot not a starting job.

Hey! Not every Bills' fan thought it was a good idea. :lol:

Moment? 

 

Error is more like it.  With a 1st round QB they need to develop, there's not much point wasting time with Peterman with such limited snaps available in OTAs, minicamp, and TC at SJF.

Why do people believe in Peterman? It’s an honest question? He was historically bad and was a 5th round pick for a reason. People hated Fitz, Orton, and Tyrod who were all decent and swear by Peterman. It is so strange. We are the only fan base in the world that prefers scrubs to decent. That is unique to Bills fans. 

 

Every Bills QB gets 2 years in my book, no matter what. If they look halfway decent in those years they get a 3rd. Obviously Peterman is closer to busting than not, but QBs can and do get a lot better after a season of experience. And he wouldn't be the first QB ever to throw 5 picks in a game and still have a good career.

Were any of them 5th round flyer prospects who had such inauspicious debuts?  He didn't look much better in subsequent appearances to my eye with the playoff relief performance being the last memory.

Wouldn't simply just asking for attention be easier?

You woulda had to type a whole lot less..

He would be the 1st guy to throw 5 INT in his first half of football to go on to have a good career. Come to think of it, he would be the 1st guy to throw 5 INT in his first half of football to go on to have a bad career too.

Well I agree that Peterman should have sat on the bench for the whole year. All year long fans were clamoring for him to start. I thought he needed a year to work on arm strength. I blame the coaches for his first game. No rookie in their first half of football should throw 5 picks. That's on the coaches for not preparing him to be the starter, for not evaluating his ability to be the starter, and for not designing a simple game plan that made sense for his abilities. A total failure. And I'm worried they're making the same mistake with Allen to be honest. I guess I trust Daboll more than I trusted Dennison.

This is what happens after 3 years of Tyrod.  Anyone that actually gets rid of the ball in a timely fashion is promoted to savior status

Getting rid of the ball on time to the other team is no improvement.

I definitely trust Daboll more than Dennison. At the same time the guy that threw 5 INts in a half deserves his share of the blame for those 5 INTs. I agree that he shouldn’t have been out there but he is accountable for his performance when he is.

And it was an epic failure!! Replacing a decent game manager with a 5th round scrub is a massive mistake. Every objective football guy saw this prior to starting him. Bills fans were the only ones dumb enough to not see it. It was a massive mistake.

Peterman and McCarran will be lucky to get through camp without being thoroughly demoralized by the arm talent of Josh Allen. They’ve never seen that kind of arm up close before.

It was a very bad decision and I hope that McDermott learned from it.  Peterman should of never started that game.

I was in the group that believed as bad as TT was playing during the stretch he should of still started but been put on a

shorter and shorter leash.  Peterman did well the week before against NO  and he may have been better in relief of TT (if it was necessary)

in the LAC game.

 

The thing that I wonder about is.............does having a very poor performance like Peterman did against LAC affect his development/career?

The Bills think so highly of Peterman that they did everything they could to move up in the draft to get a QB of the future who isn't named Nathan Peterman.  

 

Last year I went to 1 road game-in LA vs the Chargers.  Peterman ruined that game for me.  This year my 1 road game is in Baltimore.  The last thing I need to see is Peterman starting & ruining another road game for me.

There was no reason to make any judgment regarding his readiness after leading the team to a TD down 47-3.   The Saints couldn't have cared any less.

One of the things that makes the NFL interesting is that it's not entirely predictable.  Every year there's at least one surprise team and one surprise player.

 

I'd be unimaginably thrilled if Peterman won the starting job and took us deep into the playoffs.    I admit that possibility.

 

I think it's far more likely that he doesn't take any regular season snaps at all.  I think AJ starts the season and Allen finishes it.

You are totally missing my point.  Of course, he came in after TT lost the game but he got good experience.  It is one way to ease an

inexperienced player into the NFL.  He was the only positive to a horrible game.  I am no Nate Peterman "homer" at all, but I think he was

not handled well last year.

 

This is one reason I question some who believe that the "stats" of this year's preseason games will mean much at all.

It may come to pass that fans will be "clamoring" to start Allen (maybe way before he is ready) because he did well in the 2nd half

of a couple of preseason games.  Remember, the coaches probably want to have their decision by the start of the 3rd preseason game dress rehearsal.

Parallel question  Why do so many people gush over how smart NP is? From intentional grounding, to diving head-first into a concussion, to throwing wounded ducks off the back foot while falling away, the man has probably made more bone-headed plays per play than anyone in living memory.

For the same reason fans think Allen sucks because they watched film - eh hem,  cough, youtube videos.

I’m just not of the belief that NP is a part of the decision. Allen is playing as soon as the Bills think he’s ready. That’s the worst kept secret. McCarron is here to be the placeholder and a backup. He can handle that role.

I doubt Allen would be #3. The #3 QB won't be getting the kind of practice time and reps in the Bills system that he needs to develop. If Peterman beats out McCarron and Allen, which I doubt, then McCarron will be the #3 IMO.

Looking at preseason stats to make a determination on Allen would be the same idiocy I saw on TSW last year.

Neither am I Kirby.  It seems to me Peterman will be #3 this year and we don't even know if 3 QBs we be kept.  Thus, my early post about

Peterman going to PS and only to be called back up if an injury happens.  My concern was how they handled him and my hope that they do a

better job with Josh Allen.

The love for Peterman reminds me of the Jeff Tuel era. (Maybe “era” is the wrong word...)

 

One pass ruined poor Jeff Tuel's career. Oh, what might have been . . .
