At any rate the 3rd QB played in the meaningless 4th preseason game to showcase him for a trade that came to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Congrats to the OP for his prediction and for winning his bet which I would have thought was about a 25/1 shot at the time..

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If this was a QB competition, Peterman won and it wasnt even close. Nice to see McDermott actually stick to that and not just hand jobs to people like the EJ days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Way to hang in there on your prediction. When you first made it, I thought there was no chance he would start. By about preseason 3 I changed my mind. Its obvious that he was the best of the 3 by that point. I still don't think he will do very well in the real season though.

zow2 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Good move to start Nate in this one. It's also the right move. I really hope he can redeem himself. That being said, this is a brutal opener to the 2018 season. Honestly, with all the question marks on the Bills, I'll consider this game a success if we start the 4th quarter in a competitive game (within 7 points or less)....and Nate has thrown only 1 INT or none.

HappyDays Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Credit to @BurpleBull for sticking with his prediction well before most fans thought there was a realistic chance. When McDermott said it was an open competition, I'm not sure why so many posters thought he was lying.

SouthNYfan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I thought np would be the starter only to save Allen from the wolves since our oline sucks.

TSOL Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I would not be in the least bit surprised to see Nathan Peterman come in and trow another high pick game early in the season. It just seems like how hard he tries he still just has a bit of a noodle arm. As far as the coaching staffs evaluation, all you have to do is look to what a hair brained idea it was to pull Tyrod and start Peterman last year. And no, I do not want this to happen, I DO NOT want Peterman to fail, I want the bills to play well. I'm just not feeling the Peterman love.

He'll be much improved from last season. 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. Burple should get some kind of award, he called this back in May.

Steptide Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I know not everybody is, but I'm pumped for np2. Worst case scenario is Allen plays sooner than we think. Which to most probably isn't a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
