I am getting sick of TT supporters thinking that anyone who doesn't support him must think he's terrible. And I'm sick of TT detractors thinking anyone who says he isn't terrible believes he's an outstanding QB. There is a middle ground and some people, like me, are there. I think Tyrod has his positives and negatives. I think he was a good QB for the Bills, but it was obvious last season the team finally outgrew him. They finally needed more then he could provide. I think he is a perfect fit in Cleveland right now. His ability to not make mistakes provides a stability that, for the Browns, outweighs Tyrod's inability/unwillingness to throw deep. Tyrod can take them to 4-6 wins which, after 1-15 and 0-16 would be quite well received. By the time the team outgrows Tyrod, Mayfield will be ready to go. I am just sick of the "If yer not for us, yer 'gainst us!" attitude here. Not everyone is a TT supporter or detractor. Honestly I don't see anybody really lamenting losing Tyrod, or fighting people on his behalf. I'm on the Tyrod side of the spectrum and I just don't want to hear he sucks. Is that too much to ask for when there are people saying Peterman's the destined one? Go Pete, go Bills and all, but have respect for NFL players that don't have a 1:3 TD to pick ratio.i'm not going to say matt Moore sucks, Derek Anderson sucks, they are great, get paid a lot of money for a reason lol.

As a bad to mediocre starter, or one of the best backups. His career is destined to be a shorter version of Fitzpatspicks .. which is awesome for a 6th round pick. I get triggered when people say he sucks. He's only one of the top 40 quarterbacks in the world. He must suck right. I cant stand it when ppl say he sucks either.....he is not a franchise guy but "suck" Just lazy broke thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree... and that is why everybody picks apart QBs sooo much there are only 32 NFL starting QBs in the world... and how many are actually NFL caliber starters? 15-20? You can take the MVP QB from the Japanese league... he is probably a stud... but bring him over to America and he will fold quickly ... its all about being relative to your peers... and when you look drastically worse, they usually say you suck lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of people who think Tyrod would have excelled here had Buffalo kept him and instead of Allen instead picked up some receivers...and those people insist Buffalo should have done just that. And you, yourself, note there are people here that claim he sucks. My post was simply frustration at getting blasted by both groups because I have a middle-ground view of him. Also, the Bills did not start Peterman because they thought he was better then TT. They started him because the team was in a tailspin and they thought Peterman might be better. They knew TT wasn't the long-term answer, and wanted to see what Peterman could do. They knew they had a decision to make in the offseason. And they wanted a good look at Peterman going into it. How many "Make Peterman the starter and don't draft a QB!" threads were there this offseason? Zero. How many would there have been had Peterman not gotten a start (aside from the Hoth game, which he looked good in)? They knew what TT could do, and knew it wouldn't be enough to win a playoff game. They didn't know what Peterman could do, and decided it was worth at least checking. At no point did they think Peterman was better. They simply didn't know, and I hate the mistaken assertion some make that think they did indeed believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is illogical. All 32 starting QBs are NFL caliber. The range that currently exists literally defines that caliber. Currently, NFL caliber would be defined as Brady*/Rogers, down to Paxton Lynch, or whomever is the crappiest, current starter.

Success Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 It’s so hard to gauge Taylor. Especially last year - terrible OC, bad line, pretty mediocre receivers. And the year before, he ran a top10 offense. A lot of it with him is eye test stuff, which isn’t very reliable. It wouldn’t shock me if he did great in Cleveland.

And I think a FO would be out of it's mind if they hypothetically never played Peterman and didn't go quarterback next draft because "they just don't know how good this 5th rounder could be!". Or vice versa and play him "this 5th rounder isn't that bad! Let's just roll with him next year" Peterman would have had to have played insanely good. Even if he has a solid 200 yard 2 TD game, we lose.. whatever, we were gonna go QB unless an absolute miracle happened. I think it would have been the same situation if Peterman was average to good, they'd like him, and still bring in a 1st rounder to compete. You're probably right because I can't think of another explanation.. I just think it's stupid haha. We were going to do exactly what we did this off-season no matter what so why was the FO thinking anything regarding the offseason in the middle of the playoff hunt. If the explanation is they thought their 5th rounder could have been Tom Brady or Dak they were banking on an unprecedented assumption, betting on a 1 in a thousand's chance and jeapordizing the season. Like.. where was this support for Levi Brown, literally any quarterback drafted late for any team. Dolphins never threw in Fales until elimination, Broncos never threw in Chad Kelly over Semen or Paxton, Lions never threw in Brad Kaaya, Niners threw in CJ Beathard out of necessity, he played as well as a rook could, quarterbacked their first win, yet they still traded for Garoppolo! They weren't saying "well if he doesn't suck, we know we need absolutely no plan B!". It's unprecedented, teams hedge their bets. No late round rookie quarterback has started in a mid season switch for a 500+ team ever, barring injury necessity. I want to believe Peterman was crushing it in practice and then lost his swagger after the Chargers game. That the coaches were thinking about best chance of making the playoffs not "hmm we might not have to go QB in the draft.. this just might work". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
