26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Bills believe they had no choice but to bench Nathan Peterman after Week 1 disaster After Nathan Peterman failed for the third straight time to finish a start, and was yanked midway through a game due to performance for the second time, the Billsbrass believed they had no choice but to demote the second-year quarterback and promote rookie quarterback Josh Allen this week, sources said. While Peterman's sample size is on the small side -- again, just three starts over the past two seasons -- the extent of his problems against the Ravens in Week 1 led to a collective understanding within the team's coaching staff and front office that a change was necessary. "You wish you had more to go on than just the three starts, and it might be different if this was a veteran with a five-year body of work," said one team source. "But you don't have anything else to go on, and after it happens a second time you can't just write it off as an anomaly." Sources said the Bills are continuing to monitor the waiver wire and other team's depth charts, and could add another quarterback to the mix if it is the right fit.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Bills blew a Peterson size load too early when they let AJ go for a 5th. We should have kept 3 with so many questions going into the season. But that's hindsight. Bring a vet in that can hold down the fort and mentor Allen. (Anderson, Moore) My peeve is that Bridgewater was there for the taking for the same cash as McCarron and the Bills didn't even make a strong move. 2 minutes ago, Doc said: This is the same as what happened to Tom Savage/Deshaun Watson last year.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I for one hope that they add a vet and cut NP. Matt Moore is my choice. Peterman isn’t an NFL player and it sounds like the Bills finally realize what many of us already knew. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he doesn't have the desire to play anymore or something is up, otherwise he'd be signed.

jahnyc Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Assuming this is all true, it is kind of astounding how far off the Bills FO and coaching staff were about Peterman's ability to be a starter and the related determination to trade AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Moore or Derek Anderson would be fine. Josh needs a second person to go to and its not Nate. It has to be a QB who knows what success looks like. He has to have someone other than Daboll. You can't vent about your boss to your boss. I bet McCown's relationship with Darnold is a large part of the development. It has to be someone who is comfortable being a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I am in the camp of dont kill Allen this year. Stick with Peterman. Get the #1 pick. Trade down several times. Get some WRs, OL, TE and DBs in FA/Draft, and set ourselves up for 2019. Exposing allen to a beating is just going to mess with his head and make it that much harder for him to be the QB of the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
