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.

If you do dumb **** the people reporting on the **** you are doing will call it out as dumb. These were the same people you were probably crying about when they said the Bills won't have a winning record this year. Do you believe them?

Doc Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 This is the same as what happened to Tom Savage/Deshaun Watson last year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Let's hope not. We need Allen for the year... no jinx on injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

So I'd say it does matter. 2 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. A guy like him, who can come in and win a game or 2, don't last long in FA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's another who I think is ready to call it a career, otherwise he'd have a job. The guy can come in and win a game, what a backup should be able to do.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I'd honestly look to Sanchez and EJ. Is EJ still with the Raides? I assume he could be had very cheap in a trade if so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
