MAJBobby Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: Why is everyone shocked or upset? No teams 3rd string QB is any good. I mean we have 2 guys hurt...were we supposed to have a 3rd QB that can play? I mean who cares anyway, this season is a rebuilding year. D looks good going into next year and should get better, especially once they make major moves on the offensive side of the ball this offseason between FA and the Draft. He did start the season right. McD loves preseason to give him the starting job out of camp. So technically our 2018 starting QB is under center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner and Kirby can harangue me all they want---- I will not yield! My prediction is that he will play respectably and the Bills will win. When that happens the haters are going to be disappointed. I will be ecstatic but being humble as I am I will not scold. He is not terrible but he is just not in the right system. He is a 1990's tier backup.

As I told Kelly the Dog there are bigger problems associated with our OL and receiving units than with our backup qb. Peterman was a fifth round pick for a reason. He was drafted in the lower part of the draft because he wasn't a scintillating talent. He is a backup at best.

The Bills bigger problem is that there are too many starters who fall in the category that they don't belong in the league. With respect to the highlighted segment entering the season the Bills were not considered by almost all NFL analysts a seriously contending team.

Livinginthepast Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm already slipping into "Charlie Brown" mode. Yes this time I will kick the football Lucy is holding and this time Nate Peterman will finally light it up in a regular season NFL game!! I know its absolute madness that is descending on me!! A question though? who will back up Peterman? Pryor? Who is on the practice squad as well. Peterman has already been concussed in one game last season. This is an absolutely insane situation for a professional sports franchise to put themselves in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backup qb on a rebuilding team is not one of the priorities that I am worried about. It's not the same argument. What I meant by not belonging in the league meant they are not physically able to play at this level for any reasonable amount of time. They shouldnt be considered not because they may not reach their potential but it's almost physically impossible. If you cannot throw an out pattern in the NFL you cannot play in the NFL. That's what I meant. Before the season last year and before the season this year, I said that Nate couldn't play, and ironically one of the three guys I compared him to, not being able to play is Matt Barkley (along with Kellen Moore and Colt McCoy, all of which are very smart and very accurate and have rag arms that prevent them from ever being good) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuvian Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I didn't think could be worse than under the Ryan Brothers, Chan Gailey and Dick Jauron but this team just seems find new depths with each passing year. I was perfectly willing to suffer growing pains under a young QB but there clearly isn't any support system in place for any QB. Good teams don't start QBs who have a week to learn a playbook. Beane seems obsessed with trotting out Peterman in the hope he can increase his value to get a 3rd round draft pick. I'm tired of paying professional football prices for amateur hour performance. It's too early and too reactionary to talk of firings but I'm just sick of feeling hopeless about this team year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any. Granted they should have had Anderson or a similar guy here when they traded McCarron but when injuries make you play three guys it just doesn't work out well. I will say this reminds me more and more of Ed Rutkowski. If Thomas has to step in Sunday it would be a return to '68. But the Bills started with their 3rd string QB. How many teams start a guy that shouldn't even be on a team, move on to a rookie, trade away the vet they had through all of camp, wait until 4 games in to sign someone else, have that person start the very next week out of necessity when he hadn't played a game in years, been through a camp, and was playing golf just the week before.

I think the reason people complain, at least my reasoning even though I am not really complaining as I don't care... They could have and should have done a better job in the off season. Same goes for receivers. They just let opportunities to get players in here pass them by because they either didn't want to use a crappy mid round pick or pay a player any kind of money. I get that they are building, but that doesn't mean they had to completely neglect the offensive side of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
