Peterman the $614k scapegoat

The offense is bad. Peterman is the worst starting QB in the NFL. 

 

He is NOT a starting quarterback. He is the 3rd QB. The starter and backup are injured. He started game 1 because they didn't want to start their franchise QB and the guy they brought in to start broke his collar bone in preseason and Peterman got the job.  The mistake was not starting Allen in game 1 like the Jets did with their QB. Allen should have started with Peterman his backup or 3rd QB when they got a veteran willing to play for them. Perhaps they knew how bad this line was.

69/133 (51.9%) for 563 Yards (4.23 YPA, 141 Yards per Start), 3 TDs (2.26%), 13 INTs (9.77%). 18 Rushes for 76 Yards (4.22 YPC) for 1 TD. 30.9 Passer Rating, -0.01 ANY/A.

 

Regardless of what he's being paid, the Pegulas are not getting their money's worth.

 

EDIT: Oh, and after yesterday's game he's now thrown as many TDs to Bills opponents as he has to Bills WRs...

I don’t believe that Nate Peterman can orchestrate an offense that scores in the top half of the league (24-27 points). He doesn’t belong in the league and will be out of it before the year is over. 

 

There is is something to be said for giving a young QB a chance. The Chiefs surrounded Mahomes with weapons and Andy Reid. We gave Josh Allen, Jason Croom and Brian Daboll. That is a massive organizational failure. They haven’t done that kid any favors. 

Definitely agree with you that they haven’t done him any favors

A backup should be at least capable of running the offense at an intermediate level. He's terrible and does not possess the mental makeup nor the arm strength to be functional in this league.

I love the Scramble on the untimed hail mary. That was impressive 

 

Reminds me of the scramble/hail mary by Trent Edwards on a 4th and 11, with a minute left in the game against the Packers, that ended with Edwards just running out of bounds.

Here's my prediction.  Nate will be cut at the end of this week going into the bye.  The only reason Nate saw the field this week was because he was the only healthy QB who knew the playbook.  Hell, before this week McD even said he was an emergency QB only.  Allen-Anderson and Barkley (maybe) will be the QBs for the final six games after the bye.   Allen will be the starter. 

 

I expected an awful year...if you didn't expect an awful year, you weren't watching.  The Wood and Incognito situations made it bad, the QB injuries made it untenable.  This is the worst offense since the 1983-85 period....reminds us how bad things can be. I have hope this can turnaround.  Beane had a lot to do with the Panthers OL and skill positions.  Players like McCaffery, Olson and Samuels were drafted with him in a key role and some good OL came there as well.  Take heart my Bills brothers and sisters.  Better days are ahead.

They aren't cutting any quarterback until the end of the year, except Barkley. This line can't protect quarterbacks.  They might move Peterman to practice squad so they can move him up when Allen or Anderson get injured, which is likely considering Anderson lasted 2 games and Allen lasted 5 games. Actually a little concerned starting Allen against Jacksonville. That D hits. Rather start Anderson if healthy and give Allen last 5 games.

Peterman is terrible, but as a bonus he's only $614K terrible!! Sadly the OP is right about the other Bills mentioned. They are even worse!! When your so called high end offensive talent has that few scores that is beyond embarrassing.  Shady is having a bad year but KB and Clay have no excuses!!

They have to cut Peterman to move him to the practice squad.

Nate Peterman ran the ball on a Hail Mary. 

 

He is horrible. Has no situational awareness and turns the ball over on 11.5% of his pass attempts

Did you hear his excuse as to why he ran? Guy is just not talented but also a liar. A flat out liar. 

 

Morally, the guy is not right

People have turned Peterman into a punching bag when in actuality he gets paid $614k, what a 3rd QB gets paid. The real problem are the big 4 highly paid "stars" on offense. Look at those contracts and look at their production. The Big 4 on offense have been awful. Their stats through NINE games is beyond bad. In fact Peterman has thrown for a TD and run for a TD. Those 2TD's are more than McCoy, Clay, and Benjamin have COMBINED.

 

Josh Allen $ 3.85M

832Yds 2TD 5 INT

 

LeSean McCoy $8.95M

267yds ZERO TD's

 

Charles Clay $9.00M

169yds ZERO TD's

 

Kelvin Benjamin $8.5M

302yds 1TD

 

Clay is an absolute disaster here.   I would try to trade him to the Rams (they could use a TE upgrade) for a 7th.  Or a conditional 7th.  Anything to free up his cap space next year.  Croom and Thomas can pickup the slack.

exactly.  Everyone is on Peterman, and rightly so.  He's bad.  But he's a 3rd string QB.  We are basically getting 3rd string play from him.   Clay has not stepped up, KB has not stepped up.  When your QB goes down, you need your "stars" to step-up and help the backup.  So far, no one on this offense is stepping up.  

 

Hopefully we don't have KB and Clay here next year and can use that money on OL and other talent to help the QB.

I'm not a Peterman guy but it incredible how many of his ball go off receivers hands and are picked.   I first one he thrown to ivory should have been picked and returned.  Ivory had two hands on it chest high.  I guy is just jinx the DiMarco one in San Diego just started it off and ruined this guy.

Technically, not a drop at all. It was a “pass defensed” - the db got his hand in right away right at the point of where the ball wound up in his hands and swatted it away. A better wr with stronger hands (boldin, watkins) hangs on, but most wrs in the league don’t make that catch.

I really don't think even the very, very best wide receivers make that catch more than 50% of the time. Benjamin had it in his two hands at the very apex of his jump. It was actually great timing on his part. It's physically impossible to have ultimate hand strength at that moment. Immediately as he brought it down the defender got his whole arm in there to knock it away. That wasn't a drop at all. He could have caught it but it was far more a pass breakup and great defensive play than a drop. 

 

And I hate defending Benjamin. He's pitiful this year. And lazy.
