WTF with the “feel bad for Peterman” posts?

The same people who think Fredo should be able to kiss a hooker on the lips and felt bad when Joffrey died.  Keep up!

I just don't remember much sympathy for Bania. Costanza had a soft spot for the ovaltine bit. Didn't have to think much. Other than that, he was wildly unpopular.

Yes, that would be the joke.  Who felt bad for Fredo?  Who is falling in love with hookers?  The same pathetic saps crying for Peterman.

I bet McDermott has a soft spot for Bania

I feel bad for him.  He was handled as poorly as any QB I can remember, and put into some truly untenable situations,  Almost Kobayashi Maru-like.

I fall in love with hookers almost every time I get wasted.

Classy post.

I like lots of things about him, but he had ample opportunity to show he belonged with the team, and didn't.  The NFL is a business, and teams are not going to keep a  player as an act of charity.  I get that, and I'm OK with it.

Seriously people; a 5th freaking round draft pick who got numerous chances to play in meaningful NFL games, and shat himself at every opportunity. Get real and send your sympathy to someone who needs/deserves it!!!!

 

(oh and by the way he probably earned close to $1M for the effort)

call me a wuss if you like, but I feel bad for any good person who loses his/her job. And in Peterman's case, he is unlikely to be in the career for which he trained the majority of his life. In reverse to your opinion, I dont understand the lack of empathy for a guy who did not wrong as a team mate.

What began as a simple case of Peterman Interception Sympathy Syndrome, or PISS for short, has morphed into general empathy for the player and human being and its just sickening.  Talk to your doctor about PISS before its too late.

Why do you find it "sickening" ?

Because your emotions are ugly and weak.  Peterman sympathy must be eradicated if this team is to take the next step forward.

I would suggest that it was probably over at halftime of Week 1...

 

The fact he got a bit more time in other games later in the year was gravy..

[folz]

The NFL (and life) is a crazy thing. He goes to some other team with an established QB and plays good in practice and he ends up being a career backup, collecting NFL checks for the next ten to fifteen years (ala McCown, Derek Anderson). Or he sits behind a good QB for four years and maybe learns enough, gets fully acclimated to the NFL, and at least gets a shot to compete for a starting job in FA at that point. Maybe by then he's ready to at least be a competent starter in the league and sticks around for a few years. But instead he goes to a team that is almost forced to press him into service too young, too green and now he may never get another chance at his dream of an NFL career.

 

If you can't feel bad for someone maybe losing their dream, I don't know what to say. And to appear to be angry at him, when all the kid did was come in here and be a good teammate and try his best, seems ludicrous. You can maybe blame the coaches for starting him, but you can't blame the kid himself who was just trying to do his best under the circumstances.

 

And sure, maybe he just wasn't good enough and wouldn't ever be good enough, guys wash out of the league all the time, but not under a cloud of national ridicule. That does deserve sympathy not more ridicule. He has to deal with being the 5 INTs in a half guy, etc. Let's face it, he did not make the most of his opportunities (which is why he is gone), but he was also put in a difficult position to succeed. So, yeah, I feel bad for the guy.

 

Good luck Nathan with football and life! Hope you get at least one more chance to prove yourself in the league.

He isn’t dying though...His life will go on and compared to a lot of us, he will probably have just as a “successful” life if not more so..

 

His prior “life ambition” was a very limited  field where only the very few make it as far as he did..

 

At least he had an opportunity which most of his peers never got..

He realized his football dreams.  He played D1, won some games.  He got drafted.  He landed on an NFL roster.  He even started a few games.  He threw a TD pass and ran one in. 

 

Nate doesn't define himself as a football player.

We did lol. A lot. I was banging my head against the wall because I see worse on many NFL teams every week. But people pointed to one game in his career as the reason we had to move on. Should we have moved on? Probably. Should we move on for one game and not consider Tyrod's body of work as being by far one of our better recent Quarterbacks (who didn't retire on us *Orton)? Ludicrous. You never heard anybody say that from the saints game to just before week 1 this season?

 

No you don't.

 

Tyrod vs the Saints was about as bad of a game as any starting QB can have in the NFL.

 

He just avoids INTs by not throwing the ball. He also avoids points and yards as well -- that's why we had to move on. TT was the exact same QB in Cleveland and it lasted all of three games. 

 

 

That's not exactly a high bar to cross. He was one of our better QBs of the past 20 years -- but not as good as Bledsoe, Fitz, Orton, or Flutie. 

 

Better than JP, Trent, Brian, EJ, Cardale, Thad, or Jeff. Congratulations on being better than "absolute garbage".

Because no matter how many times we cover the topic some of you still think even the most lowly, wretched, fallen angel can be redeemed.  You still think people who perform horrible, unspeakable acts for money can be saved.  And you're also falling in love with hookers and that's just f#@$%ing stupid.

There's no hatred from me. From a pure football standpoint I'm happy we moved on. That's the emotion conveyed. Like we've done hundreds of times with Maybin, EJ, Flowers, Mike Williams, Torrell Troupe. Like it's hypocrisy at this point to judge somebody for appreciating a sound football move and ignore that this has happened thousands of times for the Bills. Why does Peterman deserve to Garner more sympathy than EJ? Don't get it.

 

Well I could give a reason why, but the holier than thou crowd get real, real mad whenever I point these things out.

Lol I know the reason as well. Has nothing to do with a bad player with expectations greater than they were capable of. Because we've had tons of cuts like that no one cared about one bit.

I remember a poster on here a month or two coming to grips with it. He prefaced his point of how Peterman should be cut with "Look he's a good man, one I'd want my daughter to marry"... when people start saying stuff like that, something else is going on.

 

Guy got cut, he wasn't volunteering. He got paid, he wasn't good. That's it. End of story. I don't really feel one way or the other for Peterman. He got a nice paycheck for his time here.

If his life's ambition is to be an NFL QB, it's hardly over.  He's 24 years old.  24! If he's got the competitive fire that athletes typically have, he'll likely get back to work on his game quickly.  I'd wager that he'll be in a training camp next year.  He'll get another shot at this. My gosh Barkley has thrown 18 picks in not many NFL games and signed a 2 year $3 mil contract with the Bengals before this season and after 1 good game the same people crapping on Peterman are yelling for Barkley to start.  Josh McCown threw more picks than TDs almost every year for the first 8-9 years of his career and continued to hang around and get opportunities and finally had some break out stretches and seasons in his 30's.  Point is that it's hardly over.  It's a big setback but people can get better at whatever they do if they commit themselves to it.  Wouldn't surprise me at all if Nate became a good backup in the league down the road.  Doesn't mean the Bills should have kept him, just means that he's got work to do to get to the next opportunity.

I think what the OP doesn’t understand is that the reason a lot of us feel bad for the guy is that he’s been the subject of such crazy over the top vitriol from “fans” taking things to an extreme, that this is an opposite completely natural reaction to have, otherwise known as human empathy.
