prissythecat Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Worst QB in NFL “..... In less than two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Peterman appeared in eight games and made four starts. He threw three touchdowns with 12 interceptions and had a 32.5 passer rating. Keep in mind that throwing every pass into the ground earns a quarterback a 39.6 rating. .... “ Think about how mind boggling it is that Peterman’s QB rating would have been better if he spiked the ball on every snap instead .

Not recognizing your limitations after repeated, glaring failures is simply self-delusion. 8 hours ago, JohnC said: You are going to be irritated by his presence for a long time because he is going to be hanging around. He was drafted to be a backup and that is what he is going to do. As long as Peterman wastes a roster space for a team other than the Bills, that's hardly irritating. It's a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 20 hours ago, Doc said: I was a big fan of Peterman up until that disastrous Chargers game. The guy doesn't have the arm strength but thinks he does, and that's a dangerous thing. Think about that Chargers game and what happened. Joey Bosa stated after the game that that right side of the Bills line didn't get a hand on him... Mills, Miller and the OC for that year are all gone now. Still, five interceptions... In the 2018 opener, Peterman started that Ravens game with one of the very worst offensive lines the Bills have ever fielded along with an OC that wanted him to throw deep...a formula for a disaster. Not to mention that the Bills didn't have much of an RB run game to take the pressure off the QB and he had little escape-ability. Asking Peterman to throw 49 times against that Bears defense with Shady going 10 rush attempts for 10 yards The kid isn't as bad as he showed IMO as he needed to be in a west coast scheme with an OC who could see his limitations as he didn't have the arm to throw that 18 yard out pass. That said, I'm glad he is a Raider. 3 TDs, 12 INTs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an excuse for a QB who hasn't started yet in the NFL or who maybe had 1 or 2 games where he played in garbage time. There's enough game film on Peterman for coaches to realize that whatever he shows in practice doesn't translate onto the field in game time when games actually count. He's not the first, and he won't be the last, NFL QB who plays great in practice but sucks in regular season games. He's just so singularly bad -- his faults are both mental and physical -- that the coaches who keep giving him chances have to arrogantly think they are so superior to everybody else that they're capable of turning water into wine. Gruden has never seen a QB he didn't love because his ego won't let him accept that even he can't fix every QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
