Gruden hearts Peterman

I’m cheering for Nate.  Seems like a genuinely good guy....plus any Peterman success would piss of Bill “Historically Bad” Barnwell and co.

 But it’s completely true.  It’s not NP’s fault.  He just doesn’t have a nfl arm.  

 

And has an “offensive” guru ever been worse with qbs than Gruden?  He loved RJ and wanted him to start for the Bucs.  One of the most overrated coaches ever.

History doesn't not always determine the present and the future. I was not impressed with Tyrod as a starter. However, as a backup he is carving out an extended and lucrative career. I'm hoping that you and Gunner will be wrong about his survival chances in the league. We shall see. :)

Tyrod is Joe Montana compared to Peterman.

Again, We shall see if Peterman can carve out a niche as a backup. For those who have proclaimed him to be the worst qb in the world you should be aware that he is still in the league.

Did you ever watch someone else get in a car accident?  I mean not where someone got hurt, but just a fender bender where you just knew it was going to be like $5000 of damage?

Tyrod has a winning record as a starter and didn’t make mistakes. You only have your resume to stand on. Nate’s resume is WAY worse than a lot of guys that were given less chances. Were you appalled that Levi Brown didn’t get more chances? Was he treated unfairly? He certainly never collapsed like Peterman. Why does Nate deserve a chance? He has failed at his. I feel much worse for guys like Brown or Hamdan or the thousands of other guys that didn’t get the chance that Nate did (and keeps getting). 

 

It is a production business and he has not EARNED a spot on a NFL roster. He has been GIVEN it because he’s a nice guy. If I were EJ or whomever, I’d be furious. This guy that hasn’t never done anything is taking a check that I am more deserving of.

 

How would you feel if that was your job? What if you were in a sales role and everyone liked you. You were BY FAR the worst salesman in the organization but they fired someone else because you were a nice guy. That other guy has a family. That other guy has proven to be better at the role than you. Why should he not have the chance but a proven failure should?

FWIW, I think Ryan Leaf would love to quibble with you in terms of single game disasters

That’s close, I think Grossman had a game that was equally terrible. They also had moments of success. Nate only failed.

It's almost like Peterman's the tire and the SUV is Raida Nation.

Last year's Bears game should have been Peterman's last game ever.  Absolutely horrible.  I'm being nice because several posters would say he should have been gone even sooner.

This x 1,000. Nate has stolen enough money from NFL teams that other people were more deserving of. I wish him the best in life but he does not deserve an NFL paycheck. 

 

We’ll see.  His performances as starter definitely left a lot to be desired.  Like I said, I love underdog stories in sports so I hope he can turn it around because, yes, he is a great person

Kirby, the whole “they kept him around because he’s a nice guy,” is pure speculation and conjecture on your part.  

 

As you pointed out being “nice” is not really criteria for a roster spot.  There has to be a reason why the McDermott’s and Gruden of the world kept him on a roster.  We don’t know what that is, but then again, we aren’t NFL coaches.

The kid can flat out ball in TC! 

 

 

This is beautiful, HUDs.

 

I mean I'm still chuckling.

 

"Bert, I love this kid.  He is just making all the right throws you want to see from a QB in a t-shirt and shorts!  The throw he made without an o-line and d-line to the intern who fetches water was surely a sight to see!"

I wish Peterman well and hope he’s able to carve out an NFL career for himself. 

It would actually make me happy if he’s able to turn things around for himself in Oakland. 

 

 

 

How dare you cheer for him.  He’s an ex Bill.  And he threw 5 INT in one half.  And he’s “historically bad.”

 

The audacity!?!?!?!?

Peterman was an unmitigated disaster when in game action, HISTORICALLY bad.... 

 

However, in shorts during Mini Camp, TC, and then in fake games for preseason, he didn't look nearly as bad.  

 

I always wanted the guy cut after his disaster in 2017, let alone being the starter in 2018... it was a joke, HOWEVER people conveniently forget that he actually didn't look terrible.

 

I think we all thought he would meltdown, and he did, but it was always possible he didn't as well.  

 

 

Sooo fast forward to now, he's in shorts and camp, when he looked good for us.  Stands to reason he'd look good for the Raiders too.

That’s the problem with him being a backup.  He’s a player away from playing.  He was literally the worst nfl qb I have ever seen.  I know he’s a nice guy.  Honestly, I didn’t even get mad watching him. I just laughed. 

 

Even quarterback who is not in the nfl has a right to be pissed that Peterman is. But it will be hilarious when Carr gets hurt and Brown is “catching” passes from Peterman.

Here are some facts then:

 

- 356 QBs have thrown at least 130 passes over the last 40 NFL seasons. Nate Peterman ranks DEAD LAST with a passer rating of 32.5. Only one other player (Spergyon Wynn at 39.5) is below a rating of 42.

 

- Nate Peterman’s 9.2 INT % ranks DEAD LAST and only one other guy is above a 7 (Peter Tom Willis at 8.2).

 

Peterman is doing this in an era where guys are lighting it up in the passing game. To further the example, since he entered the league his passer rating is 32.5. The next lowest of ANY QB in that window with at least 130 pass attempts is 60. The next worst QB in the league has been TWICE as good as Nate.

Matt Barkley, who had awful career numbers and still only has a 68 career qb rating, had a 117 qb rating in his one start with same group Peterman did!

Try to put yourself in his shoes. You are about to take a test, let's say a math test. You're not the best in at the subject matter, because you aren't able to come up with the answer as fast as others, but you have figured out a way to work around it by really understanding the concepts and using deductive reasoning to solve the problems just about as well, and in some cases better than those that just flat out were born really good already.

 

So you sit down for the test, but instead of the typical 2 minutes per question, you only have a minute. You've practiced at a minute per question, but the questions were easier and the stakes were much lower. So you bomb the test. Worst ever performance.

 

Are you ensured to never do well again, and you should just quit and type on message boards all day? No, you didn't fail because you weren't capable, it's too early to say that based on the sample size. You need to practice more to get how you are good at the subject to align with the increased difficulty of the subject.

 

That is Nathan Peterman. He terribly failed a few tests, but showed consistent improvement in getting his skill set upgraded. No his arm will never win games, but he didn't di terribly because if his arm. Most of that was him being baited into bad throws, because the game was moving too fast. 

 

It's too early to say he's the worst ever, or maybe that's fair, so instead unfair to say he will remain the worst ever.

I think McD and Beane kept him around to be on the PS but his TC play combined with the horrid play by AJ forced their hand.  Honestly, I think it says more about what they thought of him that they were willing to start guys off the street with a week of practice over him twice in a four week stretch.

 

Gruden, on the other hand, picked up both EJ and AJ after the book was pretty much written, soooooo... maybe he just has a thing for really bad QBs.

Is anyone really all that shocked after Gruden basically kicked off NP's NFL career with this segment? He's always liked him, and feels like he can fix Nate, clearly.

It is shocking that Nate Peterman's name is still being mentioned in NFL circles.

 

It's incredible how many chances these guys get.

 

There just aren't many guys out there that that can play the position, so those that kind of, sort of look like they might be able to do it get every chance in the world, and then some.

 

It's nuts.

Peterman runs the best "Booger O" in the NFL.

No he won't.  Gruden collects terrible quarterbacks like kids used to collect baseball cards.  This guy once had Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski, Luke McCown, Brian Griese, Tim Rattay, and Chris Simms in a 3 year span.

 

He likes Peterman because he does what he's told and can deliver the ball in 7 on 7's. I suspect McDermott liked him for the same reason.  When the game actually starts Peterman is terrible.
