Mr. WEO Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 3 minutes ago, Doc said: Almost completely correct. The Bills traded McCarron to the Raiders for a 2019 5th rounder. So what? They paid a 3rd string QB 50% more than the Raiders just gave NP (and they had actually signed him for 2 years 10 million, lol!). The Bills blew the 5th round pick on Joseph, why the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The “so what” is that $4 million of the cap hit was from a signing bonus that was supposed to be paid out over two years. But when the Raiders were willing to trade for him they took the hit in one year, along with all the other cap hits they took that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: People here having a lot of fun with this...but it's worth recalling that the Bills paid AJ McCarron 4.1 million guaranteed dollars to be the 3rd string QB, only to cut him before the season started (which led to the infamous decision to make this same Nate Peterman the week 1 starter). Last year, the Texans paid AJ 4 millions for a single pass. You are a hard marker Weo.. They signed McCarron as an insurance policy after getting rid of Tyrods cap hit which I cant be bothered looking up but was excessive, and before the draft and picking JA ( which was obviously not a given)...

One game doesn't define a guy - that was a poor set of circumstances, to have his 1st start be on the road against one of the league's better pass rushes.

Two others were in the face of a rush that affected the throws. Still, I admit, when it got to five INTs, we were calling for Tyrod.

machine gun kelly Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The man has a job so good for him. In these times, where so many people are laid off, small businesses closing if he retains his job, great. Someone reminded me he was a 5th round pick so how much do you expect out of him? 3rd stringers don’t usually see a lot of time, so $2.7 mil. for holding a clipboard isn’t a bad thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 10 hours ago, ScottLaw said: No he’s really not... I think if you check, you will find he is. No telling how long that will last, but Peterman is in fact an NFL backup. Not a top-rank one, as his salary clearly shows, but he is one. He sure looked horrible here, but a part of the problem was that he shouldn't have been starting. The Bills were partly at fault in this. If you look at Peyton Manning's first four games, he threw 3 TDs and 11 INTS and had a QB rating around 50. Peterman is likely a very different guy now than he was when we saw him. And before the people with less than perfect understanding of arguments begin, no, I'm not saying Peterman should be compared with Manning in any way other than the way I just compared them. I'm using Manning as an example of a guy who turned into a superb QB who wasn't good when in his first few games on the field. And Manning was drafted way way above Peterman.

Actually, if there are any opposing players there, NP declines to make the throw and runs for it. 😁 * I previously referred to a video of Gruden ragging on Peterman in practice over holding the ball too long. Maybe the contract is to assuage hurt feelings? The Raiders have made a few Bizarro World decisions during the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will forever be convinced that the Bills' O Line refused to block for Peterman in that game. My mind cannot be changed. But Peterman was bad every time he took the field. Really bad. No fanbase in the NFL obsesses over the QB2 spot more than Bills fans. It's funny (kind of) how consumed Bills fans get over who the backup will be and how important it is. I, for one, am very happy for Nate Peterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Peterman proceeded to have more than one game with the Bills. For instance, he was our starter against the Ravens. For that game , he hd a 0 passer rating. Imagine that zero. Also, Peterman's career passer rating in the 30s is actually worse than what you would get just throwing the ball into the ground all the time as I recall.

It was great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
