SoCal Deek Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I’ve always wondered why he didn’t go play in the CFL. Seems like he’s able to hang around NFL rosters, just below the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearNorth Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 People forget another Bills backup, who went on to win his ring as the OC for the Eagles, I could see Peterman becoming a QB coach then OC after his career is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Peterman is proof that there is a lack of NFL caliber talent at QB. Bears will go run heavy if he is under center. I do not fault him for pursuing his dream and earning a paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I root for him as I can see myself in him somehow ha ha. OK, that's quite a stretch, but one can dream. He's made so much money that I salute his resilience.

Common man.... When people sue employers it does not encourage employers to sign you. And Kapernick was given a tryout and was not signed by Seattle's QB Whisperer reportedly for financial reasons so I would guess he would want a lot more than Peterman and would not be willing to be on practice squad and elevated when #1 QB and #2 QB were not elevated. But continue beating that dead horse bringing up same points made in other threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 For the Bills, he was fine in practice, but his nerves got the best of him in games. After several years in the league, he may have calmed down enough to actually produce in games. I have nothing against him. He's been a fringe player not for quite a while, but he may have actually improved over time. Don't know if he'll ever get a chance to show it.

Bubba Gump Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Peterman is like herpes, he's always in the background somewhere, ready to come out at any time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Sometimes a team decides it's out of the playoff run, or that if it somehow manages to sneak into the playoffs, it'll surely be one and done. Sometimes that team changes QBs as a not-so-subtle way of tanking. Sometimes that new QB plays the role perfectly. It's not as easy as it seems! You have to be marginally acceptable as an NFL QB or the fans (and in turn the players, coaches and ownership) will revolt. But you can't be good enough that the team actually is better with you than it was with the guy you replaced; that ruins everything. Nate Peterman is that first guy - the guy who was so bad that the tank was immediately called off and the status quo mediocrity (Tyrod) was reinistated. We saw the same thing this year with Indy going with the utterly unprepared Sam Ehlinger. You can do this in Game 17 (think "Cardale Jones gets the start") because that fan revolt doesn't matter anymore. But you can't do it in Game 11. So my theory of "tank but don't look like you're actually trying to lose" means Peterman gets activated and then gets the Week 17 start when Fields sits out with a phantom injury. Meanwhile, guys like Taylor Heinecke and Gardner Minshew screw up your tank-and-get-better-draft-position strategy by actually being an improvement over the incumbent. You do not want these guys anywhere near your non-playoff team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think it is possible for him to follow Geno Smith model. If he is lucky he will be signed as backup QB in Seattle next year for the QB Whisperer to remodel.

Peterman does not have the arm that Geno Smith has, and that limits his ceiling. At best, he's probably a game managing backup, but he can make a career out of that if he can get his nerves under control and if he has improved his ability to read NFL defenses.

I see no reason why he can't be Trevor Siemien. Yeah, that's not good, but it's a perfectly acceptable backup. I don't know why (maybe I'm just too nice a person?), but I want him to have a tiny bit of success before he hangs up the cleats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
