dgrochester55 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Somewhere in New Orleans. Exec 1: Carr is too turnover prone and Winston has a history of interceptions. We need a different option. Exec 2: I know, how about Nathan Peterman Exec 1: Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 2 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: He is a terrible football player, agreed. But to your words of "he is still taking a job", it's the front offices who are willingly paying him. I really don't blame him or his agent to continue getting employed as a player. I don’t blame them but I don’t like it either. It’s a different form of nepotism. It’s like, “he’s an easy personality to have in the room and not a real threat to the job.” More power to him, but I think it’s BS that a more qualified individual doesn’t get the opportunity because he’s a known “nice guy.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not disagreeing with what you are saying. My point is that it's not Peterman's fault that he keeps getting jobs. He sucks on the field but has done a good job marketing himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 There were three times in all my years of Bills fandom that I thought I witnessed a football career come to a premature end. When Kevin Everett got hurt. When Hamlin got hurt. And when Nathan Peterman threw 5 picks before halftime in his first start. I was wrong on two of the three. So happy for Hamlin. As for Peterman, I'm still kind of amazed that his career has lasted another 6 years and counting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonMan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Not many 5th round QBs survive this long in the NFL. Looking at the teams he played for, he has really just been a backup on a rebuilding team throughout his career. There hasn't been high expectations that he'll need to come off the bench and save a team trying to make the playoffs. So, given the teams he's played for and the situations, he's a good candidate for NO this year. I don't think there are high expectations there for 2024 and if he is another "coach in the room" or on the practice field, this is an excellent decision. Low cap hit for a vet that can help "coach'em up". Good FA "pick" for New Orleans. As a previous poster noted, he may be setting himself up for a post-career coaching gig. Win-Win for him and New Orleans. My 2 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I won't be satisfied until Peterman latches himself onto that genuinely unlikeable Sean Payton, and either causes Payton to see the error of his ways, or causes Payton CVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 This guy has made $7 MILLION in career earnings so far! Just amazing how rich you can get, being literally below average, in today's sports scene. The NHL is filled with nobodies making 2 or 3 million a year who will never be worth a damned as a player, but they make up the numbers and will enjoy a 10 year career being crap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I gotta hand it to Peterman. He's made a career of it, even though he is below average. 32 teams at 3 QB's each, I guess there's room for someone like Peterman in the 96 spots. Think about it.. he made a million bucks playing for the Bears, that sure beats a 9-5 job. Edited March 15 by boater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others as well, many of whom are closer to the last guy than Barkley. Barkley more qualified than Peterman? They are both terrible.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 40 minutes ago, NoSaint said: it’s wild that dozens of other guys that are better can’t be pleasant and hardworking Weird used Barkley as an example. He stinks. He’s better than Peterman and seems to be a good teammate. He’s a smart guy. I understand maybe not wanting to bring someone like Cam in (even though that feels nuts). You might say that he isn’t a guy that you want breathing down the neck for a starter. You’d think a guy like Danny Etling is a better “shot” at this point than Peterman.

I guarantee he is the most dedicated backup QB in the game right now. He’s getting the starter coffee, turning on the projector, prepping the film. he’s probably doing it all. Good for him. His body wouldn’t allow him to be an NFL player, but he’s gonna get an NFL pension because he knows his role and does it the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
