JinVA Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I think Peters really screwed himself on this. He was getting bad press when he held out with 3 years left and now he's getting more bad press because of horrible play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'll let him slide till after the bye. Even if he has a poor game against AZ, you can still chalk that up to rust and not being on the same page as the rest of the line. Hell, it takes a full 4 game preseason game with 3 weeks or so of practice before the first preseason game for the line to get together. I'll give Jason Peters 5 games and a bye week. If Lynch doesn't get 100 yards against the chargers, primarily running left, i'd say screw you and let him rot with his right tackle contract. If he walks the walk, then hopefully the bills will prioritize him #2 right behind Greer this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastMode54 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yes Peters has had some bad plays, one leading to a sack and fumble, but I'd take Dick Jauron and the Buffalo Bills coaching staffs word that they are impressed by his play. He has made some mistakes, but in Dick Jaurons post game conference he said he was "amazed" at how well Peters has played after missing all that time. We all sh-- on the bad plays but he hasn't been horrible at all. I clearly remember him paving the way for Marshawn to get a TD in the Oakland game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting bad press when he held out with 3 years left and now he's getting more bad press because of horrible play. All deserved! IMO, we don't offer him squat this year unless he makes the PB.

VOR Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I agree that they should give him a new deal if he makes a dramatic turnaround this year and makes All-Pro again. Failing that, wait until training camp next year, after he's shown-up to all the OTA's, minicamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 He's averaging a sack and a penalty a game so far. He makes some plays but blows others. No need to renegotiate; I don't hate him but I also don't love him like I used to. Until he shows he's the player he was in 2007, he's just another guy to me.

Acantha Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Think any consideration is being given to Greer, or does the past draft indicate that he moves on? I don't think so. We have 5 CB's right now at various levels of development. I say do whatever we can to keep them together (add our safeties to that) as long as it's feasible. Greer isn't going to brake the bank, he should be kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting blown out of position on plays, and allowing pressure from his side constantly? Some mistakes? The guy looks average at best and Chambers looks better, not because of talent, but because of effort and stamina. You are giving Peters credit based on a pro-bowl appearance, and you haven't been studying his play. I have and he's a joke right now. He's actually below average right now.

John from Riverside Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I just think that Peters made himself look like total @hit with his holdout ESPECIALLY after what happened today..... The bills just told the world that if you are a team guy who shows up for work and performs you will get your money......they said it and they proved it today with Lee Evans..... Jason Peters is not playing as well as he was last year due to his holdout.....and is looking like a goof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ok.....He screwed himself. Remember how well he has played? Give him some time to get his **it together. He is young and dumb just like a lot of us used to be. I think he'll bounce back. As for his contract....perhaps he is beginning to see just how lucky he really is to be there. I think he's descovering that you have earn your money...a concept young people nowadays tend to have trouble understanding. He'll come around.

The Milkman Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 When you get the brakes on your car fixed, do you want to take it back three times so that the mechanic has time to get his **it together? When you go out to eat, are you willing to send your food back two or three times so that the cook has time to get his **it together? We all know that you don't. None of us do. If we aren't going to be patient with these guys, then why on earth should we be patient with Jason Peters? There are hundreds of guys who would give anything to have his roster spot for a lot less dough. Probably all but one or two couldn't carry his jock, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't owe the Bills and we fans his best efforts. An NFL career is short and most guys don't get second chances, especially guys who get paid what he thinks he is worth. In the what have you done for me lately world of the NFL he hasn't done enough. Before free agency, this may have been acceptable, but not anymore. The manchild needs to stop listening to all of those people who are telling him how great he is (or in this case was) and get off his bulbous butt and show us that he still is great. If he can't or won't then next year I hope he gets a chance to show a new team and group of fans what he is made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I think the Bills will talk extension with Peters now that he is with the team (as promised). My guess is, Peters doesn't want to actively start those talks until he picks up his level of play. Provided he returns to form, this season, I wouldn't be surprised to see Peters with a nice shiny new deal before the start of OTA's next year.

GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! You aren't totally wrong, even though you try to be. As the LT, Peters is one of the most important players on the team. When performing at Pro Bowl level, he is also one of the best players on the team. Right now, due to a poor business strategy, he is behind the curve, and is playing below his usual level. If he doesn't improve, and return to his previous level of play, he shouldn't get any more $ from the Bills. A more likely scenario, IMO, is his play will improve and he will, once again, become one of the Bills' best and most important players. When that happens, the Bills are likely to pay him, accordingly. A real Bills fan should be happy about that, if and when it happens. In fact, if one were to dig through the archives of TSW, I think one would find a plethora of posts from "The Senator" singing the praises of Jason Peters. One bad business decision later, The Senator now dubs him "a bum" (my interpretation of The Sen's characterizations). Interesting, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Peters should fire his current agent and hire Evan's agent. He should then not say a peep until the season is over. Do you think there is any reason to believe he is still injured and this is why his play is so poor? Do you want to sign someone like this?
