Well if you go by these population numbers since 1960’s Buffalo’s population has declined by a combined 75%. Obviously these numbers are inaccurate as housing is booming and buyer’s are competing for available properties, the medical corridor is expanding exponentially, Canalside/Harborside is booming and we will be getting a new kid’s museum and other new construction and renovations are going on continuously. The Buffalo Region is definitely on the rise and the evidence is all around us!

Still working on a better name, but my Doc diagnosed him with “Jet-Lag Fumbalitis”

Lol 😂 I was thinking the same thing! Drill Sarge had to treat Gomer much nicer than he preferred with a General being his Daddy! (Even if he really wasn't)

I would have selected him in the fourth round, despite having a second round grade on Peterman, because I felt he would still be available at that point of the draft according to where the so-called draft experts i.e. Mel Kiper and many mock draft sites had projected him to go. I was afforded that luxury as my job wasn't hanging in the balance like Doug Whaley's. I'm not going to over-draft him in the 2nd or 3rd round if I think he will be on the board in the 4th as that would be ludicrous.Yes, he was at the top of my QB class on my positional board, so he was an absolute steal in the 4th, and even more so in the 5th round! Russel Wilson, Tom Brady, Dak Prescott were all obvious steals in their draft classes as well!!! Drafting is like poker... I would never expose the fact that Peterman was slotted as my top QB prospect on my draft board! I'm not going to spend 2,600 points in draft value compensation if I feel I can get extreme value out of a player by only giving up 300-600 points for him and instead use a high pick on another asset! Yes, it's a bluffing game and if I suspected another team was hot on his trail and willing to use a 3rd round pick on Peterman, I would have had to use a 2nd or 3rd round pick on him, as he was the QB that I wanted. I know it's bold to say, but I believe as a whole the 2017 draft class was over-drafted and over-valued! I didn't rate any QB's as first round talent. I think every QB had shortcomings, including Peterman's lack of ideal arm strength. Through strength and conditioning, I believe Peterman will become a Tier 1 QB, but he hasn't arrived just yet, but is making progress as witnessed in the preseason. I would have liked to have seen him air it out a bit by throwing a few deep balls, but his accuracy is pretty good as Clay and T. Jones and others have dropped some very catchable balls. His quick release is exceptional and Brady-like. That being said, I think he can nickle&dime his way downfield and sustain long drives until he is ready to add the deep routes to his menu. It's a little premature to forecast the 2018 QB class, but I like Darnold more than Allen and there are 2 or 3 other QB's who are potentially in contention to be in this conversation.. I really prefer to draft a Senior when possible and that has to be weighed with talent, any medical, behavioral red flags, leadership and character traits etc.. a lot to consider, but sometime in April I will know my order. If it were today, I would go with Darnold... 🏈

So my take on Peterman is that he has the potential to be a special starting QB in the NFL. I study football and have a NFL Draft War Room in my home! I doubled-up my accelerated Master's degree program at St. Bonaventure in Strategic Leadership so I could Graduate last December in advance of the rest of my class. It was critical that I did so, so I could watch all the bowl games, East/West especially, National Championshiip Game, watch video on college prospects, watch the NFL Combine in Indy, read about pro days etc... I have my own system of measures and analytics to determine the order of my draft board. My success rate in drafting NFL players has been much better than the Bills track record over the past 15 years! Although that isn't much to brag about, as I could've achieved that by purchasing 3 NFL Draft Magazines at the grocery store! The last QB that I felt so sure about and had as a Bills selection on my draft card was: Russel Wilson! We would have also drafted other great player's like Hali Ngnata, Rob Gronkowski, G.Bay's Clay etc.. My drafts would've netted us 13 current All-Pro's on our roster! (Much like our '90-93 roster) Not all of my picks have been hits, but few are misses! Drafting is an imperfect art, but you can increase your odds by staying clear of certain red flags: Behavioral, Medical... And putting emphasis on fully committed players who are Seniors! Certain physical characteristics are important factors, but not every outlier should be discarded...That's where I saw the value of Russel Wilson and weighed the intangibles of character, leadership, and work ethic! Barring injury, I just knew he was going to be elite... he may lack ideal height, but he more than compensates through improvising and finding a pathway to success! Everything I read and seen of him told me that he had something special within!!! There were clues that Ryan Leaf might fail... just some breadcrumb trails, but they were present to the watchful eye! My point is that I had Nathan Peterman on my draft board in the 4th round. After everything was analyzed thoroughly, I was certain that Peterman had the character, drive and ability to potentially be a tier 1 QB! His height is adequate (not ideal) and he can needle the ball in tight windows and make most NFL throws. I believe he could add some arm strength to improve his velocity and ability to throw the long-ball which may be his two weaknesses. Peterman should and will work on his strength and conditioning and should improve his arm/shoulder strength.... He has good feet, can scramble when necessary and is a student of the game and makes intelligent choices both on and off the field! He played a pro-style offense as QB at Pitt and was a great leader who led his team past Clemson! (Their only loss) Everything I see tells me that Nathan Peterman is destined to be a Top Tier Starting QB in the NFL and win championships! I think he will get the breaks that give him the opportunities to showcase his talent at the position. I think he has many intangibles that outweigh any limitations that are revealed. He is the most NFL ready QB in the 2017 draft and I nearly lost my composure when the Bills selected Nathan Peterman! In 2016 the opposite reaction was reserved for the Reggie Ragland pick! I was upset as the pick did not make sense to me as I had red flags on my draft board and could not fathom given up additional ammo (draft picks) to select him! Unfortunate, one year later I was proven right! I may have gotten off topic slightly, but I rarely comment as I learn much more from reading, watching and analyzing than talking (typing)! Thanks 🙏 for bearing with me and I don't expect many of you to agree with most of what I've said, but I have been proven right often enough where I have confidence in my opinions on drafting and on Nathan Peterman. I could envision myself in the front office of the Buffalo Bills. Not because of earnings...as that's not a true motivator... it's the passion that matters!!! Go Bills!!! 🏈

For me it had to be a small bodied Lou Piccone who would go face first into the ground to catch a poorly passed football 🏈 and actually catch it! I was young, but was amazed how hard he would try to catch a low pass almost at ground level... I doubt he is well documented and probably never a starter? But he reminded me of that Rudy type of guy that was all effort! Wish some of our current players would give the same effort!!!

If we traded our HC for Patriots HC! Or our OC for their OC, or DC for D.C...QB, WR's, etc.. 😩

I like P A T S cheat cheat cheat as well, kinda like the Jets chant! I like that constant annoying C-H-E-A-T-E-R as well and hope to hear both!! Don't know why the other guy sounds angry and talking about "City B$/@!" ? Why doesn't he just post his own if he doesn't like my idea? I want us to beat them down too, but it's hard to make it a chant !

A very appropriate, funny, Chant would be for the Bills fans to annoy Tom Brady with C-H-E-A-T-E-R......C-H-E-A-T-E-R !!!!! It would really get to him after a while!

Darn it! You stole my thunder....Good Job!
