  1. According to who? I did find this and he's no where in the Top 10. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2713730-nfl-1000-ranking-the-best-deep-throwers
  2. If you already knew the answer then why did you form it as a question? Let me guess: you enjoy being a sanctimonious pot-stirrer.
  3. No, that's not correct.
  4. I'm concerned about his arm strength but check out this bullet to his receiver for the 60 yard touchdown.
  5. He's all about protecting the football. Taylor is Marrone's wet dream.
  6. I can't see how Taylor is not the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting QB in 2018. He and Marrone will go to the playoffs because their defense is loaded and Taylor doesn't turn the ball over. Marrone is probably already sending love letters to Tyrod as we speak. Great article, btw. I don't like how bad he thinks the Bills are, but he's probably right. Everything else is on point.
  7. It looks to me like he's spent his entire life studying Peyton Manning's actions in the pocket. His footwork and how he holds the ball near his ear are extremely similar. Obviously he doesn't have Manning's size but he's very fundamentally sound.
  8. His college career and resulting assessment is very similar to Brady's. Like Brady, Peterman lacked the overwhelming size/strength and physical traits, which resulted in being overlooked a bit by coaches. Politics held them both back. Mega-recruit Drew Henson kept taking playing time from Brady, while Dobbs was the recruit of new HC Butch Jones - who didn't recruit Peterman. Peterman probably should have seen the writing on the wall after his redshirt freshman season and transferred a year earlier than he did. Then when each finally had an opportunity to start in their redshirt junior seasons, they ran run-oriented pro-style offenses that didn't feature the quarterback. Obviously Brady is the GOAT and Peterman will not be. But when you analyze it you can see the similarities. It was weird in high school, which is common. It's been corrected since then.
  9. I found it interesting that he said that. Obviously in the context of HS because he's not known for a cannon where he can just throw bullets with the flick of the wrist. But his arm is at least as strong as Deshaun Watson's.
  10. Nothing wrong with what he said.
  11. A little more background on Peterman. Interesting video from a high school football scout who rated Peterman a four-star from the class of 2012. Peterman later signed with the Tennessee Volunteers. "He had a cannon of an arm. This was a kid who wasn't overly-tall. 6-2. Not short, but certainly not a 6-foot-5 guy. Could move the pocket, extend the play. Had very good feel for the game itself, downfield vision, and a cannon of an arm. Intermediate throws, short throws, long throws - the ball was just a rocket. And that was part of the problem. Didn't have a ton of touch on his throws coming out of high school. We had him as a 4-star guy, a Top 10 pro-style quarterback. We liked a lot about him because we could see the gunslinger mentality, the cockiness, the feeling that he could fit the football wherever he needed to. And most often, he did that. He was successful. But a lot of teams were also scared away a bit by that mentality. Because he did make some mistakes. He did turn the ball over here and there. Especially in some key situations where he just relied on his arm too much."
  12. Shocking that a guy who raped an unconscious college girl and got away with it en route to winning a Heisman Trophy and being the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft would grope a woman uninvited.
  13. I wouldn't be surprised to see Marcus Murphy get promoted from the practice squad for the game. Otherwise, these free agents have worked with Dennison before: Jonathan Grimes, 5-10, 210 (Age 27) Ronnie Hillman, 5-9, 200 (Age 26) Practice Squaders (rookies in bold): 49ers - Jeremy McNichols, 5-9, 215 (rookie - Boise State, 5th round pick) Bengals - Jarveon Williams, 5-8, 200 (rookie - UTEP, unrated) Browns - Josh Rounds, 5-11, 205 (rookie - Tulane, unrated) Chiefs - George Atkinson, 6-1, 220 (Age 24) Cowboys - Trey Williams, 5-8, 195 (Age 24) Dolphins - De’Veon Smith, 5-11, 225 (rookie - Michigan, #311) Jaguars - Brandon Wilds, 6-2, 220 (Age 24) Jets - Akeem Judd, 5-11, 225 (rookie - Ole Miss, #768) Panthers - Jalen Simmons, 5-8, 210 (Age 25) Raiders - Elijah Hood, 6-0, 230 (rookie - North Carolina, 7th round pick) Ravens - John Crockett, 6-0, 215 (Age 25) Redskins - LeShun Daniels, 5-11, 220 (rookie - Iowa, #517) Steelers - Fitzgerald Toussaint, 5-10, 200 (Age 27) Titans - Khalfani Muhammad, 5-7, 170 (rookie - California, 7th round pick) Other Free Agents: Denard Robinson, 5-11, 200 (Age 27) Antonio Andrews, 5-10, 225 (Age 25) Bobby Rainey, 5-8, 205 (Age 30) Daryl Richardson, 5-10, 192 (Age 27) Stepfan Taylor, 5-9, 215 (Age 26) Dujuan Harris, 5-9, 200 (Age 29) James Starks, 6-1, 200 (Age 31) Justin Forsett, 5-8, 190 (Age 32) Antone Smith, 5-9, 190 (Age 32) George Winn, 5-11, 220 (Age 27) Joe Banyard Reggie Bush (stop laughing)
  14. I'm loving Beane and McDermott to this point. However, I can't for the life of me understand what they're doing at running back. It's a dime-a-dozen position. There are many athletic running backs out there on the street working out who could step in, find some holes and break some tackles. I just don't get it. I know Deangelo Williams is really long in the tooth but he couldn't give us anything?
  15. How do you embed Youtube videos on this new site? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM0zINtulhM
  16. Dennison has been a disappointment. He hasn't been nearly good enough. But that doesn't mean the QB is good enough. If the offense doesn't improve under Peterman then I would be surprised if Dennison isn't fired after the season.
  17. Sounds like Carucci read my post from earlier today... https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/198520-theory-starting-peterman-more-about-the-defense-than-anything/?page=3&tab=comments#comment-4676294 "Then, how do you get rid of the guy who was QB for the team that finally broke the drought?"
  18. What was your bright idea at the time? Promote the lawn chair thrower to OC?
  19. Dennison didn't force TT to stay in the pocket. Opposing defenses did. At the end of the day, this is football. And a quarterback has to have the ability to anticipate and throw receivers open. Taylor is incompetent in that regard. How many offensive systems are out there that is able to hide that glaring flaw that would work in the NFL? Roman's system was great, but would it have continued to work as well as it did in 2015 and 2016 (peaking at #9)? Not likely at all.
  20. http://thesportsdaily.com/buffalo-wins/one-fanns-opinion-by-rich_fann-lets-talk/ Good to see so many people are using this move to get on their "It's racist!" soapbox.
  21. And...then what? Sure, it would be nice to crush the drought. But they'd have little-to-no chance to advancing past the first weekend. They would be similar to the 2016 Dolphins. Then, how do you get rid of the guy who was QB for the team that finally broke the drought? If they know that Tyrod is not their franchise QB (which they did after his historically bad performance on Sunday), then it's best to just be done with him. "Like a band-aid...right off!"
