This is something I've questioned since pre season. Imo, Tyrod was never gonna be here past 2017. So in theory I could see the bills drafting Peterman as a backup because Manuel was gone.
But here is where I get confused. If Peterman was drafted as a backup, why start him now? I can't imagine the bills drafted a 5th rounder thinking he's our future. My guess is the plan is to draft a qb in 18. But again, why would you start Peterman if you're going to just draft a qb in 2018? Has Peterman shown something that made them think he could potentially be a long term starter? And if by some miracle he does show promise this season, then do they not draft a qb in the high rounds next year? Are the bills gonna fall into the same trap they always have?
