    3.4 ypc... He was not a Pro Bowler last year either, that's irrelevant.

     

    You know who else has been to a Pro Bowl? Tyrod. 

     

    Yeah but, I'm laughing at the comparison of a veteran presence vs. a guy off the street for a backup role, and you're comparing him to Tyrod Taylor for some reason?  I'm seriously not following.

     

    I'm not banging the drum for Chris Ivory to have some resurgent season and be a household name or anything, I just think he's an upgrade.  And I'm fine with the contract considering he's been a consummate professional.  We can compare his pay to somebody like Blount, who has clearly worked out, but he's also somebody that punched people in the face while playing college ball so his his pay / professional career has always kind of come at a discount it seems.  I think it's a great signing all things considered.

    ...in his defense, I think he was a character type guy that McD wanted for the locker room presence and vet influence.....was never thought to be a major producer IMO and just my hunch about McD's thinking...

     

    I agree with this, which is why I love the signing of a character guy who can actually run better than Mike Tolbert.

     

    Chris Ivory is clean as a whistle by the way.  Just a hard working professional that can contribute.  Trust the process.

    2.75 for a caliber of player that you probably could have drafted in the mid to late rounds or gotten off the street for cheaper isn't a good use of 10% of your remaining cap space. 

     

    Respected 8-year vet that's spent a ton of time in the division and has been to the Pro Bowl

     

    vs.

     

    "guy off the street"

     

    Please tell me more about how these two are the same.

    Glad it's funny to them. They get the millions while the Bills wasted a 2nd and 3rd on a WR that can't catch. I'm sure McDermott isn't laughing at all his dropped balls 

     

    Man, if you aren't trolling and are seriously this miserable of a human being then you need to seek some help.  The constant negativity and unhinged ranting about topics ranging from the front office being racist to other weird conspiracy theories does not combine to paint a pretty mental health picture.  I hope it's just a bad troll job at this point in all honesty.

    How about we keep Tyrod and improve our team with these picks and make the playoffs a better team. So.. thanks for the info on why quarterbacks are overvalued.. Alex Smith sucks.

     

    Alex Smith has 30,000 passing yards in the NFL, and has been to the playoffs five times.  He's 34.

     

    Sorry man, but I don't know how anybody can objectively watch his play and just say "he sucks".

     

    Edit - Actually he's 33.  Anyway, Alex Smith has been legit for like 5 years now, I have no idea why people are still struggling with the fact that he's a good QB.

    The Bills have already given Wood more than enough money.  The same Wood that yelled at Maybin about giving money back.

     

    The Bills have no problem paying the 4.5 million in base.  The problem is that the signing bonus was based on him actually being able to play.  Guess what, he isn't playing.  They have every right to go after it.  Let's not sit here and act like Wood is struggling.

     

     

    This is seriously like the 11th time you've started one of your anti-Eric Wood arguments with "let's not sit here..."

     

    let's not sit here and pretend that your anti-Eric Wood / "this regime is racist!" nonsense isn't borderline insane.

    No backpeddling, I said 'at worse' because I believe that is the floor with NP....a very good NFL backup.

     

    His ceiling is Drew Brees since he's pretty much the same exact player coming out of college that he was years ago.

     

     

    You initially claimed that the Bills were "all in" on him being a starter.

     

    Now you're making a case for him being a competent NFL backup.

     

    That's backpedaling.

    Exactly.

     

    Training for the hardest job in sports. If the coaching staff loves him, and they see him everyday, I'm interesting in seeing more. 

     

    Your thought process is nasty. And says a lot about how you view yourself when you have a bad day. I hope Peterman has more self-esteem. 

     

     

    Hahaha oh c'mon now.

     

    My thought process is only to counter the fact that the OP (a known troll) has already anointed him the future starter so I'm clearly exaggerating to an extent.  You agree that he's our future starter at this point?  In that case then I'll paint you with a broad generalization as well and say that you don't know a damn thing about football.

     

    Frankly though, it's the NFL, and if you don't have your stuff together after a season, or even a month, then you're not guaranteed anything.  This is not a mid-career desk job so your example is horrible.

    Very good decisiveness. Quick release. Glaringly obvious when compared to Tyrod. Look at him like a scout, not like a fan. Undersized and potentially weak arm, sure. But there is some potential upstairs. SD game was terrible, everyone agrees, but imagine everybody gave up on you on your first day at the job.  

     

    It's more like everybody giving up on you after five months of intensive training after watching you **** your pants during your first presentation.  90 day reviews exist for a reason.

    You know the thing is I really want to like Peterman......he has accuracy...he has wheels....

     

    He needs time......I dont for a second think the bills are hitching their wagon to just Peterman

     

    Does he really have wheels though?  His 40 time was slower than Watson, Trubisky, Davis Webb, Mahomes, Watson, other dudes who don't matter, etc., and he never really proved this in a game. 

     

    Wonder where this is coming from as he certainly doesn't have "speed" in a Mariota / Tyrod sense.  Are we just assuming that he can rumble if given the chance a la Blake Bortles?  Genuinely curious.

    I think everyone on the board overreacts to these kinds of threads, everyone wants to tear everyone down for just saying per an inside source. I take any "insider" thread with a grain of salt but I always enjoy reading them. Unfortunately they are always filled with pages of pages of "you are an idiot"  "you are a troll" blah blah, I just find it all a waste of time.

     

    For your first point, I am not willing to move on from Peterman and just cut him because of his one bad game, but if the Bills are in position to get one of the top guys I am all for it but honestly I don't see it happening.

     

    So I think the realistic outcome will be a bridge QB like Bradford or Smith, or we draft a guy in the late 1st/early 2nd and if that is the case then Peterman has a real shot to be the starter this year....like it or not.

     

    Bring 3 qbs in the competition next spring, I just don't see the Bills giving away 3 1st rounders + more to get in top 5.

     

     

    People overreact because SaviorEdwards has been doing this since 2006...

     

    I think this thread is just as much a response to his nonsense as it is an actual discussion over Peterman's future.

     

    If Peterman was gone tomorrow and the Bills drafted another QB project in the 6th round next year, Savor would have a new obsession.

    Wow. After reading this thread my biggest takeaway is I am surprised on how many bills fans have completely given up on Peterman after one really bad outing. I don't make a decision on a guy until at least a half dozen games 

     

    So you're not equally or more surprised by those anointing him the 2018 starter?  He also ended our playoff game with an interception, by the way.  I think those who are bit negative about his future at this point have more justification than a troll who has had a known affinity for below average Bills QB's for over a decade...
