There are tons and to s of guys that play well in preseason, etc and never see the field or even make the team. The coaches have blinders on when it comes to Peterman for some reason. I think its an ego thing. This is telling right here. Very defensive and odd when to answer the question - take it to my grave? Huh. McDermott said, when asked if he regretted starting Peterman against the Ravens. "I felt like that was the right move and I'll take that to my grave."

And this was a playoff team last year. You should not see this kind of drop off. Problem is when coaches/gm's think they are smarter than everyone else.

Yes - his stats place him at the bottom of the list over the past 30 years.

I felt the same way about EJ as Peterman. He was not good enough. I do agree that EJ would be an upgrade. It is that sad. I would have been pissed if they signed Fitz and he was starting over Allen. But at least he is capable. Instead we are going with a guy that just has no business being on the field.

As someone else said - You always want to strive to be the best at something. He is the best at being awful in record breaking fashion.

Allen is a top 10 pick. People have accepted he has work to do. He has a very long leash with the fans. Peterman on the other is a 5th round pick. He has shows what he can do and it should be clear he is not an NFL starter. It is insane to have him starting.

Lets just give him 17 years of sucking then. He can start Peterman for 17 years too.

5 losses by more than 20 points in 17 regular season games. Rex Ryan had zero in his two seasons. Doug Marrone had one in his two seasons.

But he has made some good decisions. Still need to look at the tape. Great Baltimore D. Yada yada yada.

Yet as the stats show he is having multiple historically terrible performances. Worst in 30 years and 338 QB's that have started.

Yep and that will be his downfall.

My house burned down and I had no insurance. But I never planned on my house burning down.

Playing Peterman was virtually unprecedented. Since 1971, only one QB with less starting experience had started the opener over a rookie who had been drafted in the top 10. That was Doug Pederson, who started ahead of Donovan McNabb. But at least Pederson had five years and 21 games of NFL experience under his belt.

From Jerrry Playing Peterman was virtually unprecedented. Since 1971, only one QB with less starting experience had started the opener over a rookie who had been drafted in the top 10. That was Doug Pederson, who started ahead of Donovan McNabb. But at least Pederson had five years and 21 games of NFL experience under his belt. They have to start Allen now. I don’t know what McDermott will do. He drafted Peterman in the fifth round and took a lot of heat in the national media for starting him over Tyrod Taylor with his team at 5-4 last season. He wanted to stick with Peterman and probably would have if Peterman hadn’t laid such a colossal egg at the Chargers. McDermott thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. I suspect he wanted to show the world he was right about Peterman. When Peterman put up good numbers in the preseason competition, he had his justification for starting him over Allen. This was the result. He’s just stubborn enough to stick with Peterman. It would be a bad decision.

EJ 16 ints in 590 attempts Tuel 3 ints in 59 attempts NP 7 ints in 67 attempts

Yes- it was posted somewhere else. Worst stat lines out of 227 QB starters since 2001.

By far and it should not be hard to see. I am troubled how this coaching staff does not see it. He should not have made the roster. I dont care how he looked good completing easy passes in preseason. Look at preseason stats over the years and you see tons of guys that never make a team have good games.

McD wants to make his decision last year stick. His first bold move of his career and he was a laughing stock. He may just well go down trying to prove he was right.

From last year: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/11/nfl-bills-nathan-peterman-stats-tyrod-taylor-chargers-interceptions And now this year: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2018/09/09/buffalo-bills-make-ravens-history-bad-way/1249963002/

So he is the worst QB since 2001 to start more than one game. That is on him for being bad and on the coaches for putting him out there. All three of these guys had only one start and were also out of the league in 1-2 years.

Also: 37-7 in only half first game 40-0 in early 3rd of this game

He also already owns two records in only 3 starts: Start 1 - most int's in a half. Start 3 - Bills worst season opening loss.

Has any QB had a worse start to their career? He has three starts and all under 100 yds passing. Basically all under 50% passing. 7 picks in 42 passes. Has there ever been a worse three starts? 6-14, , 66 yds, 0, td, 5 int 5-10, 57 yds, 1 td, 0 int 5-18, 24 yds, 0 td, 2 int

Agreed. Peterman should not even be in the league let alone a starting QB. It is ego - McD wants to prove that he is right for having faith in NP. I know some may disagree because McD is professional etc. But this happens all the time in pro sports. We saw it with Marrone, Whaley, Ryan, and on and on. Sometimes your ego can get the best of you.
