LEBills Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I love the pick, worst case scenario , he's a career backup and obviously best case he's a franchise QB, not sure he has the arm strength to be the #1 but that's the same thing they said about Montana, Brady etc. so we'll see but they are finally at least attempting to upgrade the most important position. Technically worst case scenario is that he is cut, or slips on a mat.
jeffismagic Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Peterman wasn't drafted in the first few rounds Peterman will be in the NFL. If you are looking for a backup QB then the pick is fine.
Augie Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Gruden is the conductor of the Peterman hype train http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/Pitt/2017/04/19/jon-gruden-nathan-peterman-nfl-draft-qbs-pitt-panthers-kansas-city-chiefs-new-orleans-saints/stories/201704190158?pgpageversion=pgevoke&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#link_time=1492628532 WOW! I'd like to think it was the steal of the decade, but I have to admit it's more likely that Gruden is goofy.
Saxum Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Whaley is absolute garbage, he wouldn't know a good QB if it hit him in the face. Peterman will be lucky to be even a ok backup and we also have bum cardale, good job moron. Yea he should have traded his starting DE for John Skelton, correct QB expert?
turftoe Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Cousins MPH was measured at 59 MPH. That is near the top. Peterman was 53 MPH which is below what the data guys like. Watson, the 12th pick, was like 45mph.
Magox Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Peterman will be in the NFL. If you are looking for a backup QB then the pick is fine. I don't know of many teams that expect their 5th round QB selections to be anything more than a backup with an extreme outside shot of becoming a starter.

Kelly the Dog Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Here is why I don't like the pick at all. Chances are better than 50-50 I think that Peterman beats out Cardale for the #3 because he will fit Dennison's system better. And Cardale will be cut. But we already have the career reliable backup in TJ Yates, who is probably better than Peterman will ever be. Cardale has a chance to be a starter if not a star if everything goes right. If everything goes right for Peterman he is a little below Cousins. That's best case scenario. If we didn't sign Yates then sure, the reliable cerebral accurate field general may be a necessary role. But we have a Peterman already.
ChevyVanMiller Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I think that the ability to anticipate where the wide receiver is going to be and deliver the ball there in stride is way underrated. Last time the Bills had a quarterback that could do that with great consistency - his name was Jim Kelly. I like this pick and I think this kid is going to one day be a starter not just a career back up.
Bangarang Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Cousins MPH was measured at 59 MPH. That is near the top. Peterman was 53 MPH which is below what the data guys like. Mahomes was 60mph. Does this mean Cousins has a cannon like him?
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 All the Bills need to do is find Brady's dealer.Roght on target
LEBills Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Watson, the 12th pick, was like 45mph. He was 49 mph, Tyrod was 50 due to a shoulder injury. Watson hasn't played a game in the NFL so we don't know if he will be the first QB throwing under 55 mph to find success.
KRT88 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Wow, I'm sure our problems are now solved! Yes he's low risk, yes he'll end up on the practice squad but I'm not get excited.
jeffismagic Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I don't know of many teams that expect their 5th round QB selections to be anything more than a backup with an extreme outside shot of becoming a starter. Yes, agreed. I personally would just get a backup veteran QB for a small contract and be drafting for upside here but it depends on your draft goals. Siemian was a case where backup QB looked good. If Peterman can be Siemian I'm happy.

Reed83HOF Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Greg Gabriel @greggabe Nate Peterman will become a starting QB in Buffalo. He's this years Kirk Cousins
BillsFan4 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Whether Peterman works out or not, if this is the type of stuff the Bills are going to value in a QB under McDermott/Dennison, then I am thrilled! Accuracy and anticipation, ability to read defenses and change plays at the line, ability to,go through all your progressions, find open receivers or throw them open... IMO those are some of the most important traits you look for in a potential franchise QB and if the Bills are going to put more importance on these traits going forward I like their chances of eventually finding their true, long term franchise QB. Much better than big, athletic, mobile, "all the tools" but can't hit water falling out of a boat type QBs... Edited April 29, 2017 by BillsFan4

But we have a Peterman already. Or maybe they just let it play out in OTAs & camp and the best man/men win? No excuses for Cardale. Work, earn it, or GTFO.

Speaking of Montana or Young for that matter, neither had cannons for arms and did quite well in WCO.
