Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 As evidenced by 52% and 50% respectively the first 2 games.not every incompletion is the QBs fault.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) I realize Peterman was playing with 2nd teamers, but the guy doesn't seem the least bit intimidated and by just watching him it would be hard to tell we are looking at a rookie in my humble opinion. ...who gives a rat's azz which level he faced?...second string, third string or G string.......you can gauge the kid's ability to process the field FIRST AND FOREMOST.......if the 2nd, 3rd or G string does not respond, it is a statistical matter only....defensive coverage at this early stage is immaterial.....I'm more interested in his scan and reactionary prowess versus defensive coverage now..........

Great pocket awareness almost like eyes in the back of his head. I really like what I'm seeing AFL

Got blasted yesterday for saying pretty much the same thing. Glad to see I'm not as ignorant as I began to think I was. It's like the kid sees the whole field pre snap and processes in the time it takes to get the play off. You don't coach that up.
K D Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 let's get the chant going...PETER-MAN PETER-MAN PETER-MAN
Straight Hucklebuck Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 With this logic, we should bring back EJ. After all, he was drafted in the first... You got fans calling up radio stations to trade or bench Tyrod and give Peterman a chance to start under the premise hey you never know.... This town is so desperate for one of their underdog stories to work out. You had fans who couldn't give up on Trent, the fans that agreed with Nix that Fitzpatrick was a franchise QB, fans who think that EJ never got a fair shake, fans who still think Baltimore's old backup is suddenly going to get good in his 3rd year of starting and now Peterman deserves his shot. A real plan would have been Mahomes or Watson at #10. Not these long shot, backup, 5th, 6th and 7th Rounders the Bills trot out there for years at a time.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I dig these threads. root for the underdog.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Just watching the replay of last nights game...man Tyrod looks terrible. I don't see where someone is going to definitively say, Tyrod gives us the best chance to win. I'm not saying it's not true, but it's not a sure thing. Maybe this system is a bad match for his game
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I dig these threads. root for the underdog. . Root for Tyrod ✅ 😁 At this point humor is the best medicine.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I dig these threads. root for the underdog. Both Peterman and Tyrod are underdogs.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Both Peterman and Tyrod are underdogs. that's a fact jack! Edited August 18, 2017 by DaBillsFanSince1973

I don't see where someone is going to definitively say, Tyrod gives us the best chance to win. I'm not saying it's not true, but it's not a sure thing. Maybe this system is a bad match for his game This is a good point...Sal C keeps arguing on WGR that Tyrod gives us the best chance to win, but I'm not so sure. If the offense fits everything that Peterman is good at and nothing that Tyrod is good at, does Taylor really give the Bills the best chance to win? Sure, Tyrod is the most experienced QB between the two, but he can't read defenses, can't anticipate receivers, can't throw the seam route, can't throw from the pocket, etc, etc...all these things are REQUIRED by this offense...and this might be why the rookie looks like the vet and vice versa imo. And just think, this is just the tip of the iceberg for Peterman...just wait til he really gets a handle on the offense and all the looks on D...it's weird to say, but we really haven't had a QB this polished in a long time and he is just starting his career.

BuffaloRebound Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 Have no idea if Peterman is gonna be good, but I saw throws from him that Taylor can't or won't make. Pleasantly surprised by Peterman's arm strength. If you told me Peterman was a 2nd round pick instead of a 5th rounder I wouldn't question it after watching game last night.

I think Peterman will prove to be great value for where we picked him up, but if you think he'd outperform Tyrod right now you are sorely mistaken. He was 1 of 6 for 7 yards under pressure last night against 2nd and 3rd stringers. If he played with the ones against Philly's starters playing like they were he would have done nothing. Give him time and let him develop.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 It's funny that people keep using the round Peterman was drafted in as a knock, yet he was drafted in an early round then Tyrod...
dezertbill Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 If Tyrod tanks next game and peterman shines he will be given a series with the first team final game. Otherwise it will take a sub 500 start after 4 games with Tyrod playing sub par before you see Tyrod getting benched.

Otherwise it will take a sub 500 start after 4 games with Tyrod playing sub par before you see Tyrod getting benched. It'll be scrub city in the final preseason game and Tyrod is taking every snap with the starters in the next preseason game at BAL.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 It's funny that people keep using the round Peterman was drafted in as a knock, yet he was drafted in an early round then Tyrod... Tyrod has 29 games of NFL tape to judge his ability on. Nate, at this point, is still a projection at the NFL level. That's not a knock on him, he'll get his shot eventually. Once a player has established themselves with live NFL playing time that becomes more relevant than their draft position. Nobody says Christian Ponder is better than Tom Brady because of their draft position, and nobody should say Peterman is going to be Brady/Cousins/whoever until he actually does something.
