QCity Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 http://youtu.be/aKduBp70kJg Fans go crazy for throws like the first one shown here because the team hasn't had anything that resembles a decent passer under center in over a decade. At this stage anything remotely competent is heralded as the second coming of Kelly.
swnybillsfan Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Fans go crazy for throws like the first one shown here because the team hasn't had anything that resembles a decent passer under center in over a decade. At this stage anything remotely competent is heralded as the second coming of Kelly. i think there is certainly a lot of that. i also think there is a large contingent of fans who came to see tyrod's limitations as a qb last year and are clamoring for a more traditional qb that operates, and feels comfortable, from the pocket. peterman does not necessarily strike many as the next big thing. but i think he does start the conversation of "could he be a competent qb that could run this offense more effectively than tyrod?"
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Even a competent backup is an improvement.
WideRightRevenge Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 ...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.......... Amen .... last week it was all about facing the 3's ... now not good enough vs. the two's ... I like the progression of what I'm seeing ... yes he needs to work on accuracy when under pressure but I'm not regretting spending our second pick of the 5th round at this stage on Nate
Big Gun Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) At a minimum, Peterman looks like a guy who is going to stick in the league for awhile. Reads the defense and throws a nice ball. How did he fall all the way to the 5th round? The knock on him was lack of arm strength, which looks fine. I think the draft pundits way undervalued his ability process the game in action. This guy should have been a 2 or 3 rd pick, I think the Bills may have found the steal of the 2017 draft. He will supplant Tyrod as starter sooner than later, you watch.

We actually agree on something. I thought he was going to be the gem of this draft. he may be better than TT,, but basing it on a preseason game is way too soon for this thinking.

OK so, if he continues to progress, when is the timing right? Game one, the bye, next year, wait on taylor to get injured; this ain't going to be pretty no matter when it happens.

NP is going to or already is better than TT, when does the switch happen is the question.
Scott7975 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 NP is going to or already is better than TT, when does the switch happen is the question. If what you say is true then the coach would have already made the switch. He has no reason not to. What you got is some preseason delusion. Peterman looked solid, but to think he is already better than Tyrod over a few good passes during preseason against weaker defenses is pretty silly.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 2018 QB. It's inevitable and the right thing to do.
Scott7975 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 How's life inside that bubble? And what bubble would that be? Can you give me any good reason the coach would not put the best QB on the field? Maybe perhaps inside your bubble you are smarter than the coach.
Figster Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 It's inevitable and the right thing to do. Its sure starting to look that way
billsfan1959 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 http://youtu.be/aKduBp70kJg Peterman had a few really good throws in this package. In particular the pass OTM to O'Leary and the sideline back shoulder completion to Zay. The last throw to Streater wasn't among them IMO. Should have been a pick. Agree. Also, the throw he made to Jones, in the corner of the endzone, at the end of the first half was another good throw. It was an incompletion; however, IMHO, it was placed exactly where it should have been and Jones should have gotten both feet down for a touchdown.

Maybe perhaps inside your bubble you are smarter than the coach. So his confidence doesn't get ruined. The whole team is learning new systems under new coaching. Peterman has a much better chance to succeed when the team itself is hitting on all cylinders IMO.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 2018 QB. ...the table has been set.......2017 is TT's "make it or break it" year........regardless, you draft one, continue to groom Peterman and you now have some flexibility regarding TT in 2018......this may be a tell tale sign as to what may happen... Tyrod Taylor 2018 Roster Bonus: $6M (due the 3rd league day of 2018, $1M fully guaranteed at signing)

This is a good point, Fig, that I think a lot of people forget about...we are in the midst of rebuilding several different position groups on this team.

Peterman has a much better chance to succeed when the team itself is hitting on all cylinders IMO. I don't buy into confidence getting ruined. He either mentally has it or he doesn't. He looks pretty darn calm out there so I doubt throwing ints or looking bad is going to ruin him. The poster said he is better than Tyrod already or will be. I don't contest that he may be someday. To think he is already better is ludicrous. He may be better at some things or even certain throws. That doesn't make him a better QB overall. My actual point is that if the coach felt he was a better QB than Tyrod he would put him in. There is no reason not to.
