Doc Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Peterman certainly looks much better tonight. It's an encouraging showing for sure He looked fine last weekend as well. Too many drops. But made the correct reads.
Big Gun Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 So if he has no noticeable downside why do you think he was a day 3 pick? Is he a different player than 6 months ago, or do you have a better eye than everyone in the NFL? Could have been a whole ton of college related factors hampering him transferring to Pitt for his last 2 years. With better coaches and players he very much could be a more mature, different and much better player than 6 months ago.
HappyDays Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 You have this figured out with Kizer and Mahomes with no future while Peterman does. NFL teams, HappyDays are here again! Tell me the last strong big arm QB who had poor mechanics in college that made it. It does not happen. But hey I don't mind throwing my opinion out there. If I'm wrong I'm sure you'll be there to tell me.
Scott7975 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I think Beane was very involved in our draft. I think the verbal agreement was in place before the draft and just waited a little bit after to make it official. I doubt that. He was employed by another team. That would be collusion.

mjd1001 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 There is one thing about Peterman in the preseason games that reminds me SO MUCH of Trent Edwards. Where are the throws downfield? I don't mean 40 yard fly patterns, but how about crossing patterns or slants where the ball travels 15-20 yards past the line of Scrimmage? It is like watching Trent Edwards all over.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Maybe the under pressure numbers are a little less scary, because unlike Taylor he actually gets rid of the ball quick?
Doc Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I don't disagree with you on him, he has to develop and KC will give him time to do just that. And they should/will because Alex Smith is clearly the better QB. There is one thing about Peterman in the preseason games that reminds me SO MUCH of Trent Edwards. Where are the throws downfield?

Behind this OL, I also wouldn't wait for a long pass to open up.
Cruiserplayer Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Maybe the under pressure numbers are a little less scary, because unlike Taylor he actually gets rid of the ball quick?This I agree with. I can't tell you how many times my twelve year old has screamed at the tv the last two years "THROW THE BALL!" Who starts? I want to go with TT and let Peterman sit and learn. However if his pre snap reads are this good I could see Nate as the starter.

OK .. new rule ... no QB's allowed to be drafted after round 3 ... they must suck ... see Brady, Dak, Cousins
JM2009 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Maybe the under pressure numbers are a little less scary, because unlike Taylor he actually gets rid of the ball quick? TT was one of the best QBs in 2016 under pressure.
Augie Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 TT was one of the best QBs in 2016 under pressure. He has a FREAKISH ability to escape. How many times are you sure he's nailed, but then..... What he does next?

Nate is anything but hesitant with what he does with the ball. He has passed every test he's been faced with. The next test is real game play and what are you going to do when he passes that test too? Are you going to start a new negative thread every time he throws an incomplete pass? Give it a rest, nobody's anointing him savior. Taylor will start when he's healthy, but in all likelihood will either get injured again or show he can't run this offense efficiently.

NoSaint Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 OK .. new rule ... no QB's allowed to be drafted after round 3 ... they must suck ... see Brady, Dak, Cousins How about no evaluations of day 3 qbs in their first preseason that include essentially saying they are without flaw and make the right reads, are highly accurate, strong armed and athletic leaders? I didn't say he COULDNT succeed. I said he was a day 3 pick because 32 gms agreed he was a prospect with shortcomings - which stands to reason either he's changed as a player or all 32 whiffed incredibly bad. He could succeed - but is likely a project and certainly a long shot.
billsfan60 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 You tell someone else to give it up and then post the bolded nonsense. Yeah, should have left the last bit out, just got riled a little at the Trent comparison. Peterman is not without faults, but being indecisive isn't one of them.

Marv's Neighbor Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Ok, he did well and that's good BUT it's not the regular season, and first line players. I do hope he can continue when we really need him.
Virgil Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I admit that tonight was impressive. His release was as quick as I've seen from a QB, with some zip on the ball. HOWEVER, he was also only being asked to make one read. This is also the 4th preseason game, which we all know what teams show. I think he showed enough to give him a chance when this season gets out of hand. And by that I mean, if TT isn't showing why he is ABSOLUTELY the QB of our future and we are below .500 halfway through the season, I give Peterman. As for the comment about comparing him to Trent Edwards? Again, I don't know how you can compare them after such as short amount of time. Yes, he hasn't gone deep, but neither has Tyrod.
Big Turk Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I'm not sure exactly what we have in Peterman but I know he has the floor of being one of the better backups in the NFL for a long time and that he likely has a long career ahead of him, if only in that role. I see a lot of Chad Pennington in him before he got his shoulder injury. If he could be Chad Pennington for us I think we could win a lot of games.
