Peterman has had little to no time to build any kind of chemistry with any of our first team receiving options. That's a huge factor imo. Yeah, forgot to mention how he has barely had a chance to throw to Jordan Mathews and Deonte Thompson as well. You've got to be impressed with how he handled himself out there, garbage time or not. Bills coaches need to put their best guys out there, and you cant make exemptions for the QB.
Woodman19 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Anyone have time to compare WR targeted compared to Tyrod? (At work :/)

Pass to Matthews at the 13 is money.

TT clearly managed to not hit KB for a TD on the first drive and a first down on the very next pass. You can’t take that away from him. ??? Gosh man, I'm more upset about that now than when it happened. If I knew those would be his only targets the whole game....stroke / heart attack / aneurism all at once! Just now, Buffalo Boy said: Pass to Matthews at the 13 is money. I'm telling you man, he was surprised. He double caught it because he couldn't believe the pass got to him on time. LOL

You know...what they teach you when you are in pop warner! Don't give me that crap that it was garbage time. The entire second half was garbage time and Tyrod couldnt complete a pass past the line of scrimmage. He is a gimmick. Not a real QB. Peterman doesn't have the best arm but at least he runs the play as called. I don’t personally buy the garbage time excuse either. As others have said our regular offense didn’t look good in garbage time. The Saints backups didn’t intentionally lay over and die, they are fighting for future jobs too so they take every play seriously. They weren’t leaving receivers wide open, Peterman was simply finding the windows and throwing into them. He’s been doing this consistently since the last month of training camp. Does this prove Peterman could pick apart the Seahawks secondary in its prime, no, but it does prove he belongs on the field and deserves a chance to start at some point. Only way to find out what he can really do is to start him. Edited November 13, 2017 by HappyDays 4

Versus step step step set the feet, wait wait wait pass or scramble.

apuszczalowski Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 TT looked pretty good last week in the last half of the Jets game too, but that was just garbage time and doesn't count, right? Getting excited cause a late round backup came in and had a successful drive in garbage time in a blowout game? This must be a first.........

Heavy Kevi Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 So I wasn't really watching the 4th quarter yesterday I must admit. So thanks for posting. It's time to make the switch, and see what this guy really has. Quick release, a real dropback and plant, and he actually does what the play calls for. I'm not ready to go on saying he's def going to be good, but we have a known quantity in Taylor, and Peterman has shown promise. Not only that, but he is a fit for the WCO we are trying to implement.
Believer Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) The Saints pass rush was not pressuring Peterman... He had plenty of time to throw, unlike TT... Edited November 13, 2017 by Believer

Only way to find out what he can really do is to start him. All it proves is that Bills fans are desperate for anything, and get excited over something that proves nothing. It means he is just like almost every other backup QB that has come in and thrown a few good passes to get a garbage time TD. How did his second drive go?
HumbleAndHungry Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Just don't know why so many coaches are so reactive especially with quarterbacks. Why is it such a bad thing to be proactive and make a qb switch with a winning record if you truly believe that you can get more out of that position with a different guy. We have played nine games now. Sure Taylor has had a couple decent games but don't forget the Cincinnati game the Carolina game the Saints game. For every game Tyrods decent he has another game where he's the reason we lose were he can't manufacture any points Edited November 13, 2017 by Finkle Is Einhorn
Roundybout Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Easily better than Tyrod, just from a mechanics standpoint. Peterman is going to be a fine QB in the future. Make the switch, coach!
Buffalo03 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Look how quickly he runs the no huddle as well. Every time Tyrod is in this situation he takes 30 seconds to get up to the line and run the next play Edited November 13, 2017 by Buffalo03

The point is Tyrod is finished as a starting QB in this league. This team is probably 7-2 with Keenum or McCown as the QB - so what fans want to know is, can Peterman be at least that until we find a QB.
TigerJ Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 10 minutes ago, BILLriant said: He reminds me of the quarterback that just picked us apart Looking back at the start of Drew Brees' career, he did not come in and set the league on fire right away. He had similar credentials to Peterman. His college was not a big time producer of NFL QBs (Illinois - I think). He's undersized and was not regarded as having a canon for an arm. What he was was a smart QB who could see the field, make quick reads and make quick throws with good accuracy, not unlike Peterman. I think he was drafted by the Chargers, but never got a chance to start with them. He was traded to the Saints, where he was given a chance to start and made the most of it. His career path debunks the notion I saw from one poster that if a QB has a starter's ability the coach of the team that drafts him is going to recognize it and start him sooner rather than later. Coaches don't like the uncertainty involved with making a change at QB and will often hold on to an ineffective starter because he is at least a known quantity.
buffaloboyinATL Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 2 minutes ago, Believer said: The Saints pass rush was not pressuring Peterman... He had plenty of time to throw, unlike TT... I have to disagree. There were times when TT had a clean pocket and plenty of time and he missed the window of opportunity on an open receiver and had to check down or throw it away. There was a particular play I remember where he had Benjamin coming open on a cross route 10-15 yards down field, but he held it too long and then forced a check down throw to Shady for little to no gain. I'm not saying Peterman would do any better, but there were times that TT did did not take advantage of time in the pocket.
Da webster guy Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 They won't switch qb's on the road against Chargers or KC but I see Peterman at the helm for the Colts game at home. Can't go into the offseason without seeing the kid prepare to start all week and then getting a shot on Sunday. If he looks legit it would drastically change our draft strategy-- for the better.
clayboy54 Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Like others, I wish everyone would stop with the "garbage time" comments. Watch the video, look at his fundamentals. This was his first ever regular season NFL action. The kid looks the part. Is he ready to pick apart top-10 defenses? No way. Does he deserve to start? Not yet. But NP clearly looks like he has a sound foundation for future consideration. Let him sit and learn as he currently is. Put him in when a game calls for it, to get him a little more game experience. Yes, in "garbage times." Next year he'll have fair chance to compete.
