Bad Things Man Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 This if from back in Preseason but found interesting to re-read: http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/08/what_jon_gruden_had_to_say_about_buffalo_bills_qb_nathan_peterman.html The last paragraph pretty much sums it up, not saying this is Peterman, but positive it's not TT: "I think it's pretty easy to see the teams that sustain winning, they have one," Gruden said. "They have a guy that can make the throws. The guy that can dominate at the line of scrimmage. The guy who doesn't waste plays. These guys are coaches on the field. They have football aptitude. They have the great arm quickness, they have arm strength. They just have a way of making the other players better. They make the defense better because the defense they fight harder knowing if we just get this guy the ball back, we have a chance. The offensive line plays better because they don't want this man hit. The meetings are better, the practices are better, life is better when you have a blue chipper playing quarterback in the NFL. You even have a chance to sell some luxury boxes and jerseys too. Man I'm envious of some of these guys that have been able to coach a quarterback like (Ben) Roethlisberger for that many years or Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees. That's an envious position for those guys."
TheElectricCompany Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Gruden once called Tim Tebow "250 lbs of concrete cyanide". Find me a player that he hasn't excessively hyped up.

White Linen Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 It's not what he said about Peterman that was most interesting - it was what he said about how a "blue chip" QB makes everything better.

Exactly. That paragraph that was quoted wasn't about any QB on our roster, or any specific QB at all.
row_33 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Gruden sez: "this guy, this guy right there is one of the ALL TIME GREATEST EVER!!!!!" (for 22 players during every broadcast. Gruden would have called Tyrod's pathetic checkdowns "the catch of the century!!!!" as well

Just watch his QB show on ESPN where he talks chalk with draft prospects. What he did as HC is another matter.

jimmy10 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 So Gruden says good QBs make your whole team better and your fans happier. That's some earth-shattering stuff.

Jauronimo Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Gruden has been very outspoken about Peterman. Here's another such article from the Boston Globe. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/patriots/the_blitz/2016/12/jon_gruden_tom_brady_is_the_best_quarterback_i_think_thats_ever Quote "the best quarterback, I think, that's ever played." He doesn't exactly mention Peterman by name but I think we can definitely rule out the possibility that he means Tyrod. You do the math. Edited November 14, 2017 by Jauronimo 1
BuffaloBill Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Gruden compares him to Andy Dalton.... not exactly the guy I would chase after if I wanted a QB to build a team around. Too many around here are hoping for lightening in a bottle and while Peterman might be, it’s highly unlikely.

You do the math. What are you smoking, that article is all about Brady..not Peterman. Unless there is a hidden innuendo in that somewhere that I was oblivious to.

You do the math. He does say that Brady is the best QB that's ever played which does rule out TT being better, and also, since at the time he hadn't played yet, must mean that Peterman is better then Brady, or why else would you say the best to have played?
