Its a puff piece segment, he loves all the guys on the show. Agent's will NOT let any of their players go on that show if there is a possibility it could hurt their draft stock. He has to a rosy piece on every single player otherwise no one would do the show, thats the nature of TV. And he's had massive love affairs beyond normal of guys like Tebow and Manziel too. He made Cam Newton look real, real bad.

Name one or two. I never saw that.

I totally get that.. but saviorpeterman tried propping it up like he was some super steal that everyone thought would be amazing. he has some good qualities and I'm excited but coming out he was mostly thought of as a long term NFL backup not a boarder line 1st , 2nd rounder 1

And that is just asanine. Im not a huge TT guy but Peterman wasn't ready to start He looked good in preseason. So did EJ Manuel. he also floats a good amount of balls because of mechanics. couple that with average arm strength and that leads to a lot sailed throws. he was a fifth rounder for a reason. He has flaws... not to say he can't improve ... but his flaws will still probably be evident and that's why he was drafted late

A non passing QB around .500 record.

Even coach said he was ready when Tyrod was in concussion protocol and we thought Nate might have started. Not only that, but being the primary back up for a mobile QB who maybe hasn't missed a ton of games but has taken so many hits that left him getting up slowly...if Nate was indeed "not ready" from the start, then we should really question the coaches for allowing him to be so close to the field from the start.

Jeff Tuel started for us as a rookie and Marrone was Adamant he was ready... there was zero chance he was i think Peterman came into the league with a knowledge of NFL offenses and ready to go as a backup... hence why he won the backup job

I just don't believe the wait had more to do with Peterman's development as much as it was Tyrod's lack of progression. Arguably he got a little better at pocket passing, but not nearly enough to justify sticking with him. I think Peterman is pretty much the same guy he was since preseason, with a bit more knowledge from watching the past 9 weeks.

It was 100% because Tyrod was the vet, voted as Captain. Heck...that's part of why trash TJ Yates was the #2 to start camp. They valued the vet aspect. Peterman took the spot by showing what he's got from the start. They aren't blind. They had to know all along the guy who can throw quick passes in tight windows is a better fit for this O. They just had to wait till Tyrod proved he absolutely can't play NFL QB.

It's sort of true. They credited him at one point for liking Russell Wilson. He he also liked EJ, Geno, Matt Moore, case Keemun, RG3 and and and I think it comes generally from being a positive guy. I tend to look for subtleties in the weaknesses he homes in on during the film segment. But there is no pattern that I've found Edited November 16, 2017 by Over 29 years of fanhood

Yates is a guy I've seen NFL scouts compare Peterman too so that was a good battle for him in camp. I think we pulled TT because we had back to back offensive clunkers when we couldn't... if Peterman was playing average in practice no way they make the switch. He must be scout team MVP

My question was whether Gruden is under contractual obligation to only say nice things about NFL quarterbacks on ESPN. Its not that his contract will state he can "only say nice things", the verbiage in a situation like this will typically outline the focus of the segment and the show. More likely details focusing on the strengths of their game and Gruden presenting them with advice and tips on how to elevate their game at the next level of find success. The show is 100% dead if he ever throws the QB under the bus because agents would no longer allow their prospects to appear on the show. And ESPN needs to protect the investment into the show, that segment probably costs anywhere from $400K to $600K per episode, and wouldn't surprise me if it was even more. If the player has had some sort of off field issue or controversy, I would assume that would be fair game to discuss and stuff. Again, nothing wrong with this, and they don't try and hide the fact either. Its a showcase show, not a true evaluation piece. I rather enjoy it, and Gruden is a guy I do like. But the whole point is you can't put too much stock into it as the end all be all because he is only going to really present half the story. For the record, I like Peterman, so not making these comments to discredit positive comments on Peterman, just pointing out Grudens comments are and will always be an incomplete assessment of any prospect from his show due to the nature of his show.
