This is my question to the Peterman faithful.... How can you say that?  He played 2 series in a blow put game.  I just don't understand how/why everyone is so confident that Peterman is the next great QB.  

I think it's more optimism about Peterman actually being able to throw to our WRs and sustain drives, than it is thinking he's the next great QB. I mean, he's going to have to be absolutely awful to do less than TT. And, even if he is awful, oh well, as we definitely weren't going anywhere other than 6-10 or 7-9 with Tyrod.

Five words. Seven Sacks By The Jets. NP will get the ball out in rhythm, helps OL, Run game and by staying on field the defense.

That's funny....  All the rookie 5th rond icks who started have lit it up and can read D's and complete passes.  

 

Wow talk about blind Faith.....

The Bills even with decimating the offense and lousy play calling are 5-4.....

 

The question is why no wait a week?  Because if Tyrod played well they couldn't make a change....  And play out the masterful draft strategy?

I guess I get that.  And, as a Bills fan, I truly hope he can and does excel.  I just don't get the euphoria around it.  Maybe, I'm just too jaded, but I've seen far more rookie QBs fail than succeed.  And given that we have almost no actual game footage to go on, I really don't understand the certainty that so many posters seem to have.

The bar is Low!!!! I admit it. This is a function of how poorly we have brought in QB prospects as a team. There have been numerous threads about this the past few years.

Off the top of my head, NP has looked better than :

C. Jones

EJ

JP

The last guy who looked competent was Trent. As a beginner he showed something.

Then he took that hit/ concussion and he was finished.

Todd Collins? Not!!!

Im not saying he’s great or that I know he will do anything.

I’m simply asking what young guy has looked better than him? 

Im hoping for 1 TD, 225 ish leading to an opened up run game and 3 FGs added in there and it’s been a successful debut.

Sure make peyton Manning and Tom Brady read option rollout running QBs.  Great idea.

??????  was that a dis?  if it was they would certainly be more accurate throwing the ball-and not just to the running backs!

You mean wait a week so we can see 75 more ball pats and WRs waving their arms while standing in the middle of the field wide open? Wait a week so Tyrod can throw for 120 yards and we can be 5-5? Can you honestly say you don't get 100% frustrated watching him play QB? Are the two to three good plays he makes each game enough to leave you wanting more?

I get that too. Nobody can be certain, but there's a sense of hope and excitement because there's a CHANCE he may do well, which is potential for a huge change of pace over the TT mediocrity.

I genuinely hope everyone is right.  I'll certainly be watching intently.  

 

My only ask... Let's not all fall apart when the kid struggles.   If he does have it, it's going to take me than a game or 2.

Its very simple.......   Calculated risk....

 

The calculation is that TT total production passing and running average is less than 215 yards per game.

 

That is not a recipe to win.  

 

Calculated risk, does Peterman produce more than 215 yards?  

 

The coach thinks so.  And, possibly believes that the other teams wont crowd the line of scrimmage as much so the running game has a chance.  

 

I say why not, I like Peterman a lot  but understand we have not seen him in a real game yet.  But, whats the difference limping into the playoffs to get beat up the first game is no great thing either.  Peterman does not need to be Dan Marino just throw the ball well enough to get the other team to play honest.

No someone said the QB should adapt to the offense.....  I was pointing out if a OC tried to make Brady or Manning running QB's it would fail.....

 

It was a silly comment and post.

Loser mentality from a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 17 years.  

 

The 215 had many posters saying yards didn't matter, nor passing, just W's......

How many rookie 5th round QB's succeeded in their first start?  BTW Tom Brady was 1 for 3 in his rookie year, before someone says something.....

The coach said it is a calculated risk.  He thinks Peterman might run the offense better.    We'll see what happens.  You don't like it apply for the job

Not a loser mentality.  One form someone who has actually watched the the games this year.  Think about it, a QB that produces a total of 215 yards a game in a way that cripples the run.  Misses open receivers, doesn't hit open receiver in stride, doesn't throw to open receivers.  I guess I fail to see the up side.  

 

There is no rule saying that if Peterman craps the bed he wont be benched.

Why the f*** not?   A move indicates an organization that's willing to try new things... I'm happy to see the "best chance to win" mentality DIE with guys like Chan Gailey, and Rex Ryan.

 

This, this a thousand times this

If we win it will be a great Hauchka day

He has to play lights out for the rest of season for there to be ANY chance. 

If I had my druthers he’d give us 5 FGs tomorrow.

Maybe the play calling has been dictated by TTs inability and not the other way about?
