Geno vs the Bills in 2014 at MetLife. He had 4 picks in the 1st qtr I believe. Negative. Geno did have a horrid outing in 2013 vs the Bills, but it took him 3Q to rack up 3 INTs. He did add in a couple fumbles and wind up with a rating of 10, though, so good recollection of another Horrid QB performance. Aside: Did you know Geno is still in the league? I didn't. I can't find any game where Smith had 4 INTs, much less in the 1st Q, and I dug into his gamelogs too

Benjamin = 1 Matthews = 8 (5 W), though potentially hampered for some Clay = 5 games, then out until NO Since we're counting, TT has had Matthews and Clay together for 4 games It's not that we don't have some talent at WR, but not enough on the field at the same time. 22 minutes ago, Luka said: Pointing out that there is plenty of talent in the receiving corps and I hadn't even drilled down to Clay and O'Leary. Doesn't matter which QB is out there, they both are inept in their own, obvious ways. Time to go all in this year and get a guy. I'm sick of blaming the rest of the team when it's one position we can't get production out of. We've turned over this roster multiple times and one constant remains. We have below average QB play, and the best you'll get is 9-7 or worse. So here you and I have a point of agreement. There is and was no need to evaluate Peterman. There is a need to go all in at the QB position this year: draft, FA, any and every path. I do disagree on the "plenty of talent" in the receiving corps - it's not that there isn't some talent there, but we didn't start the season with all of it, and enough guys haven't been on the field at the same time.

So sitting at 5-4 and in the playoff hunt, you inexplicably start a rookie 5th rounder "to see what he has"? Really? What you should do is get the guy in games that are out of hand and/or you start him once the Bills are eliminated from the playoff picture. Like I've said before, McDermott's decision to start Peterman was, in my mind, a distraction to take the focus off how horrible the defense has been playing as of late. JMO

Better QBs have made more of much, much less. And you have to evaluate everyone. Peterman could've had a Matt Flynn kinda day, you sit him back down and now suddenly he's worth a second in the offseason. Hyperbole maybe, but these things have happened plenty of times in the past. What would be bad about drafting a guy, having him beat out a guy that other teams think looks good and now you've got some draft capital back. It just blew up in their faces in epic, epic fashion.

Where DOES this notion come from? You don't have to evaluate everyone, not in a game during the regular season. That's what preseason and meaningless games at the end of the season are for. The Chargers game-planned based on what they saw on film in preseason and it worked 3-2-1-liftoff. If our coaches needed to put a 5th round rookie in the game because they "couldn't evaluate him" otherwise, and needed to make up their minds whether to go for a franchise QB in the draft based on how a 5th round rookie looks in a few games, all I can say is their player evaluation skills are quite suspect for that. You bring up Matt Flynn, which is an interesting point. Flynn's first start was as a 3rd year player on a team that was 8-6 at that point with a #2 D and a top-10 O. He knows the system thoroughly. The receivers, the OL, ditto. He steps in, he knows the plays, he knows the players, he takes a lot of sacks rather than risk an INT when he can't safely throw it away. The game you're talking about which gave Flynn trade value was his 4th year, playing on an even stronger team in an end of season game and he did better. Less sacks, more completions. I suppose it could happen that if you took Flynn and flung him into a new system with WR who are barely familiar with it, he'd have looked glorious, but I do doubt it.

How about the Saints? Tedd Ginn Jr was a journeyman before having a guy that could put the ball on him accurately and consistently. How about Stafford? Still putting up numbers without Megatron, wonder how he would feel with Matthews, Benjamin and Clay at tight end. Receivers do not make a QB better, it's the other way around. Find me a hall of fame wideout that had middling QB talent his entire career. Chris Carter is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Jerry Rice had freakin Joe Montana and Steve Young. Our boy Andre had Kelly.

You're making the assertion that better QB than TT have done more with worse WR. We're asking you for examples. Go.

NewEraBills Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Quote Just watched all of his throws. I actually like the kid. Few takeaways. Peterman's first two passes were on the money and great reads/passes. The first pass out of the shotgun to Clay was a great read and quick throw. Good placement.13:28 1st qtr. 2nd pass at 12:59 to Benjamin GREAT. ON time; great placement. Next pass attempt he scrambles. 12:30 1st qtr. 12:01 1st qtr the descent into hell begins - this should have been caught by DiMarco. Pass was not made from an ideal posture though. But still hit DiMarco in his hands and thus should have been caught. Next pass to Holmes - not a bad read. Had 1v1. Overthrew it to live a next down. 10:54 1st Next Pass Underthrown for an interception - did not trust the protection and defenders were really on him as he threw this one up for grabs off of his back foot. That's why it was underthrown. 10:44 1st qtr Next Pass to Charles Clay - Quick Out. Good fast read. Good throw. 3:44 1st. Next Pass - hit in the face when he threw it. DuCasse got his QB killed. Another floater up for grabs and intercepted 1:20 1st qtr 12:45 2nd qtr another quick pass. Ball Placement is the issue here IMO. The CB jumped the pass from the inside. If he places this outside the WR then it's either a completion or an incompletion, not an interception. 9:55 2nd qtr - Smash concept to the QB's left. Good read. Hit's Thompson underneath. 9:23 2nd qtr - RO pass, probably should have just thrown this away. Lucky the CB went out of bounds or else probably would have been INT 5 right here. 4:00 2nd qtr - Good read to the right WR just a bad pass. 1:00 2nd qtr - Good read; great pass to Thompson :42 2nd qtr - Good read; miscommunication with WR. Not sure if this was on Peterman or Thompson. Peterman threw 5 INT's and that's just not going to ever look good. But there were some good things, some really good things. Three of the INT's could have been avoided if he just eats the ball and takes the sack. One could have been avoided if the FB catches the football. The other was ball placement. The end result never looks good no matter how one tries to fix it. But there are some positives in there. I think that game showed he has some maturing to do as a passer. I wouldn't write him off yet, I would also be very nervous about him starting too LOL. No matter who our QB is, we have serious trench problems. Juan strikes again. Ravens fans are smiling from cheek to cheek about our OL because they got their answer as to whether Castillo was their problem the last few years. 1 1
