One game of action...seriously? Complaining about interceptions from a rookie who has no fear throwing in tight windows after three stinking years of Tyrod Taylor playing it super safe and not ever throwing it WRs who were not completely wide open? You know, in another thread someone actually dug out a "throwing into tight windows" stat chart, from NextGenStats. It was funny to see another one of these hysterical message-board-cliches actually quantified. You can check out the entire chart by the link below, but two quick points : There is no correlation between good quarterbacking and frequency throwing into "tight windows". As an example, one Mr. Aaron Rodgers occupies the slot immediately below Taylor. And although Carson Wentz is pretty good and occupies the highest rating, there are some pretty shabby players in the group immediately below him. Even more amusing? Let's take Drew Brees as an example : His percent of attempts "throwing into tight windows" is 1.4% higher than Taylor. That translates into about six attempts over the course of Taylor's season and plus-minus 3.68 completions - round-up and say one every four games. Now, that's playing it super safe, right? https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/200274-tyrod-taylor-playoff-qb/?page=16&tab=comments#comment-4800854

Pathetic is an excellent choice of words. I'm laughing at the fervor they have in their knowing Peterson's a bust after four quarters of NFL action.
Wily Dog Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Brady, as everyone knows was a 6th rd. pick. Prescott was a fourth rd. pick. Joe Montana was a third rd. pick presumably ,because he had a weak arm. all of you pseudo GM's know for a fact that Peterman has a weak arm because one you put it on the board. The rest of you, like lemmings picked up on it , so it must be true. I say wait until next year to see how it sorts out. you may be surprised. 1

But he sure throws a lot of picks. I do know that. 1
Ga boy Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I don't think we have seen enough to know if he is good or bad, or weak or strong armed. We do know that he does some stupid stuff, like intentional grounding. We do have glimpses that the guy is a leader, has confidence, can throw guys open, and isn't afraid to throw it in a tight window. I like him, but the jury is still out.

ghostwriter Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Peterman deserves to be on the practice squad, he should not be on an active roster, he serves no purpose as a starter or a backup.

Had Hotrod NOT brought us back from 7 down vs Bucs, or Joe Webb III not completed that great pass to Thompson, or had we not beat the Fish in the last game, or the D stepping up vs Cheaps, or beat the defending NFC champs, we still would have been out. We won a playoff spot by following the rules set up by the NFL before the season started. Those loser teams that didn't make it (Chargers and Raisins) should have done better than us which they did not. Bills are far from the only team to ever get in with help. Why can't we just admit that the bills had a good season and our QB played good enough to get us there? It's true. It happened. I'll be waiting for a yeah but ... "Don't leave home without it!"

Buffalo Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I gave Peterman excuse but last game made me sure. Lack or arm hurting him. Neither Tyrod or him future QBS,

Right. I'm sure the coaches will demote him to the PS or just cut him, for after 1 rookie season and about 1 game he's surely proven he serves no purpose as you say.

Didn't like him as a college QB either.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Are you eligible for the PS after you have a full NFL accrued season and were on the active gameday roster for 16 games?

He's not a good NFL backup or starter or a bum that should be cut IMO. Too soon to tell, but of course if he's as bad as so many of the expert posters on this board say, the Bills will surely cut him soon.

Too soon to tell, but of course if he's as bad as so many of the expert posters on this board say, the Bills will surely cut him soon. He set a record for most INTs in a half, not a very good sign and I never thought he was a good QB even at the collegiate level, let alone the NFL. I think he will be out of the league in less than 5 years.
