But yes, any plan with Peterman as a starting QB seems contrary to either goal. 1

He has been purposely ignored, as have several in the local media, since 2011. That is a directive from on high. As as for the piece in today’s news, Bucky covered all the bases, with the idea of Petermen being just one of them. He expertly narrowed the QB question down to a free agent, a trade, a draft pick, or someone already on the roster. Bucky = Dunkirk Don?! Edited January 25, 2018 by YoloinOhio

After reading this thread my biggest takeaway is I am surprised on how many bills fans have completely given up on Peterman after one really bad outing. I don't make a decision on a guy until at least a half dozen games So you're not equally or more surprised by those anointing him the 2018 starter? He also ended our playoff game with an interception, by the way. I think those who are bit negative about his future at this point have more justification than a troll who has had a known affinity for below average Bills QB's for over a decade...

I think everyone on the board overreacts to these kinds of threads, everyone wants to tear everyone down for just saying per an inside source. I take any "insider" thread with a grain of salt but I always enjoy reading them. Unfortunately they are always filled with pages of pages of "you are an idiot" "you are a troll" blah blah, I just find it all a waste of time. For your first point, I am not willing to move on from Peterman and just cut him because of his one bad game, but if the Bills are in position to get one of the top guys I am all for it but honestly I don't see it happening. So I think the realistic outcome will be a bridge QB like Bradford or Smith, or we draft a guy in the late 1st/early 2nd and if that is the case then Peterman has a real shot to be the starter this year....like it or not. Bring 3 qbs in the competition next spring, I just don't see the Bills giving away 3 1st rounders + more to get in top 5. 1

Peterman’s best chance is for the Bills to land Cousins and skip a rookie in the draft. If the Bills sign a stop gap vet (like Bradford or Bridgewater) and draft a guy (maybe Rudolph) why would they carry 3? I'm more confident that Peterman more likely to be on the roster than TT. If he isn't then so be it. He is an inconsequential player and an exchangeable player. I don't consider him starting material.. He has the smarts for the position but lacks the physical talents. He reminds me of a second-class Frank Reich type of player. If he is on the roster he will be as a backup. The more intriguing qb issue is: Which qb is the team going to pursue in free agency? And associated with that issue is: Are the Bills going to use a high pick for a qb? If the Bills acquire a qb such as Bridgewater then they may concentrate their efforts on addressing multiple needs instead of using pick/s to get a high-end qb prospect in this drafty. I don't want to be categorized as a Taylor basher because I am not. He has served this franchise well. However, the Taylor saga has played out. It's over!

I think this thread is just as much a response to his nonsense as it is an actual discussion over Peterman's future. If Peterman was gone tomorrow and the Bills drafted another QB project in the 6th round next year, Savor would have a new obsession.

Nihilarian Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Well, considering Darnold will probably be the first QB off the board I doubt the Bills will land him. Anything anyone says from a team standpoint is most likely just smoke because they don't want their real intentions known to anyone. As far as the ZERO interest in Mayfield, Jackson, and Rudolph can't be believed because if one of those guys is there when they pick they will take them. I get the idea they might even trade up for Mayfield.

A bridge vet and an early draft pick isn’t good for him.

You know the thing is I really want to like Peterman......he has accuracy...he has wheels.... He needs time......I dont for a second think the bills are hitching their wagon to just Peterman
Steptide Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) How can people chalk Peterman up to being bad already? He played one half of football. You cannot base ANY quarterback on a half of a football game. Remeber when we beat the Patriots back in 2011? Brady threw 4 interceptions in that game. FOUR. a guy who had 11 years experience, superbowl wins, and multiple playoff berths. My point is, you cannot base one game on a person's talent/longevity Edited January 25, 2018 by Steptide 1

His 40 time was slower than Watson, Trubisky, Davis Webb, Mahomes, Watson, other dudes who don't matter, etc., and he never really proved this in a game. Wonder where this is coming from as he certainly doesn't have "speed" in a Mariota / Tyrod sense. Are we just assuming that he can rumble if given the chance a la Blake Bortles? Genuinely curious.

JMO but I think he has reasonable mobility/short area quickness. He can only earn his keep as a passer but he can help himself out at times with his legs provided he gets his head out of harms way.

Uh... yeah. Backups prepare like they're starting week in and week out. If this kid is as "cerebral" and "pro ready" as people make him out to be, he should've seen on film study that the Jags secondary is fast as hell, Ramsey especially. We can take a little of the blame off Peterman and throw Dennison under the bus for calling a crap game and not being able to adjust and find ways to beat their defense. But again, they know Ramsey goes all over the field, he's a ball hawk and a playmaker. And Peterman oughta know his own arm because if you're gonna throw that out-route on Ramsey you better let it fly the moment you hit your final step in your dropback and an accurate ball hits the receiver right in the numbers as soon as he breaks his route and turns around. Instead Peterman waited at the top of his dropback, threw a weak ball, Ramsey covered a bunch of field in a split second and picked him off. And he was in the game because Taylor got his bell rung and this current regime felt comfortable with a 5th round rookie as their primary backup. Edited January 25, 2018 by blacklabel

Very good decisiveness. Quick release. Glaringly obvious when compared to Tyrod. Look at him like a scout, not like a fan. Undersized and potentially weak arm, sure. But there is some potential upstairs. SD game was terrible, everyone agrees, but imagine everybody gave up on you on your first day at the job.

zow2 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 It's not talked about much but Peterman played pretty solid in the snow game until he made the dumb decision to dive headfirst instead of safely sliding. I do believe if he had played the full game he would've led the Bills to a W. He needs to shake off that INT bug in preseason. After that SD debacle, when DB's see Peterman in the game they are cheating to get a jump on the ball. He needs to make them pay and a good O-coordinator and help him.

Exactly. Training for the hardest job in sports. If the coaching staff loves him, and they see him everyday, I'm interesting in seeing more. Your thought process is nasty. And says a lot about how you view yourself when you have a bad day. I hope Peterman has more self-esteem.
