Tanner Lee is a dark horse QB to keep an eye on

Look I've been supportive of Nate. I've stood up for the rook when people have written him off. I hope your right because I don't wanna look stupid for trying to stay a Petermaniac. If he doesn't start and show some promise I'm done.

 

Even after the 5 interceptions I had the rooks back. Defended the choice to start him. He better be Tom Brady 2.0 or I'm joining your group of haters. I don't like you cheating on him thinking of other Saviors. 

lol...i think with a second off season...and i know i've said all this before in other threads....but i think this kid has the smarts and that's the no. 1 quality of a qb.

 

maybe he's a fitz, maybe he's an alex smith....which is why i'd rather not pay a lot to get smith....maybe he turns out to be a playoff caliber starter. i believe if this last year had been his second season and he started all 16, we would have been 10-6.

 

i would prefer we get foles over anyone, but i'm also ok with them feeling they can roll with nate and a rookie. i hate to see them toss draft picks to move up because it will take a ton to move up.

I'd like to understand your logic.    Because based on the limited amount we did get to see him play, it seems more like the Bills would have been competing with San Fran and the Giants for worst team in the NFL not from Cleveland.

No.

 

We don’t need to keep an eye on “dark horse” QB’s because our roster is already full of crappy dark horse QB’s.

 

The Bills will be bringing in something “a little more legitimate” than a dark horse.

 

Should I make a thread saying so?

Do you think Cleveland would swap #1 and #4 for #21 and #22 if we threw in Peterman?

 

Maybe we can get "savior" to lead the conference call with Beane and Cleveland's front office???

 

I mean it's clear they don't read any scouting reports, nor watch any football themselves, so I'm sure with his enthusiasm and "Peterman hard-on" he could convince them in a couple of minutes.

 

They traded the rights to draft Wentz away, why wouldn't they do it again?

 

Especially when they're getting back the real deal!!

Only surpassed by a Taylor, Peterman, Lee depth chart.

Hyperbole aside would a Peterman - Lee depth chart be the worst in NFL history? I honestly believe that it would be right in the conversation. There was an article not too long ago about the 10 worst depth charts of the last decade. Losman, Edwards, Nall was 4. Edwards, Fitz, Hamadan and EJ, Tuel, Thad were honorable mentions. Number one on the list was Grossman, Beck and Crompton. Peterman - Lee is a lot worse than any of those. It has a chance to be the worst QB depth chart that I can remember.

Thank God that it actually doesn't beyond the active imagination of the OP.

Wouldn't Kyle Lauletta be a more plausible fella insofar as Senior Bowl success might actually improve his draft stock?  But OP is a provocateur and not really serious, so all this is besides the point.

this may be the greatest descriptor ever.

I couldn't watch the Senior Bowl.  My wife was watching a Hallmark movie on the oly TV with a cable box.  I can read game summaries.  They did not sound encouraging.  However, Lee got a Senior Bowl invite for a reason.  Somebody thinks he's got NFL upside.   There are so many variables in the draft, I couldn't begin to try and predict what will actually happen.  The best mock drafters might get a handful of first round predictions right.  After that it's a total crap shoot.  Tanner Lee might be the last QB Buffalo would want to take in the draft, but I'll guarantee  they are aware of him, and have a scenario in mind where picking him makes sense.  Do I think it's going to happen?  No.  But nothing shocks me about the draft.

But if we are looking for another solid developmental prospect to compete for the backup job behind Peterman 

 

Thanks for my laugh of the day.  I needed that.

IIRC, it was only because Mason Rudolph couldn't play due a foot injury.

But after Rudolph got hurt, that invitation went to Tanner lee rather than another one of the hundred or so QBs that might have been eligible for the senior bowl.

Had to get someone to fill the spot. He's not much of a prospect from an NFL perspective.

FYI - when I say this year's NP, I obviously mean a steal that was drafted later than he should be.

 

Because in a few years when all these pundits do their '2017 redrafts' pretty sure NP will be a 1st rounder, maybe even top 10 pick depending how his career goes.

 

In fact I already saw one that had Patrick Mahomes as  top 5 draft pick if they could redo it today, and he's a very similar player to NP just with a much bigger arm.

Peterman was a steal?!  Interesting

I think that he meant Peterman “stole” not Peterman was a “steal.”

Interestingly, the scouting report on Mahomes is has a really really big arm.  Needs to work on absolutely everything else but that big arm makes it worth It. 

[DCOrange]

Tanner Lee has good arm strength. That's it though. His footwork makes me want to cry and his accuracy would have you begging to bring EJ Manuel back.

[K D]

I watched the senior bowl and thought these guys look pretty decent except for that kid from Nebraska, he's horrible. If they are looking for "this year's Peterman" then i think they need to dream a little bigger than the absolute worst QB to take a snap in the NFL this year

I think he's quoting the defensive secondary whenever Nate drops back to pass :

"Oh boy! It's a steal......"

Your move, Buffalo Barbarian.  There is a new challenger!!

[CEN-CAL17]

Has all the physical tools it’s just He brain farts too much as forces his hand to often. A very impatient QB.
