BillsSbSoon Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Just watched his presser and was honestly pretty blown away by his words and how he handled himself. He was always really poised at bama and you can see it here. Hated him in college cause i hate alabama but he made a lot of clutch throws, he is not going to be rattled Starter or not we are fortunate hes going to be in that qb room because hes going to work his ass off and whomever we draft, they are going to make each other better 2
Wily Dog Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I wonder what the number one and number two, antagonists for Peterman are going to to do now as Peterman and McCarron are 5th round draft choices and allegedly do not have superior arms. The choice is between the two. One is going to start. Edited March 16, 2018 by Wily Dog

Kelly the Dog Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I don't think he is a very good starting material quarterback, but I am very glad we have him, we paid what he is worth or less, and he's almost impossible not to like as a guy and human being and teammate. Well done, Mr. Beane. 2

Expand Nah no coaching staff holds out long enough, lose a couple game and suddenly "The rookie is magically ready" He will play the same week one and week six. Put him in there and let him learn, it cant ruin him it will just show you if he has it or not.

Put him in there and let him learn, it cant ruin him it will just show you if he has it or not. Expand I disagree. The potential is there for a rookie to be ruined if he is not ready to run the offense at the professional "NFL" level. Peterman might end up being an example of this. It is incredibly hard to come back from the deficit Peterman is in now because of his label as "ultimate Pick thrower". (At least as a Buffalo Bill it will be.) He was thrown in before he was ready and he sucked - record setting sucked. Because of that, his leash is a lot shorter than it otherwise probably would have been. Coaches will be afraid to play him unless he looks far superior to whoever he is competing against. And his NFL tape now looks like crap for the rest of the league to see. Might have ruined his career. Even if his ultimate ceiling was just going to be "a decent backup" in the NFL, he is more likely to end up out of the NFL sooner than he otherwise would because of his wretched play. That is of course unless he starts playing truly superior football. He has a much bigger hill to climb now than he would have if he had sat the bench all year - or just played mop up duty. Same thing could happen to another rookie - even one with higher perceived potential than Peterman had coming into the NFL. 3

Well done, Mr. Beane. Expand None of us really know how he'll perform. 4 years studying and learning about playing QB in the NFL, a chance for the first time to truly compete for a starting position with a new team, new coaches and a new offense. It's a big wait and see and he might make the leap forward that others have. Agree that it's a very friendly contract and glad the Bills were able to sign him.

Expand AJ was good, when he threw to AJ Green last year, Bengals 3rd receiver was better than whoever we trotted out as our best (who? Deonte Thompson??). Mind you KB's best year was his rookie year where he scratched 1003 yards with an MVP QB. He was OKAY, with a lot of drops. A BETTER WR is Steve Smith Sr. who had over 1200 yards in Cam's rookie year .

The onus ain't on the quarterbacks folks. Good signing, but keep in mind, It takes 2 to tango.

It won’t be the game in San Diego imo. The aforementioned lack of arm strength was the cause of those interceptions. We witnessed it again when he replaced an injured TT in Jax to throw a game ending pick. Once again, it was picked off due to lack of arm strength. For the sake of full disclosure, I was an advocate of Peterman heading into this past season. I’m no longer convinced that he has an NFL caliber arm whatsoever.

DJB Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 The one thing i do love about AJ is hes willing to be a bit of a gunslinger and take chances and throw in tight windows. Or allow his wr to make a play. No more Tyrod who only throws when a guy is clearly open. Im just hoping AJ is not as much of a risk taker as Fitz because nobody wants to see that either.

Honestly I'd put him up there for NFL's most improved player (wish that was a thing). He beefed up and looks like Michael Thomas with his physicality.

It’s hard to judge any of Taylor’s targets on their time together. He just didn’t throw to them on a regular basis.... We only seen A.J. with quality WRs but he made quality throws, hopefully he’ll be able to get more out of these guys then Taylor has. We’re about to see and I look forward to it.
