Once you were with a company did anyone ever ask you where you went to college or what your GPA was? You missed the point of my post with respect to my response to Gunner. It dealt with his talent level relative to when he was selected. 3 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Most teams do not.

That doesn't not refute the fact that most NFL teams these days only carry 2 QBs on the 53 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM is making backup QB money and he's only guaranteed the opportunity to compete for the starting job. You are incorrect on Peterman with regard to practice squad eligibility. 2 minutes ago, JohnC said: At times you can be utterly ridiculous. Give me a break. Just admit you are incorrect and move on.

Presuming that the Bills draft a QB in the 1st round there will be a chance that he starts. 5th round QBs are released on a regular basis in the NFL so I'm not sure why you think there is some kind of big risk associated with Peterman.

I agree. If they take a 1st round QB he wold have to really suck in camp and pre-season to start the season as the #3. Therefore one of AJ McCarron or Peterman will.

I don't want to be a tool, because I'm not personally espousing "Peterman sucks", but help me understand why can't we risk putting Nate on the PS exactly? Do you really see the league as clamoring to snap him up off waivers if we do? Again, I have personally not written Peterman off, I hear he's got a good head for the game and if he tunes out the noise and keeps working, he could be a capable NFL QB so I'm not trying to be a "meanie" here, but I wouldn't think that teams around the league would be clamoring to snap up a guy who set a league record for # of picks in the first half of a game.

I just have to hope Peterman isn't a late camp cut next year because then he could technically be out of football on opening day if nobody picked him up fast enough. Oh, it is Bills opening day ok? To keep it firm because they have the whole Thursday night thing early start etc. So it is Bills opening day, wheather he is on the Bills or another team, whatever day the Bills season opens will be the day ok?

I’m not sure of the risk? If you are that concerned with losing Peterman you need to consider available options. Would you rather have Peterman or Cutler, Anderson, or Matt Moore? Those guys are all free agents. Every one of those guys represents a significant upgrade over Peterman. He’s 50/50 to be on the roster at this point. It all depends on how they feel about the depth elsewhere. They could carry an extra DB or WR that can contribute on ST over a 3rd QB. Less than half of the teams in the league carry 3 QBs.

John, please ....you have to acknowledge that "the practice squad" and "the roster" are different terms with different meanings. Come on. Or, I guess you don't have to acknowledge it, but failing to acknowledge it makes you look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Bills opening day 2019. He doesn't have to be active on gameday.... him being on a 53 is your win, but him being on a Practice Squad is my win.
