What do you think the Broncos have been doing with him for the past 2.5 years? 

 

 

Not defending Lynch but I think Denver has shown they’re not very good at developing quarterback talent the last 15 years or so. 

(Not that buffalo is any better at it lol)

I love this move.  LOVE it. 

 

First off, Lynch is only 24.  He has only played 5 games in two years.  He had a great first game his rookie season, then the wheels came off second game vs. a great Falcons D where he was sacked six times.

 

Last season, he was sacked 9 times in two games.  That's 15 sacks in 3 of his 5 starts.  Denver's OLine isn't anything to write home about either.

 

First off, he is 6'7 and 244 (Allen is 6'5, 237)  Both are athletic for big men and can move their feet.

 

Both have strong arms.

 

Watching the preseason game vs Cardinals last week, you can definitely tell this guy has lost his mechanics.   With Lynch, the video I attached you can tell he is very jumpy in the pocket.  There were many throws where he never really set his feet, nor his body angle.  He was just throwing it to get rid of it.  Secondly, he would look downfield for a second or two then just dump it off to the back.  His feet again on most of these throws were not set.

 

But you'll notice on this video he made some pretty amazing throws.  One at the 1:50 mark where Lynch scrambled left and against his body looped the ball to the WR.  IT was an impressive throw that he made happen with his athleticism.  He made some other pretty nice throws as well.  You can also tell he is very athletic escaping the pocket and moves well on his feet.  His ability to move out of the pocket on a few plays reminds me a bit of Allen.

 

The problem with Lynch was he was thrust into action his first season and he wasn't ready.  His very first game his rookie year he had a 94.1 QB rating.  He came off the rails against a good Falcons team.  I'm sure the pressure of being the first pick and being viewed as the savior of the Broncos weighed on his since they had no one else on the roster who could play while he sat and learned.  The more they lost with the other QB's, the more the pressure was on him to be ready.  He was just never able to grow into the position naturally.   

 

That's why Peterman is starting for Buffalo.  Because McD knows Allen isn't ready.  Why rush him and create a situation where he learns bad habits by getting thrown to the wolves ALA Lynch.

 

As for Lynch, this is a fresh start for him where he isn't expected to come in and be the savior of a franchise.    He can come in and work with Daboll, who I'm sure will help him with his foot work similar to how they helped Allen.  He can just sit and learn, which he couldn't do in Denver.

 

In this league, you can never have enough QB's.  McCarron is an example of this. Just for having him on our team we got a 5th round pick.

 

If Buffalo can turn Lynch around and get him to drop some of his bad habits this might be a steal of a player.  
 

If not, no harm no foul cutting a 3rd QB on your team.

I gotta say after watching the video, give him a look.  His 2 TD’s were better throws than Tyrod can do.  First one, threw they guy open.  Second one, let the receiver make a play.

 

Most of the throws were short passes, almost screens.  Seemed to be situational with short yardage for a first.  He did seem to make those dump off passes after looking downfield a few times.

 

Honestly remember the hype over him.  Concerned that he’s been a disaster.  Worth a look see and possibly be our 3rd running the scoUt team.

I'll watch it in a sec but you do remember Peterman's 1st game vs the Chargers last year right? Or should i link that one too?

It was pretty bad, Regular season game too

[fridge]

This guy really has practice squad eligibility left? If so, and that's where we put him, I can't see the issue here at all.

WTF, does Beane think he's running a FFF** refugee camp

Well, there's a couple of ways of looking at it (same with Coleman): 

 

1.  It doesn't hurt to kick the tires on a previously highly regarded prospect

2.  Do they think these players may have been poorly coached up and they can do better?  It happens in the NBA all the time.

We won’t be the only team looking at him.  I bet the jets do, too at least

I'm hesitant to call that "struggling."  His receivers are getting no separation, all he has to throw are short outs and underneath stuff, and he's hitting receivers in the hands except for a couple of times his receivers didn't run their routes properly.

 

But it's not a good performance, either - he looks completely disinterested, he's not going through any reads, and he's staring down his receivers.  He looks like...every QB the Bills have had over the past 15 or so years.

This is too funny

If we don't laugh at this impending train-wreck of a season, we'll have to drink and cry.

It wasn't an ideal situation. This is his 3rd offensive coordinator in 3 years. 

But still....you're a 1st rounder with tremendous physical ability, make a play!

 The "competition" the last two years was heavily slanted in his favor and he still got steamrolled.

Please, no.

Really a 3rd string QB cements your faith in front office. This makes the depth chart pretty clear if signed. The 3rd string QB doesn't even dress usually. He is perfect to hold the clip board.

Coach McDermott is out to torment you. He made Peterson the starter and kept Logan Thomas on the roster.

These are also the reasons why I think they should have a 3rd QB.  If you think Allen isn't ready, what if Peterman gets injured early in a game and Allen has to be put in the game?  If he has a game like Peterman had vs the Chargers, you take the risk of killing his confidence and then he'll also have the media and fan scrutiny that Peterman faced.  With McCarron gone to Oakland, you then have to bring in another QB who doesn't know the system and playbook so you may have to continue to play Allen, who you previously decided wasn't ready, until the new QB is up to speed.

How is a guy being worked out for a PS spot causing such consternation? He has physical talent just has not shown mental talent. I will not get excited about any practice squad guys.

Who is Peterson and where does he start?

Good, make our embarrassment complete.
