Personally I think all that is coach speak Peterman was here strictly as a emergency measure......and once they get a vet holding the clipboard the best he will be is practice squad.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Maybe no official signing until all locker room and shower mats are securely fastened to the floor?

Warcodered Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 What player has McDermott ever thrown under the bus?

I think we need a capable back up behind Allen regardless, but for what purpose this year? Also, by "need a smart, veteran QB in the room to help mentor Allen," do you mean a coach? One that maybe knows the QB position? And is paid to be the "QB coach?" Because that's essentially what we are now double-paying for if Anderson is signed. I wish we could cut a coach to save a roster spot, but there's no rule or practice anywhere that says you need a smart, veteran QB to help teach you the game before you can succeed - nor is there any guarantee that having one will even help in the slightest. Unpopular opinion: let Peterman be the cheap back up option this year and BRING IN AN ACTUAL QB COACH OR OC WHO KNOWS THE POSITION. I get we need to help him develop now, and I don't fully disagree with this move (if he signs), but let's bring in someone whose purpose is to develop Allen. He is the future at the moment, and whether it's Allen or someone else next year, or a few seasons down the line, we still need an OC/QB coach capable of developing players at that position. Anderson is not a capable backup...........he's been bad in that role. I understand that they mishandled the offseason backup QB situation and now the pickings are slim..........but when something better comes along Anderson NEEDS TO GO. He is awful. My concern is that McD will get comfortable with him like they did in Carolina and miss opportunities again for a legit helpful vet backup.
Mr. WEO Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Did he bring his mentoring CV with him? Some DVDs, maybe? Certificates? Edited October 8, 2018 by Mr. WEO

Agreed - never thought he would be a great back up, but I'm just more upset that we're basically already paying a guy to do what Andersen is going to do (QB coach), without having to suit up on Sundays. While he might be better than Peterman, he's not going to win games if he is to play at all. I think this is temporary for now until they find something better. It's only natural, though that he come from Carolina... Edited October 9, 2018 by ctk232
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Is it strange that this didn’t happen today? I was actually very excited about this signing. I hope something didn’t fall through here. This team needs another guy that can play qb. There is no way Nate can go back on the field. Edited October 9, 2018 by Brianmoorman4jesus 1

Like, there will be language in there saying, "If you say one smart thing on the sidelines that Josh nods to, AND uses in a game AND it works, you get an extra $500,000. But it's not one of those incentives the league and NFLPA label "likely to happen." 4

Don't discount that the Bills and Sabres try not to step on each other with news and it was a Sabres afternoon game day. They may have Derek do a presser tomorrow and announce it.

A Derek Anderson signing and the 3rd game of the regular season for the Sabres? I can see naming a coach or something but come on. Hopefully it was just contract language

I don't think you need to worry about McD getting comfortable with Anderson past this season. Anderson remarried, he's got a young child and a dog. He may be willing to spend a season in Buffalo to lay down more funding in his kid's college fund, but he's not gonna want to be staying. Unless you meant "within this season" for the missed vet backup ops?
