He’s probably safe.

 

 

Not me!

 

I did not like wasting our 5th round pick on him. I was never impressed with the guy.

 

I don't begrudge his time with us, because I had no expectations from him.

 

That being said, good for him for still staying in the league.

Hey kudos to him… Not easy to stick in this league. 

True, but for backup QB's it seems much easier than other positions.

It isn't racism, exactly.  There are more black QBs in the league than I can count without doing more work than I want to.  Kaepernick is being blackballed because he insisted on bringing attention to a problem the NFL wanted kept quiet, and because a third of America foolishly believes everything Trump says.  Trump used Kaepernick's protest as one of his many wedge issues, and his followers lapped it up.  And now the cold-eyed NFL figures bringing Kaepernick back would not gain it anything and would cost it a lot of Trump's followers.  For a heartless, soulless, amoral league, this is an easy decision.

just cause you don’t wanna count how many black qbs are in the league doesn’t make this not racism.

Just a camp arm for the 90 that has no chance at stirring up competition talk... has to be.

The first INT he threw in that game was a good pass that should have been caught, but the Bill receiver (a fullback whose name escapes me)

 

That would be Patrick "breasts on a Bull" DiMarco.  (I used the "T" word, as in "useless as t's on a bull").

Will this league ever stop recycling crap players and coaches…, 

 

obviously the answer is no,

I think I need some Peterman Can!!

Peterman has looked great at times with the Raiders in preseason the last few years, albeit against mostly backup level competition.

 

Would be interesting to see what he does in live action again if he ever gets a chance to start again. Either way good for him for finding a way to hang around this league so long.

Man backup QBs just have a way of sticking in the league. Hell prob have a 10 year career of being below average, save his body, and have a comfortable nest egg to fall back on 

..and as a worker, I'm very pleased that backups can stick around.They're making a solid living, earning millions, for only knowing the playbook and being a training camp arm and an ancillary contributor in the QB room. Good for them!

..and the answer is: the college system can barely grow the talent to sustain a 32 team league. 2/3rd's of NFL QB's are not worthy.

 

Imagine the disaster when Roger Goodell tries to expand the league even further.

I’ll say this for NP, dude never missed a postgame presser whilst others slunk away after an embarrassing loss…a stand up guy even if he never should’ve started over JA.

The NFL talent level will slowly become what we see in these failed leagues that pop up every year or two and disappear just as quickly. That’s what greed gets you,

That's like everything in life. Way it works... The ones getting it done are mostly ground up and spit out.

 

"...And there's winners and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man, baby
Pays the thrills, with bills, with pills that kill

Aw, but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America somethin' to see, baby
Ain't that America home of the free, yeah..."

Peterman — who opened the 2018 season as the #Bills’ starter ahead of Josh Allen

Looks like a solid headline for his resume. How could the Bears turn him down?

[skibum]

You have to tip your hat to the guy. I mean, he's probably made more money in his career than I ever will, he's not even 30, and he hasn't taken a real hit in years. He's still getting gigs despite whatever crap the social media dinks say about him. I love this guy!

 

He's the Ryan Fitzpatrick of 3rd-stringers.

I totally see your point and remember those days well.
 

That said, Peterman was never going to be a starter. Even though we were tricked by guys like JP, Trent, EJ or Tyrod, almost everybody knew that he wouldn’t be a starter.

 

He was so bad, that for once, not even us bills fans were tricked. 😜🤣

Hey getting paid millions to hold a clipboard is great work if you can get it.  Good on him I hope he finds "it" some day.
