20 people here could do better than Yates.

I like Peterman and glad he'll get more snaps in pre-season. Bills need to ID another QB vet after final cuts and get rid of Yates.

Excellent!!!

I know it is such a longshot but I would love to see Peterman being the starting QB on Opening Day.

I think Peterman picked the right number for his jersey...

Because he is clutch like Steve Christie, or because he's poo?

Re: Peterman moves up to #2 QB on the depth chart today

Look I am not going to suck the coq of any rookie QB who comes suddenly along however I just want to NOT once again go into the next season uncertain of whether or NOT we already have a NFL Starting QB on the roster.

I know TT is NOT the answer.

That other dude is a piece of crap.

Let's start Peterman and if he fails, we are 3-13 and draft our Franchise QB in 2018 very highly.

If Peterman succeeds, we don't need to draft a QB highly in 2018 and with all those draft picks, we rule the draft (Patriots style) and build a great team long-term.

WIN - WIN

If Peterman starts, we will win. The dude is the real deal and needs time with the firsts, so let's hope he gets his time in.

Peterman is not going to start until the Bills are out of the playoffs. They have too much invested in Tyrod in terms of salary and practice time.

I'm not ready to buy the optimism.

He was doing mop-up duty in the 1st PS game against wanna-be's.

I didn't like his scooting - 4 runs. Why? You are there to be evaluated, to scramble behind the LOS, to pass, or get tackled.

He reverted to his collegiate MO, trying to make plays with his legs.

I like the kid, but the coaches have to tell him to stay put, if not, you don't learn about ducking pressure, spotting seams, line play, receivers coming back to help, etc.

Don't get me wrong - I like him.

The runs were fine unless you think that he left the pocket too early. With the blitzes the Vikings were throwing at him, I wouldn't say he did.

I think starting him too early could hamper him more than letting him sit until they are ready to invest in him 100%. A rookie starting with the previous starter waiting to get back in could leave him afraid to make a mistake and have him play tentative. If the decision is final on Taylor not being the answer, then let Peterman take over.

JP Losman had his shortcomings, but I think the way they handled him (2005) with the threat of Kelly Holcomb coming in at any time messed him up. The next year when Jauron took over for Malarkey, Losman played a full season and didn't do that bad. I think a QB (especially a young one) needs to know the job is his, even if he makes a few mistakes and he isn't going to be yanked at the drop of a hat.

Fair enough.

But what we are seeing these days, is the effect of the CBA. The training camp is so weak, the reps are so few,time to instruct is so limited.

We now have opposing players tossed against each other to try to gain the pro game skills.

IMO, in a way, today's pre-season games are what used to be called training camp.

It's sad that only Mike Brown and Ralph Wilson voted against that CBA. Both knew da*n well that the NFLPA wanted to change from a union receptive of new membership, to a guild bent on restricting same, to insure the "haves" cashed in big time.
