Vic Carucci: Peterman is the best QB of the 3

[Skooby]

*Quarterback: Nathan Peterman. First, it should be noted that none of the three players here was exceptional by any stretch. Each had his highly impressive moments, but each also had his share of ugly plays. Not once did I find myself saying, "Wow! This guy is special." I'm going with the rookie, though, because he was more consistent in delivering good and sometimes even great throws. Granted, Peterman spent most of camp doing taking third-team reps against bottom-of-the-roster defenders, but he looked more mechanically sound than Tyrod Taylor or T.J. Yates. His promotion to the No. 2 spot was a no-brainer, especially with Yates' mostly mediocre to poor showings. Let's see what Peterman does from here.

Super bowl baby!

There are 3 more preseason games to see what this kid has this early in his career. If he plays well, I'm all for starting him IF Tyrod doesn't show improvement.

Let's see what Carucci says on Friday morning.

Memories of 2007 when rookie Trent Edwards was outplaying JP Losman & Craig Nall in camp. Change the names to Peterman, Taylor & Yates. Same @#$%, different day.

Except none of those quarterbacks have the mentoring ability of TJ Yates, so maybe we're ahead of the game.

I see your point, but I'm more optimistic than you are.

Peterman has at least the potential to be a solid backup. If he succeeds in achieving that, he'll have a better career than Edwards, Losman, or Nall. Once those three became known commodities, none were able to secure roster spots.

Secondly, the apparent plan is to get our starting QB in this upcoming draft. The consensus seems to be that the upcoming draft is better for QBs than the draft which just occurred.

Bottom line: I'm not writing off McDermott or Beane just yet. Or Peterman, for that matter. All three are too new--too unknown--for us to legitimately do that. And at least thus far, Beane's/McDermott's approach to roster building seems to have made basic sense. There have been no head-scratchers thus far, no Donte Whitner 8th overall type moves. Let's at least wait and see.

We're all Bills fans.

Who hasn't waved goodbye to hype like this by now?

I like the Peterman pick, but just Carucci saying that he might look better than the other QBs while playing with and against the backups does not exactly have me turning backflips.

I'll root for him.

I hear Yates knows the offense inside and out, better than some of the coaches, STUD TUTOR.

Re: Vic Carucci: Peterman is the best QB of the 3

Rookie QB's can only look bad in the preseason, not good. Until they see a real NFL defense and play against a real game plan at full speed, there's no telling how they will react. You can't make Peterson a starter based on pre season performance.

Damn, I would hope not after 14 days of camp and 1 preseason game!

Unless TT completely flops, he's the backup.

Created hype is just that.

I'll root for him as I did with JP, Trent, EJ , Tuel and every failed qb we drafted. How can a fan not wish his qb to succeed? I hope even TT becomes the qb we are hoping for.

he should say we have no qbs and i am openly hoping for a 3 win season so we can get a top QB in the 2018 draft
