TT's Injury Provides the Bills with the Opportunity to Start Perterman

Use TT's injury as an excuse and simply start Peterman.

Yates is just a waste of time.

NYJ would absolutely love to see him start come the opener.

I fully agree, TT found a way out while still getting paid. Time for a trade.

When Peterman replaced Taylor tonight, I saw an improvement in QB play.

Taylor holds on to the ball too long, Peterman throws it.

Concussions are different for every player.

That tackle on Tyrod Taylor made him fall back in a way that made his helmet bounce off the turf.



He held on to the ball too long, ducked, and got slammed backwards.

Peterman could very well be the starter in Week 1.

Remember Kevin Kolb?

I guess, hopes or not, it all looks feeble to me, so I'm looking down the road again, better or worse.

That hit on Tyrod Taylor tonight could have fast forwarded the eventual outcome.

I don't think Taylor can recover from a blow to his head like that in only 14 days.

Spiked is right, this injury to Taylor provides the Bills with every reason to start Peterman.

I think the rookie starts Week 1 against the Jets.

Peterman was not great, but was clearly the best QB on the roster last night.

Personally I wouldn't mind the switch...Peterman's floor is about = to Taylor's ceiling right now, so why not.

However, as far as the rest of the players and the dynamics of team-building I think TT has to prove once and for all that he's not the guy moving forward, and Nate might be. Taylor needs to play until the guys around him start getting convinced the change needs to be made and that change has be based on performance not a minor injury being used as an excuse.

Without a doubt.

And the pre-season. I can't help thinking of Frank Reich when watching him. He can do enough to win a game or two. But, a season? I don't see anything real spectacular in him. I hope the Bills are still targeting their start in next years draft.

When did Peterman morph into Flutie with all the batted down balls ?

What's a "near int." ? If you 're gonna count "near int's" why not count near receptions, or count the drops, or receptions that were called back because of penalties ?
Peterman has been far from perfect, but he is attempting/making throws that we have not seen enough of in the past couple of years. He is also a rookie seeing his 3rd partial game of NFL action.
If you look at stats, Peterman is right in line with other rookies, 1st round pick Deshaun Watson and 2nd round pick Deshone Kizer, all have very similar stats.
Bottom line is Peterman looks like he has a grasp of this offense and has been able to move it at times, while the incumbent has looked like he is clueless out there and has not once this preseason shown anything to prove that he is capable of running this offense.

I doubt they are worried about facing TT either.
