All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Nathan Peterman: Rising Star + Highlights Vs. Detroit Lions Final Preseason Game
Re: Nathan Peterman: Rising Star + Highlights Vs. Detroit Lions Final Preseason Game
Okay, so I just watched both videos. The first one I watched twice. I admit that Peterman looks good. Not Joe Montana good or anything. But he does look like a real QB, at least in the highlights.

The camera angles were key...they aren't the standard highlight footage as scene in the Detroit highlights.
Great view from behind center. Don't take that literally.

We've been trying to tell everyone, Nathan is good.
I want a franchise QB. Don't want to settle for a Kirk Cousins type of QB , which is what i read and heard what Nathan could be like.
How well would Peterman have to play for us not to use any of our 1st on a QB next year?
I'd take Kirk Cousins in a second. The guy threw foir nearly 5000 yards last year with an average run game and average receivers. Elite TE but average receivers.
Lots of short passes. Reminds me of Kelly Holcomb.
Tyrod throws more deep passes. Too bad we can't combine these 2 into a Super QB
The short stuff is what pre-season games are about for rookie qbs.
The long patterns are often about WR separation, WR speed. OL protection, and duration of that protection. add in the Qb's nifty feet if he has them.
You specifically work the short and medium stuff. It's just not a reaction to the defense's pass rush. You want your rookie to scan and react fast to what's the best opportunity to move the sticks.
You are trying to determine if this player can be on your team. Can he get the team down the field.

It's not just about whether a pass is short or long. It's also about whether a pass is to a target who's stationary, who's moving vertically, or (the most difficult type) whether he's moving horizontally.
Joe Montana threw plenty of short passes to targets moving horizontally. And he'd hit them in perfect stride. That's a very difficult thing to do, even for a typical NFL quarterback. Which is why most NFL quarterbacks are not Joe Montana.
Peterman isn't Joe Montana either, at least not from anything I've seen thus far. But he did do a better job than I was expecting, at hitting moving targets. Including some targets moving horizontally. In some of the plays it looked like the moving targets didn't have to slow down to catch his passes. (Which is very, very good!) Other plays it did seem like the targets had to slow down. And of course you have the fact that the first video is a highlight video, so they're going to focus on his better plays. Overall, I'm pleased with the progress Peterman is making, and hopeful he'll continue making good strides.
