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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Has ANYTHING in his pre-season performances or training camp observations made you feel he isn't "the guy" ???? Did Rob Johnson, J.P. Losman, Fitz, Kyle, Tyrod and more over the past seasons make you more comfortable?
Well let's see- Jeff Tuel had an equally impressive preseason outing. Peterman did it mostly against scrubs. He did it against simplified D's that weren't running blitzes. And to be honest, he wasn't all that great. Better than Tyrod and Yates, yes, but that doesn't make him "the guy."
To me he displayed decent progress, jury is still out and should be.
Kid seems to learn and strive. You'll end up seeing him anyway, won't make a diff in a playoff run that's not going to happen. I'm fine with the way this is going, which is, him starting the season as backup.
Not to me really. Edwards had a built in trigger guard that made him hesitate (even before the concussion) and didn't really react to the field, that I don't see in Peterman at this point.
I think the thing that encourages me about Peterman (though it doesn't make him The One yet), is that he seems to see the plays, not the tangle of players trying to run them, while our previous "prospects" overloaded at the snap by the players running the plays, if that makes sense.
I suppose I mean Peterman knows enough to look at what he's supposed to even if he's not completely adapted to pace.
He's doing fine, let him keep doing fine until it all clicks at his pace, which seems to be a decent one.

It doesn't make him not the guy, he's like a more pocket passing Drew Brees.

Wrong. He played against the Ravens' starters in game 3 (the "dress rehearsal" for the season) after Tyrod exited midway through the 1st quarter. He didn't lock onto his primary receiver, went through his progressions (when he had more than a second), made the correct read generally, and threw good passes (his receivers dropped 4 of them). He had a near-INT on a dumb throwaway attempt, fumbled when scrambling (but recovered it) when he was running for his life and 4 passes batted down, so it wasn't all great, but he can learn from those things.
Consistent accuracy, reads under pressure, adaptation to pace, dynamic timing, long ball potential, chemistry with anyone besides O'Leary. That's too much for me to assume anything yet.

and if it's the dress rehearsal, what makes you think he won't be running for his life and get a bunch of passes batted down again? I was at that game and yes, he looked better than Tyrod before Tyrod got hurt, but he didn't look as great as you're making it sound. And btw, I was surrounded by Ravens fans- including the friend I went with- and it was a mix of starters and backups.

He might be running for his life; that's on the O-line. As for passes better down, again it's something he can learn from and it typically isn't something that quarterbacks suffer a lot from. Even with those, he should've completed 64% of his passes if not for the drops. Again this is a rookie who wasn't even supposed to play until midway through the third quarter. And it was starters with backups who figure to rotate in. Sure he's got a lot to learn. But I'd rather see him out there than Tyrod.

Get this kid behind center and quit the BS!
LOL. 54% completion percentage against back-ups for $100 Alex?

You have to be very careful pimping a QB by saying "he should've completed 64%of his passes if not for drops," because you could use that excuse for ANY QB. Drops are part of the game. Peterman not quite as good or ready as some people seem to think. He needs some seasoning at the very least.
