I didn't want to see a qb. Not a fan of the pick.

Peterman:
Strengths
Smooth, quick set-up in pocket. Grips the ball with big, 10-inch hands. Poised in pocket and takes the hit to deliver a completion. Will set-up, slide and then re-set before making his throw. Can cut it loose from off-balance angles from bootleg or play-action if he sees a winning option break open early. Full field reader. Works all the way through his progressions. Shoots glances at safeties to keep them in check. Strong natural accuracy. Able to throw receivers open and lead them away from danger. Can pinpoint passes to moving targets in his intermediate work. Has enough arm to work field side, intermediate throws. Great vision. Sees passing windows before they develop. Throws with outstanding timing and anticipation. Can put the ball on receivers' hands as soon as they come out of a break if coverage dictates it. Utilizes accuracy and anticipation to challenge windows on all three levels. Won at Clemson hanging five touchdown passes on their talented stop unit. Good escapability and can extend drives with his legs. Excellent deep ball accuracy completing 46.2 percent of his deep throws.
Weaknesses
Inconsistent delivery base causes some throws to sail. Has instances where he short strides and is forced to muscle it to his target. Will float some throws on seams and dig routes. Will have to be mindful to drive the ball on pro level to avoid the ballhawks who are lurking at safety. Has to prove he has enough arm to challenge the same tight windows he did in college. Ball handling a little sluggish in wide receiver screens, hitches and most RPOs (run, pass option). Wants to play hero-ball at times. Needs to learn when to air-mail throw and move to next play rather than trying to get too cute with sideline throws. Can improve overall touch.
Draft Projection Round 3-4
Sources Tell Us "I like him. He made me a believer when I watched him against Clemson. I do want to see him throw live and get a feel for how the ball comes out. I never saw him in person and you can't get a feel for that stuff on tape." - NFC Director of Personnel

Bottom Line
Peterman's experience in a pro-style passing attack gives him a head start headed into the league. His physical attributes are just average, but his accuracy, composure and anticipation are what sets him apart from some of the more physically gifted quarterbacks in this year's draft. Peterman's tape is sure to catch the eye of at least a few teams in need of a quarterback and he should come off the board by day two with a chance to become a solid starting quarterback in the future.

peterman has the most upside of any qb on the bills roster officially
the other guys all suck
go peterman by default
id still draft/sign kelly and redshirt him
McShay likes him a lot. Said most pro ready of any QB in the draft.
Also said HE BEAT Clemson 5 TDS. Showed Clutch gene.
I guess I just don't know anything about him.
He's a day 1 back up, and I don't mean that in a bad way.
Chad Kelly just went ballistic, I'd imagine.
If McDermott isn't lying about everything he's said about character, then I don't think Chad Kelly ever had a chance of being a Bill.
Interesting to see who the odd man out at QB will be if Cardale looks to have improved and Peterman looks good in TC.
TJ Yates is still TJ Yates and we know what we have with him. The Bills signed him for 1 year at 800k so if they cut him it won't kill the cap. If the young guys come in and look good, they might just let Yates walk.
I'd rather have Kelly, but what the hell I'll root for the kid to succeed.

I didn't realize Yates got such a minimal deal. I assumed it was at least a couple million with guaranteed money, and that he was basically a lock to be the primary vet backup. I hope he's the odd man out. I'd much rather keep Jones and Peterman, and see how both develop.
He played in an offense most like the Bills had last year. Lots and lots of running, he'd pass more on occasion than regularly. But they also had one of the best offenses in the country last year.
Lots of snaps under center. Ball comes out quickly. I know that sounds a lot like Trent Edwards, but he's not afraid to throw it deep.
I like that he beat both Clemson and Penn St. last year.
But I'm pretty lukewarm on him.
Could be, idk. My wife brought up a good point...she wondered if the Bills approached Jim Kelly and asked, what, if anything they did to...rein his attitude in?
If he threw up his hands and said, "We tried"...you now have your answer.
He'll latch on with someone. He can use it as a learning experience..that being a DB can have repurcussions.
If not, its a lot of talent going to waste.
He'll catch on with the Jets and have them in the play-offs in 2020, while the Bills are still languishing around the Mendoza line.
All I can say is that I'm glad the Bills brought a QB in...hope they keep doing that until they have their man
