    Prediction: Nathan Peterman will be starting this year...

    The Bills seem to have gone out of their way to distance themselves from Tyrod. I also believe that our new OC isn't that impressed with Tyrod in his new scheme.

    Peterman is a coach's player. He'll do what you ask of him. I think Tyrod is on a short leash and the coaching staff isn't under any threat to "win now" based on the front office clean out.

    I think you'll see Peterman on the field this year.

    I hope so, watching TT fail at the goal line is frustrating.

    I don't see any clear cut indication where this story by ESPN has any merit.

    And why are they in win now mode? That makes no sense. If anything, they are in lose-now mode.

    The Bills were 7th in the NFL last year in Red Zone efficiency.

    https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...ate=2017-02-06

    Outside of one year with Fitz in 2011, they ranked in the 20's or lower for the past 15 years.

    TT had the 7th highest passer rating in the Red zone last year.

    https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/s...red-zone/2016/

    Again..outside of Fitz one year, they haven't had a QB close to that.

    Be careful what you wish for.

    The new coaching staff would be foolish to not build the offense around Tyrod's and Shady's strengths. Our offense has been good enough the last two years to make the playoffs but then our top 5 defense got Rex'd.

    Eh, passer rating isn't necessarily the best indicator. I prefer to know the actual individual passing statistics.

    Redzone attempts - 25th (we obviously didn't throw very often, and when we tried Tyrod probably took off running or got sacked like the final drive of the Seattle game)
    Redzone completion percentage (at least 5 attempts) - 21st
    Passing TDs - 24th

    From inside the 10 yard line, he ranked 31st in completion percentage of QBs with at least 5 attempts. 31st...that's pretty bad.

    Where he excelled is that he took care of the ball. He had 0 interceptions in the redzone last year, which is great and it's why is passer rating was ranked so high.

    I'm not a Tyrod fan, but I won't fault his redzone play very much. I wouldn't say he's top 10, though.

    I wrote from the goal line, not the red zone. Tyrod is worthless when's it goal to goal. That's where we lost against Seattle and fail to perform, it's where you make many of your points and win as well. See statement below to help you follow it:


    From inside the 10 yard line, Tyrod ranked 31st in completion percentage of QBs with at least 5 attempts.

    Peterman has the touch to be great there, he's deadly accurate on quick short throws. Polar opposite of Tyrod.

    Re: Prediction: Nathan Peterman will be starting this year...

    Peterman does not see the field this year barring injury of TT. The #1 job is not open this year. The #2 job is. And it's in Peterman's interest not to play. The job of NFL QB is really hard. Peterman is not physically gifted so he's going to need to learn the pro game, develop in practice, get stronger and maybe next year he gets a shot and he'll need to ready, he won't be ready this year. Mac is like every single coach in the league, he wants to win games. I'm no Taylor fan but TT gives him the best chance to do that this year so he will most definitely play. Feel free to bookmark this thread.

    The Trent just before that Miami game in Miami, I was there on the field talking to everyone and thought we might be the s**t. Hopes were high that day, I even got congratulations in the parking lot for the Bills from Miami fans before the game. We stunk it up that day and every minute after that with Trent.

    You seem to know an awful lot about these two QBs.

    But it's funny how our new OC has coached Taylor before. And Peterman was terrible in the Senior Bowl. He's not good. And where you get that he's more of a "coaches QB" is pure bull*****. Stop having QB wet dreams then posting about them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Furthermore, Yates is a better QB than Peterman. So there's that fact. That shows the Bills have gone out of there way NOT to have Peterman in there. I'm sure you loved Edwards and Losman too.
