Peterman could be either the next Fitz, Brees or Jeff Tuel.

I remember in 2007, reports out of training camp indicated Trent Edwards was the Bills best QB. That ended up being similar to being the least foul smelling piece of the garbage in a dumpster.
Yes and history repeats itself everytime, not.
Where you're concerned? Yeah. It does.
The Bills best QB...from among he, JP, and Gibran Hamden. That truly isn't saying much.

I don't think he wants his porn handle advertised amongst his football followers.
I hope he did NOT use that name for his porn life after NFL Football.
I trademarked/copyrighted that nickname I gave him.
I may be due royalties.
He saved the money. It's in a lock box at the base of Albion Falls. Don't disobey those new signs though.
http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/...-appears-grabsThe bad news, from what I saw in OTAs and minicamp, he is as limited in his throws as many thought he was coming out of college. He looked very comfortable in a huddle, at the line of scrimmage, and when he knew where he wanted to go with his passes. But when he had to make a decisive throw, several times it wasn't strong enough or there quick enough. He will get stronger, and he'll learn some nuances to help in those areas. But, that's going to take a little time.
But is he as good as Chad Kelly or anyone in next years draft? Doubtful.

Listening to Sal Capaccio on WGR this morning I heard him say how Peterman struggles making the kind of big throws it takes to be an NFL quarterback.
Peterman lacks velocity, or "zip," on his throws. His arm strength is the biggest reason why he fell to the 5th round of the NFL Draft.
If he can't hit the big throws, NFL defenses will scheme around that, limit his passing abilities and toss him off as just another young QB in the NFL that doesn't have what it takes to win.
Arm strength is overrated in my opinion. Decision making is underrated.
I'd rather have a big brain than a big arm.
Seems to me like the quarterbacks in the NFL that are the most successful are the most mentally gifted.
Their physical attributes are secondary to the mental aspect of the game.

Sal always wants the biggest boy on the field, which has done us no good.
You can improve arm strength to a degree. Of course, it will likely take HGH. Hell, just look at Brady.
I also value decision-making and accuracy much more than I value arm strength. Joe Montana lasted until the third round, in large part due to questions about his arm strength.
Unfortunately, a QB's accuracy and/or decision making are sometimes over-hyped. That's why I've placed increasing reliance on what I see on film, as opposed to what others have written about a QB. Based on the (admittedly small) sample of Peterman's film I've seen, I think his accuracy and decision-making are okay, not great. If he becomes a reliable backup, and if he spends his career in Buffalo, I'll consider this draft pick a big win for the Bills. That scenario represents the upper limit of what I'm willing to hope for from this pick.
I realize that if Peterman is not the answer, that still leaves the Bills searching for a long-term answer at QB. What I'm really hoping for is for them to take an elite QB very early in next year's draft. I'm much, much more concerned about them taking the right guy, than I am about whatever price they pay to get him. Trade away our own first round pick, KC's first round pick, and our first round pick in the following year's draft if needed. Just get the right guy.

Give it up already.

—On rookie QB Nathan Peterman - on multiple occasions this week I saw him make throws that were nearly picked off because he either didn’t anticipate fast enough or didn’t have the velocity to get it there. On Thursday, he threw an out pattern from the far left hashmarks to the right sideline. The ball got there too late because he didn’t have enough velocity. Joe Powell had a good chance to intercept it, but it went off his fingertips. But he had plenty of time to jump the route in front of the intended receiver. On Wednesday, Peterman didn’t throw a curl route soon enough. It was after the receiver had already turned, and the DB on the play easily got his hands on it to knock it down after coming from behind the wide out. With all that said, Peterman did do some nice things. Thursday, he escaped the pocket one play when the rush came too quick, scrambled right, and hit Nick O’Leary on the sideline as he was going out of bounds. He got both feet in. Peterman seems very comfortable in the huddle, running the offense, and in the pocket. When he knows where he wants to go with the ball right away, he gets it there with no problem, and it’s usually the right read. But when things are going fast and he has to anticipate or make a longer throw, the very shortcomings written about him coming out of college show up. Defensive backs and defenses as a whole aren’t going to get slower for him. So he needs to get faster and throw with some more zip once training camp comes around.
