Does Nate Peterman Start Week 1?

[BillsImpossible]

I think yes, because he earned it.

Throughout training camp and preseason, Peterman has been the best quarterback.

Even if Tyrod Taylor did not get injured, I think Peterman won the job hands down.

In the last preseason game against the Lions, Peterman was 9/11 for 81 yards.

It all boils down to which QB gives the Bills the best chance to win.

I think Peterman has demonstrated that he gives the Bills the best chance at winning.

Who do you want to start Week 1 against the Jets?

Only if TT is not cleared. I'd rather see Peterman though.

Nice touch with the elephant!

I'd say Taylor, though.


Peterman looked nice, and I'm glad he got the playing time.

But this has been a different preseason, what the the lack of the usual cut-down dates. He's faced players that before would have been axed.

It's a fine point, for sure. but it's there.

Even if Taylor is cleared, he didn't earn it. The starting job should be based on merit, not a contract number.

There has been an obvious difference between Taylor and Peterman throughout training camp and the preseason.

Peterman is the better quarterback.

We've all been watching football for thousands of years combined....

When is the last time you saw a rookie QB for the Buffalo Bills accomplish what Peterman has already put on tape?

That is the only thing that gets me excited for the 2017 season.

Bills fans Nation wide can care less about anything else.

[Skooby]

Peterman starts if they want to win.

WHY? For what reasonable reasons?

What are you smoking?

[BillsImpossible]

I can not believe how many people in the media are saying they think Tyrod Taylor will start next week. That's crazy.

I don't know how or why the NFL and the media that drives the league can advocate starting an NFL QB on September 10th, only two weeks after suffering a concussion.

Given the present day situation about concussions in the NFL, fans would think that the media would highlight the issue...but they don't.

So what PR firm did the NFL pay to keep this issue on the down low?

I still think it's TT. Didn't get a chance to watch the game today, but per the NFL.com article, it didn't seem like he was playing against Detroit's starters.
Maybe we're watching different games, or maybe Im just too critical, but I'm not really sure how you can say he 'earned it'.

Now if he took that Baltimore game, then I think there's a debate... but he was pretty crappy that game as well. He had a few good series against backups in the first game, didn't look all that great in the 2nd (again, against backups), and the Baltimore game was just ugly. He was good today (stat wise), but how exactly has he earned it?

We've had some above average offenses the past few years, and while TT isn't an elite QB, I don't see anything with Peterman right now that tells me we would score more points. We're a run first team with limited WR talent. Replacing TT would be an instant downgrade to our run game, and we'd have to rely on Peterman to move the ball downfield with his arm?

Way too early to anoint Peterman as the second coming of Jimbo.

[BillsImpossible]

Tyrod Taylor had his head smashed in to the turf at what speed?

I would approximate about 10-15 mph.

Would you allow Tyrod Taylor to drive a forklift less than 10 days from now?

Oh God forbid...

[HHURRICANE]

Not lying, but Peterman is more entertaining.

I would be happy to give you reasonable reasons. I believe I already did, but you chose not to address them.

Your snide statement, "What are you smoking? is uncalled for. Don't use the verbiage your opponents use on other sections of this site - which you correctly rail against.

No chance.

If Tyrod isn't out of "Concussion Protocol" by Monday, Peterman is declared starter. I think Peterman is McD's and Dennison's guy and their looking for their excuse to start him.

Now the interesting thing is if Peterman starts and the Bills win Week 1 and Tyrod is cleared to play, what happens Week 2?

It's a win-win scenario if Taylor is not cleared for week 1. Either Peterman shows he can win a game as a starter (and possibly warrants "the hot hand"), or he loses and we can roll with our QB1 next week.

What I expect will happen is Taylor plays, plays mediocrely, and we win an ugly toilet bowl game 16-13.

Superbowl!!!

Didn't Marv Levy say "starters don't lose their jobs to injuries?"

Drew Bledsoe did, so did Trent Green and......

Marv had a HOF QB. I remember the dummies that screamed for Reich every time Kelly threw an INT.

We have a mediocre QB now. If Peterman takes advantage of Tyrods injury and has a big game against the Jets I think he has to stay the starter.
