Not being a smartass, sincerely asking NY, why do you like this guy so much? You've been touting him in multiple threads. For a guy who got beat out by Josh Dobbs, passed for what, 1 300 yard game against Clemson and the rest of his games were Meh at best. Is it because he had good practices at Senior bowl week? That might have been the weakest QBS I've seen in a while there, so it really wasn't hard to stand out with them. I dunno, for me I think his ceiling is as a backup
It's not that I like him so much, but it's the qualities he possess ( played under center, good footwork, accurate) are great building blocks for a WCO qb. He's also not gonna cost us a 1st or 2nd where we can grab more pro-ready players. Mitch is my #1 qb in the draft but he's a work in progress just the same.
I don't think we find the qb of the future in this draft and we will look at possibly trading for Jimmy G (within reason), hit up the draft hard next yr, or go after Kirk in FA in 2018.
Peterman is merely a qb worth developing that wouldn't cost us a premier draft pick and has a good foundation...I'll add Dobbs was looked at as a top qb prospect when he beat him out and provided that athletic ability on top of it, but like most Tenn qbs they all end up sucking there.
Pitt didn't throw the ball 50+ times a game so his stats weren't ridiculously high, but they ran a lot of bootlegs & play actions. he actually had progressions. If you look at his play and compare it to say Kirk Cousins in college they look pretty similar (Peterman might be a little more athletic). Damn near exact stats as well.
If all he turns out to be is a solid backup nothing wrong with that we didn't drop a top 34 pick on him anyway.
