Saints signed QB Nathan Peterman (2 Viewers)

[SAINTSLEGEND9]

Good non threatening pick up. I like it. Everyone let’s support our QB1 DC.

Plenty of spin to be had, when you failed to sign Flacco to a backup deal and settle for Peterman. Those two QB’s are pieces for two completely different offseason strategies.

Yep. W/ Flacco you’d still feel good about winning if Carr goes down. W/ Haener or Peterman you’re in trouble. I don’t know that you need to draft a QB early but you damn sure better bring another body in.

That room has been downgraded

I'd pick that Florida State QB with a wooden leg in the 5th if he's there. If he can be stashed on the PUP list or something, he could help eventually.

watch the video i posted

peterman is horrible and if he has to start we will go winless.

hes probably great at the communication side of QB2; but god help us if he actually ever starts / plays

Dude, we will be lucky to win 10 games if Carr starts all 17. And if Carr goes down there isn't a backup QB out there that is going to really stop the season from going in the tank. Maybe Flacco could have, but he's gone. Plus, you never know who shakes loose after final cuts if Haener blows in the preseason.

Even if you want a vet QB. You don't want a vet QB like Peterman.

On the 3rd day of free agency we're grabbing literally the worst QB available. A guy who would've been available on opening day as a free agent LOL.

This team cracks me up.

Read the tea leaves here…

Ehhhh... I see no real point of getting a QB to motivate another QB. So, this is a nothing burger for me personally. If you have to find one of the worst QB to ever play of the last 10 years to prop a guy to be #2 QB.

Maybe you should draft another QB

Even if you want a vet QB. You don't want a vet QB like Peterman.

I think they see little to no gap between Haener and a Wentz, Garoppolo or Tannehill as a Saints QB2. The latter are older journeymen swapping teams at this stage of their careers. They’re fetching big backup salaries because of their prime starting days years ago but can be worth vet minimum to a team who needs to spend wisely. They haven’t produced much during their recent playing time.

Peterman looks to be a better communicator of the playbook than physical performance. Thats what you’re looking for in a veteran backup QB when you already have an option on the team that was drafted last year. He has history with Carr and Janocko so communication looks to be valued more there. Big salary commitment isn’t needed for that. Backup QB isn’t where we were going to make a splash.

Lets support the TEAM!

I’m choosing to look at this signing as a vote of confidence for Jake Haener. Haha

Dude. I totally get it if the starting QB gets injured ANY team would be lucky to continue winning. Backup QB is a hot commodity in todays NFL. DUDE!

The point is Peterman was not a good pick; unless it is truly just to push Haener as cheaply as we can. If that was the choice, Bravo to the brain trust of saints FO.

Dude.

I hope this means they plan to take a young QB in the draft. Maybe even take one high in the draft.

 

[Tulsa Saint]

This is a camp arm signing to me. There’s no way peterman is beating out Haener/Taysom and potentially a draft pick.

 

[St. Geezy]

Welp…I expected a “marginal” type, but this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel of marginal. Oof.

Sorry that my use of dude bothered you. Next time I'll try Chief or possibly Hoss.

But, yeah, several reports said they just wanted a guy to push Haener to be the #2 QB. Yes, they should interest in Flacco which is inconsistent with that but we don't know how interested they were in Flacco and maybe they pivoted to Haener as the #2 when it became clear that Flacco was going elsewhere. In the end, I just find it hard to get worked up about who the #2 QB will be when I'm not even happy with our #1 QB.

Well, there’s going down for a series and there’s going down for half the season or more. And unfortunately you don’t know ahead of time which it might be. If QB1 goes down for a series or two, you don’t need a $5 million backup to come in. But if Carr goes down for several games, it gets ugly with who we currently have in the QB room.
