Saints signed QB Nathan Peterman (1 Viewer)

[meily]

What I don't get is that "camp arms" are guys you sign right before, well, camp. Undrafted FAs or guys like Peterman who can run scout team or just take some reps to give the other guys a break - they get signed in July or early August.

You don't sign a camp body in the first 2 days of FA, a month before the draft.

So I guess the "player/coach" angle makes the most sense.

Either way it's high comedy.

I have no idea if your for or against your argument.

He is the 3rd QB or lets say 2nd, either way only one QB starts and gets the majority of snaps for game day, the backup gets snaps in preparation for possibly playing on game day and the third guy runs the scout team to get everybody else on offense prepared (backup O-line and backup skill position groups) I never said anything about a camp arm, but people are upset with the signing like the guy was supposed to be the starter when he was signed for depth and to help push Haener in camp.

Playbook installations at OTAs and minicamp begin soon. It’s good to have an arm who’s versed with the system and can share expertise to the younger QB who’ll be the actual QB2

Right now it looks like the Saints feel comfortable with Haener and Hill as playable backup options at their salary rates. We don’t really need to crowd QB with multiple expensive salaries to have big names at backup QB on paper. Especially when they may have the same backup potential as our draft pick last year.

The missing link.

 

[St. Geezy]

I think you can get away with Hill finishing a game if you need him to, however if your starter is going to miss significant time, you’ll want an actual viable QB.

I don’t think we had plans of throwing out 4M+ guaranteed money just for a backup QB on the big names while we have a young QB on a mid round rookie salary. Peterman’s closer to vet minimum. This is reasonable cap responsibility. We could put that 4M towards a significant contributor at DL or OL who will see the field a lot.

No, but good Lord. We could have done better than that even at league minimum. Peterman is truly awful. It's like we didn't even want someone to even come close to competing with Haener, let alone Carr. Peterman is horrid. It's competition in name only. Not actual competition. That's what disgusts me about the move.

 

[PBsWhodat]

They saw the name and assumed it was a dumb signing because of Peterman memes and expecting a overpriced backup QB, not knowing signing Peterman is to help entrench Haener as the QB2 and using the cap wisely

Because we wanted a decent back up. Even if they are wanted to go cheap. They’re Vets that would get the same price as Peterman, but are better.

Intelligence is needed to help break down film and scheme in the QB room though. That seems to be the reason why Peterman keeps getting signed by teams across a 8 year career. Haener was drafted in 2023 with the intent to develop him into QB2 in 2024 and that day is here now.

Very possible that Carr, Haener and Hill are our QB depth chart when the season comes. They’re all we need to carry.

Nah, I figured something out. This is a move by , that will eliminate any threats to him or DC4. Nate will never be a threat to take DC4’s spot, nor will Nate be more beloved than DC4, by a wide number of fans, unlike Jameis. Nate will never undermine , unlike Jameis, like the last play of the season, and be considered a hero, and defended by his teammates. Nor will Nate ever be more beloved by fans, than him, unlike Jameis as well. isn’t fooling me, but if we have to start Nate for an extended period of time, then the joke will be on him.

I'll be honest; I don't want Peterman here because he's honest to God the worst QB in the entire NFL and frankly, I'd rather Alvin take snaps at QB in camp than waste a single rep on Peterman.

[Jesse Custer]

He threw 5 INTs in ONE HALF vs the Chargers.

I get all that but there are probably a hundred better options than Peterman. It sounds like hyperbole but I think he is literally the worst active QB in the NFL. Dead last. He's a meme.

I don't really have an "argument" other than I just think its hilarious this is our first week FA signing.

Yep, the "player/coach" model is the only thing that makes sense. He can certainly show them what not to do LOL

I didn't read all 9 pages but in case no one else said it.....................

Championship

 

[Snakehead]

The Carr hate is ridiculous. Many of the good/great QBs had that QB2 who was their guy and Carr and Peterman had 2 good seasons together with the Raiders. This signing makes a ton of sense.

Doesn't matter what fans don't like it. A backup QB isn't for the fans.

 

[showstopper]

How this guy is still in the NFL is mind boggling. That year he started in Buffalo was beyond terrible.
