Speaking of “vindicated”, you started a thread about his first start and declared him a “proven NFL starter” BEFORE the game that made Nathan Peterman a verb indicating an epic failure in your first opportunity.

Butchna. I made no such claim. Try honesty. I have no idea if Peterman will succeed, nor have I declared him a "proven NFL starter"(absurd). I realize you are among the invested haters proven wrong around here, but lying about me doesn't help vindicate you. The kid not only succeeded in Div 1 college despite your misjudgment, he made it to the NFL. Now he earned an NFL start due to a very solid pre-season performance. I'm sure you'll be hoping for some level of vindication. You can hope he gets ravaged by the Ravens. May well happen. Much like UT a few years back, the Bills have no O-line and Ravens have a great D.

Lots of Peterman haters refusing to eat their crow. The alleged 'incompetent', 'dumb', 'mentally unfit', 'deer in the headlights' Nate Peterman proved to be the poised, competent NFL starter Nate Peterman in his rookie season.

What say you KB, SJT, Butchna? What's the excuse for trashing young Nathan Peterman while a player at UT?

Yep, you twisted my words. I never claimed Peterman was a "proven NFL starter." A "proven NFL starter" would require many starts and significant experience to be a proven starter. Peterman proved to be poised and competent enough to be an NFL starter.
But hey, I understand. You need a red herring to distract from the main theme. Of course, like KB, and some others, you're invested in the false narrative that Peterman was a no-talent, mentally incompetent, deer-in-the headlights boob that shouldn't 'sniff the field' (KBVol). Yet, in fact that 'dumb' ole Peterman graduated in three years, transferred to earn his Masters, and succeeded as a Div 1 QB, got drafted by the NFL. Now, he's earned a starting role. Imagine that? I guess you can still hope he gets slaughtered by the Ravens.

I quoted what YOU posted. 😎 Thanks for the permission but I’m not an advocate for either Peterman’s success or failure...you took on that weird burden a long time ago. You do a lot of calling out Vol fans for a guy that had success outside UT but none at the institution this fan board revolves around. Don’t see you ever being happy if your goal is to convince us that he succeeded in Knoxville...which is the majority’s concern on this forum.

You miss the point. The point is that those who 'considered' Peterman terrible based upon very little playing time have been proven dead wrong -again. Earned NFL starting position despite what so many 'considered' about him. Now, the invested Peterman haters can root for that nasty Ravens defense to devour him. You know, to feel vindicated. :rolleyes:

Why do you think what happens in college has anything to do with the NFL? The fact is, Peterman was terrible at Tennessee. It doesnt matter if he wins 10 super bowls and 10 MVPs. His success in the NFL can never change that fact.

Why is that so difficult for you to accept?

LOL. All these dishonest butt-hurt haters proven wrong, but can't admit it. An NFL starter is incapable of being an SEC QB?? KBVol, Butchna, were dead wrong. AP was right. AP was crucified for telling the truth. LOL.

He’s a NFL starter much in the same vein as Matt Simms was an NFL starter at this point. He is in the right place at the right time. Peterman is a smart, dedicated guy who I always liked, but he wasn’t going to carry us like Dobbs did, and he wasn’t yet ready to be a game manager like Worley. In Buffalo, it’s not like he came in and took command of the team ala Brady from Bledsoe. They literally don’t have anyone else. I’m pulling for him, but it ain’t looking to good so far.

He stunk against Bama his sophomore year too and we yanked Dobbs redshirt after 3 series. He also blew it against UGA that year when Worley went down.

Nate is a good guy, but like I said above, he’s like Matt Simms. He somehow found a way to start a game or two in the NFL because there wasn’t anyone else capable on the roster. I’d love for him to develop into a solid NFL QB, but I don’t think it’s likely.

...and He just unearned it. He will probably never start another game again. Sample size so far is a 5 pick first half and a sweet 0.0 QB rating in two games.

Nathan Peterman is proof of why preseason and practice don't always translate to the real games.

These dumb coaches need to stop putting so much stock in those situation which are nothing like the real games. Peterman has proven time and time again that he's not a starting caliber NFL QB in real game situations.

He wasn’t good at Pitt. I don’t know how he was thought of highly enough to be drafted. One three hundred yard game in his career. Of course he was going to be terrible.

And now Josh Allen is going to start

In 3 NFL starts, Peterman has been benched in 2, suffered a concussion in the 3rd. 1 TD, 7 INTs
