The next thing he goes on about? Trick shot videos. He likes doing trick shots.
Alex Tanney (remember him?) actually looked impressive in those trick shots. And he was a nifty little gimmick we had to care about in the midst of a hopeless cause. This dude isn't doing anything all that impressive that most QBs couldn't pull off with a couple of takes, AND he would cost a 2nd round ****ing pick.
I think I hate this asshole. Legitimately. Irrationally, yes. But I think I hate him. I haven't hated a QB coming out of the draft like this since Brock Osweiler.

Right there with you.
I've come to loathe Nate Peterman and everything he represents. He is mediocrity personified. He's worshiping at the altar of a raised floor.
He's the friend that you bring out on a double when you think you might actually like the girl you're bringing for yourself.
He's the basketball coach that gets hired at a football school.
He's just this forgettable blob that you hope fades into the background that people are vaguely comfortable with but ultimately don't really think about at all.
I'd rather take Joe Mixon in the second, Gareon Conley in the 3rd and Caleb Brantley in the 4th. Then sign Johnny Manziel as a free agent.
It's not just Peterman; as far as non-descript, ultimately irrelevant career backups with marginal upside who could lead bad teams to 6 win seasons go, you could do worse. Hell, he may even make himself into a poor man's Brian Hoyer some day.
But drafting Peterman is like hiring Kim Anderson - it's an open acknowledgement that you just don't give a ****.
