Buffalo Bills – The Nathan Peterman era is over
After finally reaching the playoffs for the first time in 20 years, the Bills were due to regress after trading quarterback Tyrod Taylor and drafting developmental prospects at quarterback and linebacker. They brought in A.J. McCarron to go with seventh overall pick Josh Allen, but decided to trade him a week before the regular season as they chose Nathan Peterman as their starter under center. We all remember the mistake they made pulling Tyrod for him last year, as he threw five picks in just the first half versus the Chargers and he had an even worse performance in the season-opener. Peterman completed 5 of his 18 pass attempts for 24 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions and a QB rating of zero, while not picking up a single first down. The offensive line has been a mess as well and the pass-catcher haven’t really helped him out either, but I think the second-year man is only out there to take the hits until Josh Allen is ready to go.
Carolina Panthers – A running Cam Newton scares defenses
Outside of his MVP season Cam Newton averages a completion percentage of 59.4, 288 passing yards per game, 20.5 touchdowns a season and a quarterback rating of 83.2. Everybody who has been reading my blog for the last five years knows I’m not the biggest fan of the Panthers quarterback and for detail on why you can read more of my content or ask me directly. With that being said – boy, is that guy scary when he takes off. At 6’6”, 250 pounds Superman is as tough to bring down as anybody in the league and the Cowboys got to know that first hand once again on Sunday. Cam ran the ball 10 times for 58 yards and a touchdown, with all but one of those rushing attempts coming off zone-read plays or designed QB runs. The yardage total should even be six yards higher considering the Panthers ended the game by taking a knee three times for minus six yards. Cam is a beast as a runner and you always have to pay attention to him.
