It comes the same day coach Sean McDermott said he was "still confident" in Peterman. The 171st pick in last year's draft, Peterman was dubbed a sleeper pick at the time but went on to be anything but competent in his brief time in Buffalo. The 24-year-old made eight appearances in 1.5 seasons with the Bills, starting four games, going 1-3 with a historically-bad 3:12 TD:INT mark, throwing an interception on 9.2% of his passes. It's pretty telling that longtime borderline NFLer Matt Barkley joined the Bills less than two weeks ago and immediately looked like a Hall of Famer compared to Peterman. We'd bet he eventually gets another shot and a much needed change of scenery. He'll never develop into a starter with long odds of becoming even a No. 2.

Pretty harsh.

I don't follow this stuff so I don't know how bad he was but it must be pretty devastating to eviscerated publicly.

Regardless of how bad he may have been I feel bad for him.

I hope he finds his true calling.

His last start was maybe his best, and there were still 3 interceptions (2 were the fault of the receivers, though). He could still end up on the practice squad, but I doubt they'll keep him around.

The 171st pick in last year's draft, Peterman was dubbed a sleeper pick at the time....

A sleeper pick who never woke up. Not like Ryan Leaf or many other high picks who flamed out. As the 171st pick a team is not taking a big risk.

Drafting is a very inexact science. One never knows how any of these guys are going to work out. So many can't-miss prospects are gone within a couple of years whereas late rounders grow into HoFers (see Tom Brady).

Good luck to Nathan Peterman.
