Former Pitt quarterback Nathan Peterman has had some impressive outings with the Buffalo Bills this preseason, but it didn’t seem like that was going to get him very far.
The presence of incumbent starter Tyrod Taylor meant he had no shot at the No. 1 job, and T.J. Yates seemed to have the inside track on the second-string position early in the preseason because of his previous experience in offensive coordinator Rick Dennison’s system.
To Peterman’s credit, he appeared to overtake Yates for the No. 2 spot with his performance against the Minnesota Vikings on Aug. 10, and it seemed like that was going to be the peak of the preseason, if not the entire 2017 season, for him.
