I can see where Peter could be considered a head case. He certainly loves to draw attention to himself. Me not We'ish..
His play on the field is important too, , and that has been pretty good (bomb Sunday for a TD not withstanding) .. I'm all about fielding a dominant team which Peters can help achieve. So as long as he doesn't become a distraction (which we should know by the end of the year) I'd lock him up. (not jail)

Or as they'd say in a Trump rally..."lock him up, lock him up..."

A lot of this came from Bruce Arian's book which now, is pretty much, obvioulsy, laughably wrong considering all the spread and air/raid QBs dominating the NFL at at young ages:

“[T]hat damn sure ain’t what playing quarterback is all about,” Arians writes in his new book, The Quarterback Whisperer. “The most important trait needed to become a QB is leadership. But there is no leadership required of the quarterback in [the college] version of the spread. He doesn’t talk to his teammates in the huddle, he doesn’t change the snap count — hell, he barely even reads the defense. The college spread quarterback doesn’t learn the mental and physical skills needed to execute the intricacies of the NFL game. That puts the college spread QBs who aspire to play and succeed in the NFL at a distinct disadvantage.”

Arians adds that any NFL team drafting a spread quarterback “can expect him to fail early in his career,” which means he’ll need the mental toughness to deal with failure. “Most rookie quarterbacks are going to suck anyway . . . but he’ll really be at a disadvantage if he’s coming from a spread team and has no idea of the pro concepts.”

I seen where someone was complaining that Peters was yelling at Joyner during the game. Joyner was late on several plays and needed to be yelled at.

And he worked with Roethlisberger who was 13-0 in reg season as a rookie....

The one thing I was impressed with Goff in college, was his ability to extend plays but not take off running. He kept his eyes downfield. Wentz would be quick to tuck it an run. It served him well as that dual threat. A big guy who can pick up tough yards. But it cost him too.

When the play breaks down and Goff is forced out of the pocket he's still looking to complete a pass downfield. He'll run if its wide open like he did on a play the other day. But he doesn't put his body at risk as much as guys like Wentz and Deshaun Watson. I think the Rams noticed that too. Which is why they chose him.

Peters also had coverage on old man Gates on his 27 yard catch.

Rivers went at him and that's one of the things I love about Rivers.

He ain't scared of you!

Peters is overrated IMO, not worth the baggage.

He's like an off ball defender or shot blocker in basketball.

Great on the backside/weakside.

Ain't much of a tackler either. Ask Jared Cook!

Your posts are adorable.

Do they come in adult sizes?

I don't know where you're from but out here in the local L.A. area,,, and media were calling him a bust and coming from the Air Raid system during his first year...

Then talking about not being able to work underneath the center... because they didn't do that in his colleges days...

Prior to the draft, they were comparing both Goff vs Wentz, Goff coming from the Air Raid and Wentz coming from a Pro Style offense in college....

Sorry if I dont have a news link for you,,, but this was coming from all the TV, radio,,,
Maybe if you like you can google it.... I'm sure you find something.....

During his first year as a Ram, yes, there was a lot of that talk. Bust, etc. Fueled by the losses. That continued in to the summer of 2017.

Before the draft, there was a lot of different talk. Some said that Goff was more pro-ready because Cal played better teams. Some said Wentz was more pro-ready because he played in a pro system.

I do know people said that playing in an Air Raid put Goff behind because the Air Raid system just does that. But it did not reduce to whether he could play under center. This came from people who were in Goff's corner, too. One of the best, Matt Waldman, wrote after 2016 that Goff had a steeper hill to climb because of the Air Raid. But Waldman defended Goff.

It used to be no one from an Air Raid system made in the NFL. When Manomes was drafted the Air Raid came up a lot. Now Goff and Mahomes have both made it, but it is still pretty clear that Air Raid qbs struggle as rookies. Mahomes didn't because he sat and learned as a rookie.

So yes all that's been out there. I only questioned one thing--I never heard or read anyone who said specifically that Goff would never work out playing under center. But it's just that one statement--lots got said, but it's just that I don't recall anyone saying that one specific thing (that he would never work out playing behind center).

But if all you meant was he had doubters, absolutely yes.

Yeah... the no air raid QBs do well as a rookie thing is specious.. at best

Well one plays well in his first year in the league, then, draw attention to it.

I remember Fisher was being interviewed on the radio,,,
One of the talking points were about him playing underneath the center...
Fisher mention "we are working on that... but you still have plenty of QBs playing shotgun... Peyton Manning,,," and he named a few others...

But that was the talking topic,,, around here,, coming from the Air Raid system,,, and they were picking out all of the problems with the Air Raid to being a NFL QB,,, and one of the topics were playing underneath center...

Now if it wasn't a main topic on the news media,,, sorry,,, but I know what I heard...
