The Nathan Peterman Reign of Terror Has Mercifully Ended
Well, the bold experiment that was QB Nathan Peterman is no more.
At long last, the Buffalo Bills did the humane thing and stripped the human pick of his NFL credentials.
This news likely comes as a blessed relief to most fans, and possibly Peterman himself, who couldn't have been having a good time underneath that avalanche of turnovers.
We must fondly remember his last game action, which took place two weeks ago in front of his legion of compassionate fans against the Chicago Bears.
The living legend produced his usual cringe-inducing statline, including three interceptions, one of which was of the pick-six variety.
At this point, the Bills pulled Matt Barkley out of an abandoned well and started him against the New York Jets, a decision that resulted in a 41-10 Buffalo road win.
Our hero was asked to leave the facility two days later.
The Internet hordes quickly weighed in on the subject:
This is the first Nathan Peterman release that won't be picked up by another team

Well, those are just mean-spirited.
Some folks tried a little tenderness:
I genuinely hope nothing but the best for Nathan Peterman moving forward. But this was a move that was overdue.

You aren't alone, dude.
As there's literally no chance Peterman will sign elsewhere -- even in the QB talent-deficient NFL -- we've likely seen the last of him.
We still have the memories, though:
For the record, Peterman tossed 13 interceptions in nine career appearances.
On an unrelated note, Colin Kaepernick is currently unemployed.
