I am amazed at how our fans kept saying all offseason that this should be a learning year for Allen, he shouldn't play a down, he should just learn, he's too raw, he's going to get killed behind such a bad o-line. All that with Peterman and McCarron as the guys who would be playing ahead of him. And now that we have a QB who actually looked solid in his last game and Allen already got hurt once and now we want to throw him in? Not saying one game makes Barkley a superstar but let's ride the hot hand at least for one game and do what we said we were going to do to begin with letting Allen develop from the sideline instead of throwing him into the deep end.
That was replacing Flutie who had already led us to two straight playoff seasons not a very raw rookie who was coming off an injury. Galaxies different situation.
