Peterman is starting because he presents the best opportunity to win some games and get to the playoffs. Your worst game of your career should not come nearly 3 seasons into starting. Tyrod has regressed every year. They brought in Dennison who Tyrod is very familiar with and installed a system that he knows well to give him an opportunity to take that next step and it didn't happen. Plain and simple.
If you actually watch him play, with your own two eyes, you'll see that he just isn't ever going to be good enough. In fact I am shocked that a fan base, who has been exposed to absolutely awful QB play for nearly 20 years now, can't identify a dud when they see it. I think in preseason they identified who the better QB was. But McDermott's mind told him it was "just preseason." Now more than half way through the season, he has seen first hand that his gut feeling was right all along. Play the kid, see what he's got.
And to all of you that hate the move, let's put it this way. If we're going to lose, let's make it productive. We have a plethora of draft picks and a lot of holes. What if Peterman is good or great? We have an absolute great chance of fixing much of what is wrong with this team. If Peterman is bad, then we go into full on rebuild mode. We trade a bunch of capital to draft a QB high in the first. Unfortunately, this is the reality of this franchise right now, and I thought people would've recognized it during the absolute purge of players in the offseason and beyond.
