The plays are there, they just aren't what he wants to call/incorporate.

And Tyrod has done more to earn a bad game than Peterman, no?

Ha. I wonder if that area of NC is for Zay Jones fans.

Flacco threw for 28 yards and 2 INTs through 3 quarters in his 141st start. There was no push to start Mallett over him. QBs will have bad games. Knee-jerk reactions aren't the solution, especially when you're still in playoff position.

fixed for accuracy.

I think Marrone would have stuck with Peterman because he's too stubborn to admit a mistake. And that's why I'm coming around to McD's decision. He's a first year HC, mistakes are going to happen. I can accept that as long as he grows from them. Surely we will see Peterman in action again some time as well. Hopefully he also grows from his experience.

How about Willy Nilly? That seems fitting.

Romo had a broken bone in his back. That's very different than taking a hit. Why are you arguing that it isn't? The situations are nowhere near comparable.

No. Just stop.

There's also the one that says everyone's happy when you're winning. My main point was that the original decision wasn't even a choice, Romo was hurt. If Tyrod were injured in the Saints game nobody in the media would have questioned starting Peterman. If Peterman then led us on a 6-1 run, nobody would have questioned Tyrod not getting his job back.

Probably because Romo was injured when they made Prescott the starter, and by the time Romo was healthy Prescott had led the Cowboys to a 6-1 record.

No, he was angry because he was watching what should have been a competitive game to stay in a playoff spot swirl down the drain.

Not even close to the point I was making, but good attempt!

I'm worried about Peters, but maybe we can avoid his side of the field. Right, because that isn't a debate worth having. And again, I'm sorry that your perception doesn't align with reality.

Imagine that, you're looking at passing TD % and I'm looking at TD%. Yes Nate's percentage does go up when you omit sacks and rush attempts and Tyrod's stays roughly the same. Do we want to talk about Turnover % while we're at it?

Peterman's TD% is 3.70 (1 TD scored on 27 Attempts). Tyrod's is 3.84 (14 TDs on 365 Attempts). Peterman's YPA is 6.04. Tyrod's is 6.60. Yes, it's slightly below league average. I'm not the one that needs to face facts here though Mr. I prefer my perception to reality.

He faced the 3rd most average yards to go on 3rd down in the league and was still 9th in conversion rate. People love to see what they want though. And before we get the captain checkdown canned response

The damage has been done. Time to lay in the bed they made, roll with Nate, and see if he's grown from his prior experience. It's not the decision that gives you the best chance to win, but I just don't see how you can go back from that.

It's honestly incredible how silly these takes get. Passer Rating: 2015 - 8th 2016 - 18th 2017 - 14th ANY/A: 2015 - 9th 2016 - 18th 2017 - 21st DVOA: 2015 - 8th 2016 - 19th 2017 - 18th TD%: 2015 - 16th 2016 - 16th 2017 - 20th TD/TO: 2015 - 2nd 2016 - 7th 2017 - T-3rd

We're going to have to agree to disagree here. Passing yards are a function of attempts. In 2015 he was 24th in attempts, 23rd in yards, 2016 he was 25th and 25th, this year he's 24th and 24th. Maybe when Passing Yards become correlated with winning you'll have a valid point though. For now I'll stick with DVOA, ANY/A, and Scoring Offense. I appreciate you having an appropriate name though.

Woods is doing more than he was here, Watkins is doing less, and as a tandem they are doing almost exactly the same as they have every year of their careers together. Watkins never played a full season with Tyrod here, and as far as WR tandems go there are many better options. The OL was never set up to be solid in pass blocking, but scheme and Tyrod's escapability masked that. Despite that, we had a top 10 offense 2 years running. That doesn't happen with a QB who isn't good enough to start.

This point simply defies logic. He's going to be a starter for a while. He's easily been in the top 15-20 QBs, or higher depending who you talk to, every year with a less than stellar supporting cast. McDermott can try whatever he wants, but all he did Sunday was demonstrate all the deficiencies on O that Tyrod helps mask.

Nate had Shady, so I don't understand your point here (other than the gameplan should have featured him more). Clay almost always has rest days because of his knee, if Nate didn't have chemistry with him then the decision to start him is even worse.

If our entire offense's success is predicated on a single player that wasn't even on our team until week 9 and didn't play until week 10 then we have even bigger issues than everyone thinks.
