I liked Peterman's upside as an extremely smart and accurate QB, as did one of the 32 best coaches in all of football and one of the 32 GM's in all of football - not to mention draft experts. He didn't meet that potential while here, but he's still 25 and employed. He may get another shot, and then it's up to him. He beat out Allen by a mile in his first camp, and as a result earned the right to start. That's where it starts and stops for me, but you can't seem to wrap your head around that fact.
My skepticism of Allen goes back to pre-draft and he's done very little to fix his flaws so far or prove that his strengths can overcome them so far - but I'm still hopeful. What success this team has had is not a result of him carrying them, but of a well balanced and solid team in an extremely weak conference.
It's a lot easier to get stronger than it is to get smarter, but with the amount of Dunning-Kruger going on in here that might be hard to believe
