I'm back and forth on this one - I'd like to see Allen start, but feel that Peterman is probably more ready and has earned it with his work and performance this pre-season.
That said, as someone pointed out, how long is Allen really going to be on the bench? Do we really need to sit him for 4 games, to bring him in for the rest of the season?
Also, I've read the "QB will get ruined" argument quite a bit, but most of the pundits on NFLN, Sirius NFL, etc have said "If you have a QB that's going to get ruined in the first few games of his pro career, you don't have a Franchise QB." and honestly, I agree. If the guy is so weak he's going to slink at the first few signs of pressure, pain, or confusion, he's probably not the guy...
Soooo, let's start someone..?
