77% were wrong believing our HC wouldn't be fooled by the mirage of preseason, but the Allen Era begins week 2!

McDermott wasn't wrong.  He needed a sacrificial lamb to make it through week 4.  Peterman needs to be that guy.  Well maybe he was wrong in thinking Nate would make it that long.  But he wasn't wrong in selecting Peterman as the lamb.

Denial of what?  I'm no Peterman apologist and very far from it.  You can find several posts where I actually cautioned people to not buy into the preseason Peterman.  My point is that Peterman is the sacrifice.  They were probably hoping Nate could last longer than he did, but I definitely do not think that Peterman was ever in their long-term plans even for this season.  Again, he's the lamb led to the slaughter until they feel Allen is ready.  I've always viewed it this way, especially since they traded McCarron away.  Once they did that, my thinking was they are hoping Allen progresses pretty quickly.  They didn't think they would have to force him into starting duty in week 2.

I don't think his stats tell the whole story. He was much much worse than his stats imply... hello ...hello... is this thing on... I'll show myself out.

I think "The preseason Peterman" needs to become an offical term here at TBD for any preseason hero who stinks in real games.  "That dude was a real preseason peterman".

Wow, you took the words right outta my mouth. I can't believe there is still a question and people speculating that Nate may start against LAC, again. 

 

I'm not saying this is what I want to see happen, but I think McDermott will stick with Nate.

I think you are right . It shouldn’t be a surprise if Peterman still starts this Sunday .

I do to, until they think that Allen is ready Peterman, for good or bad, is the sacrificial lamb.

What?  Thinking Peterman is the sacrifice is stupid thinking?  It might be unfounded, but I think we can deduce from particular transactions that that's exactly what this is.

Nope you are wrong.

...McCarron as expected did not do much in his last pre-season start post injury......but what was the rush to trade him for a pick anyway NOW?........not by any means saying he was or would have been the answer anyway in yesterday's slaughter, but a rush to judgment for a HIGHLY coveted 5th round pick?.....seriously?......

Eh, people are still talking about it. 

 

Mods are free to do what they will and lock it down at any point, but I think the fact that so many of us were basing our opinions on who would win the QB competition on who should win the QB competition have some vindication at this point makes this conversation quite relevant as we start our season.

I feel vindicated because I promised Peterman would suck. That doesn’t make me happy though. It’s kind of like being found not guilty of a crime you didn’t commit. You still had to suffer through the trial (or in this case Peterman). This dumpster fire was predictable. Now, let’s just do what we need to do and hand the keys to the guy with a chance. Let’s pray that he’s the guy.

They won’t unless it goes way off the rails or the OP sends them some sort of message.

if the OP hadn't resurrected it continually, it would have died it's natural death. everytime it threated to slip into oblivion, the OP had to resurect it with a article that was already posted elsewhere on the forum.

I'm under the impression the entire offense is trash. Allen will most likely start now so maybe the Wrs will get open and the O-Line won't jump offsides all game. Hopefully Shady can break a run without holding penalties attached. 

 

Hopefully the punter doesn't fumble a punt and maybe the defense won't leave guys wide open by a mile and a half.

 

Who knows maybe Daboll doesn't look like a Rick Dennison clone with his game plan to straight suck. Hopefully Allen is the keys to make everyone do thier jobs because we all know Peterman couldn't.

 

I think everyone on the O-LINE took a turn jumping offsides. I hope Allen is the guy that makes the entire picture not blow chunks.  

 

On to the Chargers yucksters.
