If the standard is "best chance to win right now" then doesn't that mean Allen never starts? How does Allen develop to be better than Peterman who has a year edge on him and will now get all the game experience and first team snaps? At some point you have to start Allen unless whoever else is playing develops into a franchise guy and take your lumps as he works through being a rookie. I think its the right move because I don't think Peterman will last long as the starter and doing it this way will force fans to have more patience with Allen once its proven that Nate is not the answer. If somehow Nate plays like a franchise guy then everyone is happy. That is what makes sense to me, not the "best chance to win" standard. If that was the standard then we should have kept Tyrod and had a QB competition between him, Nate and Josh.

How does he develop?  Practice.  Film study.

Except that NP can make throws over the middle.

Best throw of the season by any QB on roster was Peterman to KB vs LAC.  Of course I think it was this play KB got hurt.

 

Good QBs make this throw multiple times a game, but absence makes the heart grow fonder I suppose.

He's looked like a totally different player than what we saw last year-more confident and decisive, stronger arm and more velocity on the ball and better accuracy. He may surprise 

 

Hmm. He looked pretty good last preseason too. Let's hope he looks good in the regular season this time.

Yes, and, oh yeah, the most important part, not having his head slapped against the ground and becoming shell shocked in one year because the oline can’t protect him because he’s raw and holds the ball too long!!

I expect Allen will start at some point this year.

Lets him watch how a starter prepares and goes through games.

True, but he can't scramble for 20 yards on third and 19. And hasn't proven that he can run an interception free offense. 

 

Well those skills weren't enough to make people want to keep Taylor. Everyone wanted the over the middle pass. Now you have it.

Not exactly going out on a huge limb. Weird but that almost sounds like you’re actively rooting against a player on your team from succeeding.
