Just Joshin' Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It really was the only choice. If a coach preaches competition then you need to start the player who performed the best which was Peterman. This does not change the fact that Allen is the future and the future gets a chance to continue his development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 1 minute ago, Mickey said: 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may surprise Hmm. He looked pretty good last preseason too. Let's hope he looks good in the regular season this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark92 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I for.one am happy for Nate. He has dealt with a lot of crap after that 5 int game. Shows what he is made of.

There is value to that, no doubt, but at some point you have to take the plunge and live with the kind of mistakes rookies make, have always made and always will make. You learn best by doing, not by watching. I don't disagree with starting Nate but I think Allen needs to start sooner rather than later unless by some miracle Nate develops into a franchise guy.
