He let him get shot by the firing squad. He’s the sacrificial lamb until we can block a little, maybe get open once in a while, and hopefully learn to catch. It is NOT about the next game, or even this year.   #SaveAllen

 

I agree with this. Lets at least wait till we get thru SD and Min. After that stretch of games, start the rookie.

Because he "earned it"  My guess is McBeane already had Josh's backup on his radar and this game 1 audition was Peterman's last chance to prove he could play under "live" fire.  They intended for Allen to start very early in the season when they traded McCarron.  Watch them sign Paxton Lynch.

 

 

Isn't Osweiler available??

im surprised anyone on the starting OL earned their job. Aside from Groy and Dawkins, everyone else must go. ESPECIALLY DucASSe

Groy????  He got pummelled to a pulp.  He was part of the problem.  Dawkins got manhandled by Suggs and Za"Darius Smith multiple times.

That’s the problem right there. While resetting the roster they let it get so bad that their best bet may be to waste a year of development for Allen. That’s a sad state for an NFL team and when Allen goes through his bumps the second year that’s a year closer towards his payday. The beauty of hitting on a first round QB is the five years of control at a minimal cost. These clowns don’t even have a roster where it’s safe to let him develop. 

 

That’s not how a professional team is supposed to be run. It’s a disgrace. 

 

Per all the experts Allen was a “project” with all the tools but not ready to start in Year 1. So maybe your HC planned for this and is hoping load up next year with young skill players and signing some FA lineman to protect Allen?

It’s a difficult situation because it’s more than a little awkward to say “Yeah, we know we have to go to Allen, but we’re not doing it until we think he can survive physically and mentally, so we’re just going to throw Peterman out here for a few more games. Let him take the beating while we move up in the next draft.”  But that may just be what’s going to happen. Now, how do you explain that....without explaining that?

At this point you have to wonder does Peterman know how to throw a man open, does he process things slowly & because of that is that why he’s not an NFL caliber QB? Either way his lack of velocity, questionable durability, nerves, and unathleticism attribute to what we’ve seen so far on Sunday’s. I’m not sure how someone with so few ideal skills can get many more starts.

I prefer bringing Kap in and offering him up to the football Gods vs Nasty Nate if i'm being honest Augie.

Man everyone needs to relax a little -  they played really really bad, but let’s play a few more games before we get the pitchforks out-  with that said there is no reason to delay the Allen era.

 

I bet 80% of the posters supported starting Peterman last week.

If Allen starts Sunday and is still standing at the end of the game without the offense line getting him killed I'd consider that a victory in itself. 

 

Ideally I'd still like him to sit a few more weeks but on the flip side maybe baptism under fire may give him the foundation for both mental and physical toughness needed to play the full season.  Just trying to make the most of a screwed up situation.

I dont understand why Mcdermott wouldn't do with Allen what he did with Edmunds. Similar age both freaky athletes both a little raw.  Edmunds from first day at mini camp was groomed by McDermott to be the guy, how to lead.  While at the same time Allen was regulate to third and getting the least amount of first team reps.  Now 4 months later after 2 quarters of the first game Allen who was prepared to play the least by the coaching staff is the obvious player that needs to play.  Same blunder Obrien made, Lovie Smith and Jon Fox got fired for it.  It's a pretty big indictment of his evaluation and expectation of the position.

I can't figure out why the kid looks functional-to-decent in the preseason and then looks like a guy who won a "QB FOR THE DAY" fan contest in the regular season. 

 

I get it -- it's the preseason, blah, blah, blah... but still, he was able to execute the basic fundamentals of throwing and completing a pass to a receiver.
