Playing Peterman was the only choice for McD, IMO. If he had played reasonably well on Sunday, McD would have looked good. Now that Peterman sucked, as we all knew would happen, he has no excuse but to start the rookie. Allen starting this season was inevitable. Ideally, we would have liked him to sit and learn for at least 4-5 games, but that didn’t happen. As I stated in an earlier post, I honestly think they felt McCarron was going to be that bridge QB.
Conversely, if McD had started Allen in game one and Allen struggled, fans and media would be clamoring for Peterman. What a mess that would/could have been.
