The plan was to start Peterman from game one!
A bunch of us had this as the plan.
The PLAN was formulated based on a couple principles:
1: TT had demonstrated, beyond any doubt, who he was as a QB, in the NFL. Nothing more needed to be seen. A season later, this was correct. Hindsight agreeing with Foresight!!! To argue otherwise is to be an obstinate rube.
2: The Rookie QB, considered by many pre draft experts to be the most NFL ready prospect in 2017 draft, needed to be in from the start for three reasons:
- Experience is a valuable and necessary part of a young QBs growth
- To demonstrate whether he should be on the team in 2018 or did he just not have anything.
- Sink or swim, we would end up where we needed to be at the end of the season in the draft order with a first year coach who had the latitude to suck in his first year and a built in excuse.
These three reasons would make wherever we were right now a heck of a side more palatable that the middle of the pack ? half of us predicted and didn’t want.
So , basically, I , and a bunch of others “ Told you so.” But you didn’t want the truth to intrude upon your fantasies.
