I have a feeling that BB might be using Peters as a sacrifice lamb honestly. I think Art has the chance to develop and BB and TP see that, but also know he was rushed in to action and that caused Art to develop bad habits at Rutgers and they started to reappear when he was forced in to action here. BB wants to win, but know this year was going to be a shot show regardless, so he is giving BP the reins knowing that he is struggling to let Art develop to give him the best chance to fix his issues and lead the team next year since our other QBs need even more seasoning. This allows BB to step up and show improvement while not ruining QBs that could actually help us in the future vs what BB knew from the start would be a lost season/bridge year.
Honestly, I don't believe that for the reasons above. BP is the sin eater for this year. Art may not be worse, but he isn't better either. Let Art fix his issues and gain confidence not in the crucible so he can be better next year instead of BP level for 2 years.
This has been his case since Michigan. He hasn't developed past HS where his first read is the only read and him getting consistently hot for 2 years has made it worse. He is out there without awareness, he is running the plays but we are making him do it so that other guys aren't forced to develop bad habits like he has.
