Allen getting the Starting Nod

It seems that Josh Allen is getting the starting nod for the Bills this Sunday at home vs. the San Diego Los Angeles Chargers. Not exactly sure what to make of this. On one hand, it appears the Bills are throwing him into the fire vs. a ferocious pass rush - on the other hand Nathan Peterman certainly hasn't proven he is a capable NFL starting QB, so why not start letting Allen gain some experience now? Potential injuries and a loss of confidence long-term are probably the two reasons against starting Allen, but at least with Allen you appear to be working toward some future goal. The Peterman road seems to be a dead end.

Good luck Josh. It can't be as bad as last Sunday's 3-47 loss to Baltimore or last year's 24-54 loss at the Chargers when Peterman threw 5 INTs in the first half of his first professional start, can it? My paranoia tells me yes, but let's hope I'm over-reacting.
