It's getting a little long to be a hot streak, though longer ones aren't unheard of.
I guess it depends on what level we want to take expectations. Peters has already surpassed the "Hey, that's damn good for a 3rd stringer" phase and is probably past the "Damn good for a backup" phase as well. As stated last night, how much longer does he need to keep it up before he becomes "legit" and how much longer after that do we feel comfortable making it HIS team and all that comes with it?
The first question he can handle on his own. If he keeps this play up through an especially important January (our easiest segment of the schedule by far), he'd be well into the "legit" category. The second question depends on his play and Ward's play. If both keep going the paths they're going, it'll be Peters team with no safety nets behind him. If Ward bounces back, we'll have a 1A/1B type situation, which would be ideal.
