I think that Nancy Pelosi coming out and suggesting Biden shouldn't debate (along with others in media doing the same) is actually really good for Biden. They are setting up our expectations for Biden to be quite low. If Biden debates, and manages to avoid any major gaffes or brain-meltdowns, the narrative afterwards will essentially be that Biden did well and exceeded all expectations (and that Trump looked petty trying to score cheap points at the expense of Biden - they'll paint him as a malevolent bully)
I don't know if that's what will happen in reality though. He did good against Bernie, but Trump might be a different thing entirely. Bernie is not a master of provocation like Trump is - we'll see how Biden handles it. If his campaign is smart, all his time in the basement has been spent preparing him for battle with Trump.
