BillsFan130

Fair points and thanks for your reply. I don’t see it the same as you personally though. I’m not saying there aren’t instances where sitting behind someone can’t be beneficial. But do you honestly think A Rod, Brees or Brady wouldn’t have as much success if they were thrown in their rookie year? I certainly don’t and I don’t think it has any factor at all. In my opinion

I disagree. Mahomes is a very special case. He sat behind one of the biggest class acts in the NFL in Alex Smith who apparently taught him everything as they went on, and learned from Andy Reid and Matt Nagy. 2 brilliant offensive coaches and 1 very smart veteran QB. Allen does not have that luxury needless to say, nor do most rookie QBs when they come in the league. Getting the player reps and letting them read the defences and learning from the mistakes is by far the best way to learn IMO.

What’s the point of wasting one or two games? They are not making the playoffs and running the table with a guy who couldn’t even beat out Jeff Driskoll for the backup job in cinci.

So in other words just waste more time for Josh Allen’s development? Just out of curiosity please answer the question.

Let me ask you something. The Bills are 3-7. So what are the odds the Bills make the playoffs starting Barkley the last 6 games? And what are the odds the Bills make the playoffs if they start Allen the final 6 games? In your personal opinion.

I get your point sir. But think about it. They are 3-7. There is probably a 99 percent chance they don’t make the playoffs. So you got to ask yourself. Is there really that big difference between Barkley and Allen at this time? Probably not much if any. So go with the young potential franchise QB. If Allen wins games and they somehow make the playoffs? Fantastic. If he doesn’t play well and they miss out? Extremely good chance they would miss the playoffs with Barkley as well so might as well get Allen the experience and let him learn

A quitters mentality? When did I ever say throw in the towel? Try to win every single game with Josh Allen. Not Barkley. The reality is they are 3-7 and the odds of making the playoffs are basically slim to none. So it would be very foolish to start a career journeyman over your potential franchise QB to have a prayers chance of getting into the playoffs. Sean McDermott realized that as well. You’re one of the few who hasn’t I guess. Try to win every single game, yes. But don’t be stupid and just waste 6 games on a journeyman, where you can get Allen more experience going into 2019.

No problem sir!

Huh? The poster was stating to start Barkley... If Allen starts all games and the Bills make the playoffs I would be ecstatic

Is there really any point possibly sneaking in (and by possibly I mean very unlikely) at 8-8 and then getting crushed in the first round by the Steelers or patriots? I would much rather play Allen and let him develop, and then head into 2019 with a more experienced Allen. And better draft picks at the same time.

Lol at first when I first read it, I thought it was Derek Carr that said that. I was thinking this guy has some nerve to criticize a QB getting overpaid lol

Jameis might be your best bet. He turns it over like crazy of course, but should throw for lots of yards and a few TDS against San fran

Why is he hard on him? As he claims that if anyone knows him, they’ll know why. Anyone know the story?

Over under- 1.5 - Threads tonight/tomorrow about how the Bills should have drafted Mahomes?

I can’t even imagine how bad the Bills would get pasted if they played one of these teams lol

I miss those Balt Pitts 17-14 tough defensive games.

Do you guys like these high scoring crazy games? Serious question. I personally find it brutal. It’s like if you hold them to a field goal, it’s a win for the defence.

Ya exactly

Hahaha. Well not that extreme lol

This game sucks. I may be in the minority but I hate the new NFL. No defence and 30 flags a game

Chiefs are getting hosed tonight

Rams are so fun to watch

Are you actually serious?

Out of curiousity how do you feel bad for him? Hes barely even trying

Ya I 100 percent agree
