Do the Bills need a sacrificial lamb QB for preseason game 4?

I agree

 

If you are worried about him getting hit, then run a 'run-heavy' offense.  The benefit for him will be to be in game action and make his pre-snap reads. Sure, they may be against 'vanilla' defenses, but it will still be against a team that he doesn't see in practice.

Heavy run game.  Don't let the clock stop.  Army does it all the time!

Our current mop up QB was the #7 pick in the draft.

 No he isn't.  Our mop up guy was a 5th rd pick last year.

Someone brought this up in another thread and I think that it is worth considering. The starters will play little, if at all in the final preseason game. I can’t imagine that Beane or McCoach would be thrilled about putting any of our current QBs out there, especially for quarters 2-4.  You’ll have a QB exposed behind a craptastic line for much of the game.

 

So, your options are:

Go with the flow and what happens, happens.

 

Go against the grain and play starters at least the first half in game 4 still exposing a QB to a possible beating in the second half?

 

Sign a journeyman QB to take the hits.

 

Or do you think that McC or P-man will be moved for whatever once the starter emerges? This would open up a roster spot for a journeyman QB.

 

Since you brought it up, can we nominate you? Do you have other plans?

Great idea.

If we go with a running clock, and we occasionally punt on first or second down, he could actually survive? Just a guess, not knowing body type or how quickly he can duck/slide. 

 

Before this experiment, we may want consent forms signed to test for CTE later. Either later that day, or down the road if he makes it that far.
