The Frankish Reich Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 You gotta choose one, or name one I forgot about. Take yourself back to when they pulled the plug on Peterman in Game 1 and consider any unsigned QB out there at the time (or who became available later, like Tom Savage). No saying Kaepernick or Tebow; we've been there, done that too many times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) OK, I'll throw out some names. (I couldn't do a poll on my phone.) - EJ. Hey, he's got a better track record than Barkley, and we just signed Barkley! - Derek Anderson (because, well, you know why) - Tom Savage - Landry Jones - Thad Lewis (I have warm and fuzzy memories) - TJ Yates. He specializes in this role, the midseason addition thrown out there to the wolves. - Matt Barkley. Because you think McBeane knows best after all. - Matt Moore. Because he's kind of the slightly wealthier man's Derek Anderson Edited October 31, 2018 by The Frankish Reich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I have to wonder how much of that decision is football related, and how much is perception? Or even willingness on EJ’s part? Is that possible? I’d think EJ would take the job and the $$$.

It's the idea that signing EJ would subject them to more mockery, whereas nobody has really given Barkley a thought. Even though EJ is objectively better. Not good. But better.

I feel that with the way our defense was playing against the Pats, just taking a knee three times and punting every possession would have meant covering the spread. But no, we had to actually try to throw the ball and you saw what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Peterman never should have been here competing for the starting job...... There was the issue plain & simple and snowballed from there. Any smart FO after drafting your franchise QB, has a vet who has proven serviceable in the NFL to mentor & pass him the torch. Really not rocket science. The Bills though were too smart and chose Peterman as that person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Thrill Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I would seriously take Chad Kelly. He’s a better prospect than a lot of #2 QB’s but there has to be a reason why Denver released him so quickly and why other teams won’t touch him. 34 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: I forgot about Matt Moore. Does he want to play? Because he's clearly a better option than most of these guys. I agree...I thought that Miami should have started MM over Cutler last year. I also think he would be a better option than Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
