Matt Barkley Will Be the Bills' Starter vs. the NYJ

Peterman didn't get hurt last week. Allen only got hurt on a freak thing. Anderson got hurt scrambling. But that aside, I have a hunch that if McD did start Pete again you'd still be upset at him because you are set against him.

 

I am for starting Peterman until Allen is healthy. Then keeping him on the practice squad if Allen gets hurt again and then pulling him up in an emergency. I won't be shocked if Peterman plays Sunday even if Barkley starts. Barkley will be injured by halftime.

The best example of this is starting the season with Peterman as the QB and then keeping him on the roster after he bombed in Baltimore.

 

Keeping Peterman was fine. He makes no money and is a perfect backup who is supposed to only play in emergencies.  He should have been the #3 QB like he was supposed to be. They had a veteran and he should have played until Allen was ready. With this line they need 3 quarterbacks. QB3 has to be one of these league minimum guys like Peterman and they only play in emergencies.

I feel about as bad as I can for a guy getting paid to play a sport but the Peterman thing is hilarious.  Play him for comedy’s sake.  There is no point in playing Barkley.

No and no!  His play on the field says exactly the opposite.

Wrong. His play on the field says he is a guy who is capable of coming in for a few plays in emergencies, and you get to pay him nothing, which allows you to play your top players. The third quarterback, getting paid the league minimum, is not supposed to be starting games. Only an idiot like McDermott does that. He is there to put on the practice squad and bring up a few times a year.

given that:

  1. the bills are bad offensively no matter who the qb is

  2. winning this game matters not at all, perhaps even is detrimental

  3. if JA is not 100%, there is no reason to play him

 

    I think I'd like to see Peterman start, just for the entertainment value.  Watching him play is fascinating, in a very perverse way. Watching Anderson or Barkley play would just be boring. Of course if JA is 100%,  the game experience would be beneficial. Otherwise  PETERMAN!

At this point they should seriously consider going Chris Ivory wild cat every play.  and im not joking.  

I just checked but Terrell Pryor is 1 point away from have the highest career qb rating of any qb on our roster!!! Pryor has double the qb rating of Peterman!!!  

 

This season is sort of amazing.

 

p.s. I was wrong. Logan Thomas is the highest rated QB on the Bills!  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/ThomLo00.htm

His play translates to a wasted roster spot.

Still won it. This is a fact.

 

100% meaningless with respect to translating to regular season play and a waste of time regarding Allen's development.

Yeah but every year, we make that mistake.  Peterman was the “best” qb in preseason.  And while I think AJ is slightly better, he wasn’t going to much here.  I actually don’t hate that trade. Just wish they had another option earlier.

It isn't a roster spot unless one of your other two quarterbacks get hurt. He is there for games like the Patriots when a guy like Anderson goes down with 2 minutes to play.

 

Remember, Allen is the quarterback, not Peterman. Anderson is Allen's backup, not Peterman. Peterman is the 3rd quarterback. Many teams don't even carry one. The Bills have to because their line can't protect the quarterback. Guys like Barkley don't go to the practice squad, guys like Peterman do.

No it hasn’t.  He’s very prone to turnovers and disasters waiting to happen.  That’s not being capable.

He had the best mirage that fooled some into thinking he could be an adequate NFL starter.  His flaws were very evident and were quickly exposed once games were played that actually count in the standings.  He's a complete waste of time.

Whatever advantage Peterman has over Barkley for being here longer than a week and a half is negated by the fact that he's one of the (if not, THE) worst NFL QB of all time!

 

We're not developing Matt Barkley. He's a veteran who's started 6 games. Throw him in the fire. It can't look any worse and i'd much rather have the devil I don't know over the Peter Man.

If he wasn't capable he wouldn't be here. It isn't his fault the coach thinks a 5th round guy in his second year, with no offensive line, should be a starting quarterback. This guy is a young QB making nothing. He has shown at times like in Houston he can play.

Oh, I agree. I’m just saying AJ is kinda garbage too and if it was a competition, Peterman won it.
