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


Recommended Posts

If Barkley does start it could be just that, one off footnote in Bills history like the (@ Falcons) Brian Brohm disaster. Or he could play decent, make Peterman history, give us a look at a possible long term back up and send us into the bye with a win. Either way I say start Barkley. Give Allen that extra 2 weeks rest and let him come out of the bye ready to rip. As for Peterman, let him be inactive and have the backup be a combination of direct snap to Pryor Shady Ivory and Logan Thomas. Just start Barkley with Allen as the “backup” Get him back in game mode but save the bullets on that elbow. Make him the backup but with no intention of playing. Send Peterman anywhere else

I was on that "other" board in 2013.

 

Who here on TBD wanted Barkley instead of EJ?

I didn't want any of them.  I wanted to keep Fitz another year.  Although, I do remember there were some people insisting we should trade up for either Geno or Barkley because they were going to be great and both be drafted early.

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. 

This is funny coming from a guy that is and has been advocating that Peterman start.

Amazing...it's Friday and they don't know who is starting....great way to prepare for the game

 

I hope they do not tell anyone who will start every week until Allen is fully healed.

BTW, i said after the Pats game no way Anderson sees the field again except as a backup if Allen get injured in a game..looking like that is the case. He wnated no part of playing to begin with, and the beatings he took in the two games were not what he signed up for.

 

Then he should have signed to a offense assistant although he would probably make a lot less.

Ha ha, I'm sure the Jets are quaking in their boots!! A potential QB lineup of such awesomeness there is no way to stop it they can only hope to contain it!!

Exactly.

 

The Jets aren't so much geared up to STOP Barkley, Anderson, or Peterman.

 

They're just trying to put in some kind of gameplan to at least limit the potential damage they'll do to the scoreboard at MetLife.

Dude it's dumb. Be decisive on if you want guaranteed loss Peterman, wildcard doesn't know the playbook Barkley (WHO COULD USE A FEW PRACTICE SNAPS) or banged up rookie you don't really need to start.

Is this true?  I can't find anything about it online but it sounds too much like something Beane/McD would do not to be true.

Idk if you're agreeing or not. Why sign him elsewhere to the worst situation imaginable and not intend to start. Why give him whatever stupid contract incentive you just cited if he's should be starting this week??

 

Beane's tanking. Because if not he's somehow creating every excuse to start Peterman as if he's simply playing a great backup, not the best tank QB the game has ever seen.

I will not be a starting TV viewer today. I have more important things to do like straightening up the garage and sighting in my rifle. I will not take time out of my day to watch this steaming pile of crap. Maybe when Allen returns.

 

What nonsense. Nobody who has the time to post on a Bill's message board isn't going to watch the Bills. Not buying tickets and going to the game I get, but you will be watching. Everyone who posts here will be. You are a Bill's fan, not some front running Rams fan.
