Gugny Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If Barkley starts tomorrow, he will be the 4th different QB to start a game for the Bills in 10 weeks. From what I could find on the Interwebs, the 1987 Patriots have the record with five ... but that was in a strike season (in which Doug Flutie crossed the line and started one game before the strike ended). I feel like there's been no team in the history of the NFL to botch the handling of the QB position (some consider it an important position in the NFL). Am I wrong? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrong? It would definitely be harder to prove you are wrong. How few games Peterman started and how many times he was benched during or after them is insane. McClappy's insistence that Peterman could succeed only resulted with both having so much egg on their faces that they're both a bit of a "yolk" league wide.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Hey listen...keep trying guys until you find a good one. Even if it’s not by design. Eventually law of average is going to kick in and we are going to get lucky on a guy. Maybe that was kind of Fitz but Chan was so inept that the rest of the team made Fitz look bad. Someday we are going to have acceptable QB play again. Who knows? Maybe it will end up being tomorrow. You never know when a guy is just going to match up with a system and reach maximum potential. Maybe Dabol and Barkley will just click. Doubt it, but who knows? Edited November 10, 2018 by Brianmoorman4jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard only parts of the total discussion, so I do not know if the rule / statistic is correct. Edited November 10, 2018 by Ridgewaycynic2013 Clarification.

The 1991 Philadelphia Eagles were similar to us albeit they were a better team. Randall Cunningham went down in the first game of that year and they had at least three quarterbacks the rest of the year. Also like the Bills they had a solid defense, theres was arguably the best in the league that year.

So injuries are the coaches fault? They said they intended Allen to start week 1, but his 3rd preseason game made them want to sit him a little early In this season and NP just flopped and JA got out in during week 1. Now hes hurt. NP failed so they signed DA but had to keep NP too with Allen still hurt. So they signed Barkley with both DA and JA still hurt, but again have to keep NP in case Barkley gets hurt. So what did they botch? Injuries are injuries, only reason it will be 4. Edited November 11, 2018 by Alphadawg7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeKayAdams Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 This is the 5th time in franchise history that 4 or more players started the season at QB: 1960 and 1961 before they found Kemp, 1968 when Kemp was injured in preseason and out for the year, 1987 during the strike year, and now 2018. The other four seasons had better excuses. This one is just sad and is due to McDermott's hard-on for fellow Jesus freak, Nate Peterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the Bills quarterbacks got injured. Do you even watch the Bills. At a bare minimum they would have three starters and with this offensive line 4 or even 5 is possible.
