Four Different Starting QBs in One Season


Gugny

Recommended Posts

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?

Well people say the Bills suck and mock them.   

 

Well the Bills are out to prove them right.

I'm sorry, but no.  Peterman, Allen, Anderson, Barkley.

 

I'm talking about how many different QBs start games; not how many different starters (i.e. - Peterman, then Allen, then Peterman again = 2 different starters).

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.

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?

In agreement with your contention, there was some discussion the other day on talk radio that the direct snap to McCoy to start the Bills' offensive game vs. New England resulted in McCoy being technically listed as the starting QB for the game.  I heard only parts of the total discussion, so I do not know if the rule / statistic is correct.

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.

 

While theres parallels there the Eagles finished 10-6 that year

So they were sort of like the 2018 Bills, but completely different in pretty much every way imaginable.

 

Got it.

Got it.

Both teams had to use several quarterbacks while having a solid defense.  And unless a miracle happens they both arent playoff teams
