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...
frostbitmic Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I predicted before game 1 that we'd start 6 QB's this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Peterman takes the first snap then Barkley steps in. That would keep it at 3. ? 3 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.

Elite Poster Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The starter going into game 1 is HEALTHY. How freaking embarrassing. BTW you guys remember Vontae Davis? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. While theres parallels there the Eagles finished 10-6 that year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
