I would revisit the situation in the off season and see if the we have an opportunity to strengthen our backup qbs then. No doubt for the rest of this season, but I meant in '19. Allen credits both for helping him improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wonder if Anderson would even want to come back next year after the beating he took this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimebillsfan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I am still all about the development of Allen. I am really optimistic about his potential. I would be ok if they left the situation the way it is now. The only concern I have is if Barkley can be effective against a decent team or if he was taking advantage of an atrocious Jets team. I am not saying I want Barkley to start over Allen, but I do have that concern. 4 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: No doubt for the rest of this season, but I meant in '19.

I agree with you completely. I would live to see a proven QB coach with has been effective in developing young QBs. I never understood this hire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep Barkley in '19 and swap out Anderson for a slightly youger whoever-is-available for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be an option, but do you not believe an experienced backup is valuable as a mentor for another year?

Anderson is just too old. I want a vet, but like I said 'slightly' younger. Someone who could survive a couple games if neccesary. If DA in the QB room is that important, make him a coach but father time takes his toll- whether you can afford to pay it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would not want to see him in a gain again. You may be right. Do you have someone in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson has a better track record, more experience, and a better arm. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out in '19 with mentoring Allen as one of the factors to be considered. I hear ya. Im not so sure Anderson wants to come back anyways, we pretty much had to drag him out of retirement. The Bills may go a different route all together and find a qb in FA. Time will tell for sure.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 ....how is it that Barkley comes outta the mothballs, has a decent game and instantly should be signed to a contract as our backup?........he's traveled as much in the last six years as the NBA's Larry Brown.....why the Epiphany now??.......

The top four listed are Matt Ryan, Tyrod Taylor, Teddy Bridgewater, and Nick Foles. I don't believe any of them would fit the mold you are looking for. We may have to find a lower priced retread that has something left in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
