I forgot that Fewell is Jalen Ramsey's current position coach... ?  I just don't get why some of this amazingly football savvy community cannot understand that this year is about developing Josh Allen. After the ill-fated first game, this season became one that if Josh is healthy, he starts. There will be moments where we all want to look away; there will be moments where we will all be amazed by the athleticism and development. Hopefully the last 5 games being amazed moments >>>>>> look away moments.

The key word is rookie. Some people wouldn't know football if one hit them in the noggin.  Well like the referee in The Longest Yard some need the football to hit their brains to get attention.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you thought Peterman was going to be a great QB as you were posting over and over, I question how you understand the game. I'm not sold on Allen, but he certainly has a chance to be a good QB based on the skills he possesses. Starting Barkley would be nonsensical as he's shown himself to be an interception prone limited backup QB who can play a good game from time to time. He shouldn't start again and he won't because playing Allen is the right move for the future of the team as the youth movement has taken hold in earnest. Time to get the kid as many snaps as possible for the remainder of the 2018 season with the vision on 2019 and beyond. Matt FN Barkley? No! Barkley has a noodle arm- a good defense would of picked a few of those balls that were hung up far too long. That said, I wouldnt mind the Bills giving him a good look as a 2 or 3 next year. I certainly dont want Anderson back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it was a mistake to not have a veteran presence for Allen from the beginning. Water under the bridge now; however, definitely a good thing to have going forward. 3 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. Allen credits both for helping him improve.

Â 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...

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.

I just Googled the free agent qbs in 2019. 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.
