It should be evaluated after every season. I actually liked Barkley coming out but we literally say the best game of his entire career and that RAISED his qb rating to 68.3! It’s backup qb so you can’t be super upset either way. but if NE can draft qbs when they have Tom Brady, we can draft qbs when we have Allen and Barkley. You should never stop trying to improve the most important position.

That win bumped his record up to 2-5. and I’m completely biased but I think EJ is better than Barkley (and every stat and physical trait proved that). But that would probably just create a qb controversy and we can’t have Allen deal with that pressure ?. (I’m kidding and know there is no way to bring EJ back here. But it’s joke he doesn’t have a job somewhere and Peterman does). 1 minute ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...medicinal......... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz had a 96 QBs rating this year. Barkley has 68 for his career. Fitz is far superior to bArkley and it’s not close. But he probably wasn’t an option.

Did I miss the part of this MONSTROUS 2-year extension announcement in which the Bills said (or even implied) they are through addressing the QB situation into the future? And further, is there evidence during McD and Beane's massive 2-year run that suggests they don't plan on continuing to evaluate the QB situation going forward? I mean, they only drafted one in both drafts and have had about six or seven through the program. Sounds to me like you really have something to worry about here!

folz Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Josh has been making progress and getting better each week. Maybe that would have been a natural progression on its own, maybe its the coaching, maybe its the QB room and mentorship of DA and Barkley. Most likely it is all of the above. But the key is, it is working. So why break that Up. I think DA gets another 1 year contract for next year and you keep the QB room in tact for one more season. Then when Josh is going into year three, you can bring in the prospect QB (maybe just on the practice squad) and let DA retire, keeping Matt as primary backup and sounding board. Matt played a hell of a game vs. the Jets. Yes, it was only one game, but what makes it more important than his other 6 starts in the league (2 years ago for CHI) is that it was with our coaches and players, plus two years have passed since those 6 starts. Just as Josh made a leap from having some starts and then sitting for a while before coming back, maybe Matt has gotten better in those two years as well. People usually at least get marginally better with more experience. Plus it's not like they will ask him to go out and play like Josh if he has to go in. They won't ask him to do things he can't do. Just like every other team who is starting a backup, you simplify the game plan, you rely on your defense and RBs, and don't ask them to do too much. I feel pretty good about Matt being able to manage a game and hold the fort down for a couple of games when called upon. Very happy with the signing. Congrats Matt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not act like Belichick has made a serious effort to improve the position. He has drafted 3 QBs in the fourth round or above in the last 18 years. 2 in the 7th round. They draft QBs mostly to have a cheap guy as a backup and because they can fleece teams by making Matt Cassel look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If we get the right people around Allen from ownership to the janitor that is good. Barkley appears to be a good fit for the backup / mentor role and as an added bonus he seems like he can step in and play when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one shakes out from another team being Anderson is probably hanging them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about it......if Fitz didn't have "history" with the Bills he would be the exact type of mentor you would want for JA. Fitz had the brains he just didn't have the arm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
