K-9 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 What a difference a year makes going from zero stability at the most important position to making it one of the most solidified on the squad. No mysteries heading into 2019 at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Solid move. Honestly I'm looking more forward to our firings at the current moment. Castillo and Crossman firings will let me know McDermott is ready... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark80 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't get it really. He is terrible as a QB. Why not just add him to the coaching staff? The guy should never be on the field again IMO. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKellyTryouts Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm a little surprised he wanted to come back after getting rocked with that concussion as he was in the midst of retirement. Ideally, he'll not have to take a single snap on the field for us this next year, and *insert cliches about being a mentor* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Meh. It's OK, I guess as a benbefit to Josh Allen. I think it's a bit redundant (Matt Barkley is already a veteran presence). With Josh Allen being just a second year QB (in 2019) there's no particular rush to bring in a developmental guy. After next season, I would definitely let him go in favor of a youngster.

Little surprised, but glad Josh will have plenty of help I just assume that from the sideline to the QB room Anderson has had a positive impact on Josh's development and OBD has seen this and rewarded it. If Anderson, Barkley, and Allen have developed a good supportive chemistry, OBD is smart not to disrupt it at this stage.

DCbillsfan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This is a good move. Anderson has a lot of experience and Allen needs as much mentoring he can get. If all goes well, Anderson will be inactive for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they make him a coach he’s not making that kind of bank and he’s have to put in more hours as acoach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I dont understand keeping him around waiting a roster spot and cap space on him. If he is essential as an Allen mentor, make him a QB coach, theres no cap for coaches so the Pegulas can pay him what he is getting now. He was an upgrade over Peterman, but not a great option for anything else.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 So glad to see this; after a historically horrendous QB stretch this year mid season, they are finally pulling the right levers at the position it appears. Am optimistic this is the right mix in the QB room going forward into 2019! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
