It came to a head and AG was restricted. I believe he's back in large part because Kraft has allowed. Leaving BB biting his lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, they must have really liked the way their QB's work together in the last 6-7 weeks. How nice is it going to be entering camp and having the QB rotation set in stone and not have to worry about QB "battles" and dealing with doling out equal reps, preseason snaps etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt an assistant QB coach would make the amount of money he signed for as a player. Plus, wasn’t this guy sleeping at the stadium and counting the days down until he could be back with his family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely know who our 1, 2 and 3 are...done. Dilusions by Anderson? No way, he gets a nice pay check, won't get banged up and he knows exactly why he is there. Barkely? He knows his job, he has a contract with the knowledge that this team isn't testing him out...this team wants him here. We have a haggard vet who has been around, a 4-5 year veteran who has taken his lumps and is still sticking around, and Kid Cannon who's ready to take the league over. Hollywood writes this stuff.

No mysteries heading into 2019 at all. Yup -- use all of those draft picks and cap to build around Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy should never be on the field again IMO. What makes you think he would be a good coach? Does he want to spend 80+ hours a week working like all other coaches do?

Especially for a guy considered to be a raw project who needed to sit a year or more. He also had to coach 3 (!) other starting QBs this season, two of which showed up like 10 days before they had to play and didn’t know the system, and one who is extremely limited (Nate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Great move for Josh Allen, he has a solid backup in Matt Barkley and now basically a QB Coach along with Cullen to help him even further along, great job by the Bills to secure these guys for Allen.

SoCal Deek Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Jumping in a few pages late here...but I'm not sure that I understand this 'signing' at all. While I liked locking Barkley in for a few years, Andersen is just an unnecessary distraction really. The team doesn't need two veterans to back up their 'Rookie' project...do they? Seems to also send an odd message to Barkley. It's not a big deal either way, but I'm not sure why this signing was the first thing they needed to do following the end of the season.

They started the season with two rookies and paid a heavy price. Very clever ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
