Golden*Wheels Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think Tyrod would be a good back up as he is a major change of pace, both from what WE do and what most NFL qbs do. Yeah that is hard for our guys to adjust to as well but I tend to think it is harder on the other team. Now, that advantage, is there is one, lasts all of maybe two games. Once they prep for him....meh. But as an IN game replacement, like Josh hurts his hand Q1? I think it'd HAVE to be Tyrod. As a more than 2 game solution? Well at that point it doesn't really matter IMO. They'll all be exactly what they are. IMO only Tyrod has the kind fo game that throws anyone for a loop, albeit only temporarily.

Reader Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 It has to be Fitz. Tyrod looked terrible last year (although to be fair, he was playing for Hue) and as a board I think the consensus was that we'd go 4-12 if Barkley was the starter.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Fitz by a lot, then Tyrod, and Barkley a very distant 3rd. Barkley is worse than EJ. 50 minutes ago, Real McCoy said: 1st - Barkley 2nd - Fitz - dude is 36 or I'd pop him first Distant 3rd - Tyrod This is your opinion but it is completely wrong. The Jets game, which was the best of Barkley’s career, moves him up to a 66 career qb rating. There’s a reason you could get him in the middle of the season. Fitz has been playing some of his best football the last few years. And I wasn’t a Tyrod fan but he won’t lose you a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can careless if you agree with my opinion as it will not change. The only fact of the matter is who our QB2 at this point and time is? Fitz would be my #2 QB if not turning 37, so, for longevity it's Barkley. I won't even comment on TT. The starter subject was so beat down around here and only half the forum can recognize truth or facts. The same thing falls under the back up role for me.

dje85 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I say Barkley. He knows what he is and that is a talented backup. He isn't going to seperate the locker room. Also from a pure talent stand point I'd take Fitz but every year the starter in front of him magically gets hurt within two weeks of the season it seems. After awhile you have to think it is him and not just bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Fitz is unquestionably the best QB of the bunch. The only problem is that with Fitz as your backup, an injury to your starting QB is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Depends on how our offensive lilne does. If they're as bad as last year you go with Taylor. If not, then I'd take Fitz as I'd rather have a gun slinger than a game manager. Barkley's a distant third as he sucked for the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with everything! I agree on the race card, Tyrod never played it. Others in the media played it "on his behalf" though I am absolutely not suggesting Tyrod asked them to or had anything to do with it. I think there was, however, just a little hint of victim playing after the benching against the Chargers. Tyrod was salty in the immediate aftermath but frankly I don't blame him for being - he was the 'victim' of two horrendous team displays against the Jets and Saints where both of our lines got lit up all day long. He didn't play well in those games but he wasn't the reason we lost either. However, Tyrod was also the consummate pro the next week when they reinstated him and he led the team to 3 wins from their final 4 to make the playoffs. There were plenty of opportunities for Tyrod to play the race card in Buffalo there were lots of media giving him opportunities in the way they asked their questions for him to play that card. He never did. I didn't ever really buy into Tyrod as a Quarterback. My answer to this question in the sense of who do I think would make the best backup Quarterback for a team is definitely Fitz (save for the curse haha), but at the same time Tyrod was a classy individual as a Buffalo Bill and in general he took a lot of knocks and never lost his professionalism. He was a credit to himself and the organisation even when they didn't always treat him the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still think his mobility makes him the best short term spot starter, and I still think he is quite a change of pace from Josh, even though Josh is indeed mobile.

billsfan89 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I would have to defer on the scheme and what the offensive coaches think. Clearly they like Barkley and I am fine with Barkley as the backup. However if you put all three on the same team or with similar talent levels I would say that Tyrod would win the most games. Yes Tyrod is too conservative but not making mistakes and being conservatives wins games esp with a good defense. Add in what Tyrod brings running the ball and it is a more consistent formula than Barkley and Fitz who might be more dynamic at times but also produce a lot of turnovers and mistakes.

I think scrub white qbs get more of an opportunity to hang around the league than other races. But Race wasn’t the reason Tyrod lost his job. But he is a lot better than he was given credit for here.

FearLess Price Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Id go with Barkley 1 Tyrod 2 and Fitzy off the board bc that will ensure whoever is starting ahead of him will miss time, whether its to an injury or suspension.
