atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I didn’t click on it. Not giving USA Today anymore than it deserves. Honesty if they even glanced at Barkley’s stats from last year they would see he is a capable backup. I’d dare say Barkley is the perfect backup for this team and Allen. Barkley seems to be comfortable with the role and enjoys the team and city. Barkley is at the place where he realizes he can hang around for another 7-10 years as a back up. Heck Barkley can be Josh’s ‘ Frank Reich’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think he forgot about him so he wrote something negative. I think backup QBs have a few different roles. There's the clipboard/coaching piece, the spot game where you didn't prepare, and extended stretches. I like Barkley for the first 2 - the 3rd one would likely be ok at first and tail off as teams game planned for him.

SF Bills Fan Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 This guy is an idiot. He has AJ McCarron at 15 and he couldn't even make it as the Bill's 3rd stringer last year. Sadly, this guy collects a check for this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhit34 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Somewhere in the 14-18 range for Barkley seems about right if evaluating strictly play on the field which is what the list focuses on. He is very valuable off the field as Allen's mentor, may be top 5 for that. I'd take him as a mentor over Manning, Bortles, Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think a lot of times writers will pick topics like this because it sounds a little iff beat and different but then about half way in realize they bit off more than they could chew so they just start picking names and putting down the most recent bio information from the players Wikipedia article.

ngbills Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 We definitely over value Barkley. I dont mind him as a back up but remember he was sitting on a couch last year and was like the 6th guy the Bills called and one that not many other teams were calling. If the Bills cut him not sure how many other teams would drop their back up to pick him up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wasn’t “sitting on his couch”... the Bills signed him right after he was medically cleared to play; he was released with an injury designation from the Bengals. He literally was not able to sign anywhere before he was cleared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would not be a starter on other teams and not many would want him as their back up. And yes he was sitting on his couch when the Bills came looking. He said only the Bills reached out. Barkley was on an NFL roster during the preseason. He was with the Bengals and even played against Bills during the exhibition season. As things went, he was eventually released via injury settlement. After recovering, Barkley wanted back in the NFL. Too bad nobody wanted him. Until the Bills came calling.
