alluro Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It looks like Jameis Winston may be relegated to backup duties this year, and the Bills will be in the hunt for a playoff run. My contention is we need a solid backup behind Josh Allen, especially with how reckless he is with his body. Having Jameis would give us a nice safety net if the worst case scenario should arise, or if Allen proves he just doesn't have it after a good portion of the season goes by. Why not bring him in as a nice insurance policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I am against bringing him in as a backup for 2 reasons: 1) Unless he has matured, he has shown in the past to be an immature guy. He's not the type of "process" guy that would fit in well in the Bills' locker room. Part of the secret to the Bills' success is team chemistry. 2) Winston has talent and looks great at times. If Allen gets injured and is out for a couple of games, Winston could step in and play really well. Now, when Allen comes back, you have a QB controversy that disrupts the team chemistry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I think i would rather go with some one like Josh Rosen yep i said it he hasn't been in any situation that was any where near stable enough for him to grow at all & given the perceived short comings of our Josh being his accuracy this could be a plus . Coming out Rosen was one of the most accurate passers in college he also had a decent arm in AZ he had no O line to protect him he was getting killed & what good can you say about the Fins Fitz had all he could do to win 5 games so to this point the guy hasn't had a decent chance to settle in at all ! Josh Allen now has all the toys to give him a legit chance to be a really good NFL QB but if his short comings wind up being what they thought they were he could be the Bills next EJ & Barkley would not be a consideration for the Bills future if Rosen could be a really cheap pick up there is although it being a small chance a chance that he could possibly have the stability to pull off showing more than what he has to this point . IMHO !! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO !! He's already better than EJ, though. I don't think havign someone on the roster that Josh has to look over his shoulder at is a good idea for his development.

IMHO !! I'd agree with this. Winston has ZERO desire to improve. At the end of season press conference he said, "look at my stats, I'm balling." Yeah, 30 INT's is NOT balling. Rather get someone with an arm that wants to improve. Winston would be okay as a backup I suppose, but he'd be pouting all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Upgrading backup QB really needs to be a consideration. I dont know if Winston is the right fit but we need a guy who can come in off the bench and win a game if needed and then potentially start a couple weeks. I don't think Barkley is that guy. As much as he stinks, Blake Bortles might be an option, he and Allen are similar and you wouldn't have to change the offense much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I think he's probably too good to be an ideal backup for Allen. It's fine to be looking for an upgrade from Barkley, but we probably don't want a legitimate starter either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a million times better than Barkley but it would be a problem first game Allen starts or if Winston out plays him in camp. they definitely need better as a backup though.

Can we stop with this “process” nonsense? We literally just traded for Diggs who was disgruntled and quit on his team. We were linked to AB last year. Talking about process and character is fine when you’re just hired and trying to turn a roster over but clearly McD and BB are willing to take on guys who have some warts.

Winston is a moron but he is one of the most talented guys in the nfl. Barkley’s best skill is he’s a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 He isn’t a fit for the culture of our locker room. He’s going to want to start, so could make him worse in the locker room. Bills fans are not mature enough to handle this kind of back up QB. First incomplete pass by Allen people would be crying to put Winston in. I know this is true as I watched people many times idiotically clamor to bench Josh for Barkley during games that we were behind in...yet still won...thanks to Josh. Bills fans don’t deserve a better backup than Barkley, they can’t handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
