C.Biscuit97 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Honestly, this is probably the best case backup. Not good enough anymore to be a threat (Unlike Winston and Cam) but still much better than Barkley and has won a lot of games in this league. It actually makes too much sense to happen. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) No!!!! There is more to being an NFL backup than simply being the next man up. These guys spend hours together breaking down film and working out together. It's an important relationship. We have a young ascending but not yet established QB. Bringing in a big name QB only puts more pressure on Josh and he doesn't need that. People need to stop making a thread everytime they think of some sort of backup that should be added to the Bills . Think first . Edited March 19, 2020 by DJB 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He feel off the cliff fast. But If he embraces the backup role, he could help Josh. And He could possibly win you some games in a pinch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mc1320 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I live in Baltimore and would expect Flacco to retire, I don’t see him being a journeyman backup. He has his ring and boatloads of cash as a result of his Super Bowl run. Plus Scam Newton and Winston would probable be first choices for teams looking for backups to push their current starters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I would take him as the back up. To me it comes down to if Josh goes down, who do you have more faith in winning a couple of games-Flacco or Barkley. Personally I would have a lot more confidence in Flacco going 2-2 over a 4 game stretch with the weapons the Bills have than Barkley. Watching Barkley in the New England game for me last year was hard. Very likable guy, supports Josh, but I feel Flacco has more talent 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Lol at Flacco . Come on people, did we see the disaster he’s been? Why is he an upgrade over Barkley? Cause he won a super bowl 10 years ago? He has been a shell of that player for years. I would prefer to sign Jeff George or Kelly Holcomb before Flacco. Leave Barkley alone, he can win a game or two if Allen is hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Flacco makes sense as a backup IMO. I would have more confidence in him starting if Josh got hurt than Barkley, but also would never feel like Flacco should ever start OVER a healthy Josh. Most importantly, he has playoff and Super Bowl winning experience to share with Josh when we make our post season push this year. I would more than welcome a Flacco signing as a back up upgrade. Nothing against Barkely, like him as a person, but he really hasn't shown much when he had to play outside that one first game against the Jets in 2018. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers and Brady are going to make $50,000,000 combined as starters on playoff contenders next season. Matt Barkley has been in the league since 2013 and has 2 wins in his career. He’s barely played, and when he has he’s thrown more than twice as many INTs as TDs. He’s the NFL equivalent of a white flag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
