The best is probably Bortles, but it seems they're fine with Barkley and will probably go with Fromm if it looks like Josh will miss a significant portion of the season. Duly noted. See? Atta boy...

You just went from Barkley wins wins those 5 games to Josh has a "good shot" at winning those games to the Bills would probably go with Fromm over Barkely. Your fastest flip ever. I'm impressed. lol...."shine box". OK, Spider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenum and Hoyer, probably. I'd guess that if Flacco cant start he will retire pretty quickly, for example. Well, maybe I'm wrong about Flscco. Had forgotten he went to the Jets.

billsfan89 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) If almost any team in the league loses its starting QB they are *****. There are very few teams in the league that have quality backup options. Outside of maybe a team with an established vet in front of a highly touted QB or a fluky situation like the Eagles where there is one QB in the league that functions so well with that team but nowhere else. The Bills even did invest a 5th round pick in the position this past draft to try and add a developmental prospect to the QB room. Is Barkley a top tier backup QB? No, no he is not, but can he be trusted to go 2-2 in a 4 game stretch managing games if Josh has to miss a month of the season? Yes, I think he is a serviceable backup. I also think beyond him being a decent backup QB, Barkley is beloved in the locker room and won't rock Josh's confidence. Backup QB is fine, Fromm is the long term guy 2 years from now, Barkley is fine for 2020 and 2021. Edited August 18, 2020 by billsfan89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am intrigued as to what makes you think that? He is 2-5 as a starter. 10 touchdowns, 25 turnovers. That doesn't scream .500 football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I guess I was foolish for thinking we could go at least a couple weeks without this horse getting beaten again. You're just abusing a bag of glue at this point. Throw in a couple original "Patriots get a compensation pick" jokes and a derailment into a Covid squabble and we'll have the original thread trifecta. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 It’s going to be hard to keep 3QBs and 2 kickers. But we have high drafted rookies in both positions. Not sure they thought that one through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My bad 1Man, the fruit was just so low, couldn’t help myself ) 14 hours ago, GunnerBill said: I have named the 9 I'd have had interest in this year. The dream for next year is that we bring Fitz home. His last ride in the NFL backing up Josh on a Bills team that can contend for a championship. That would be pretty cool. If not him then the likes of Dalton and Brissett would meet the criteria. If Fitzy’s spin cycle holds up, then he should be available just in time, right? Also, he could provide some solid beard support which Josh also needs . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this team's elite defense, solid special teams, hopefully strong running game and solid skill position talent I think Barkley can game manage this team to .500. Context is key. The 2-5 record probably wasn't with nearly as strong a team. Is Barkley generally speaking a .500 QB? No but on this team he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Gunner As you can tell, I take a lot of cues from Belichick. What you say about a veteran quality backup makes sense. It's interesting that that hasn't been Belichick's approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like your woman cheats on you all the time but you keep forgiving her. But now, because you bought her a better house and got her a ring, she will suddenly be an awesome partner? Sometimes you need to go with the overwhelming evidence that Matt Barkley is a nice guy but is barely a nfl qb. His arm in a windy day in November will be an absolute disaster.
