Rc2catch Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 He was a class act here. He made decent money, did his job and I think Allen is a better quarterback having him here the last couple years. Best of luck to him in his future. 13 1 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) I was one of the few that were Team Barkley in the 2013 Draft where we took EJ Manuel. Was a big fan of him in college and liked having him as our backup. You could tell he brought a lot to the locker room and especially Josh. Will always be a fan and will never forget him spinning around his coat during 'Renegade' in Pittsburgh. Thanks for everything, Matt. God speed!

BornAgainBillsFan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 All the best, Matt!! You've got a future as a QB coach in the league. And you'll never have to pay for a drink in Buffalo again. 🍺 By the way, what's your favorite charity??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinTheMagician Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Barkley has a place in Buffalo football history. Great teammate, class act. I was bummed about some stuff the day of that Jets game. I will never forget it. Go get 'em in whatever you do next Mr. Barkley. And thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Dude threw for like 240 yards with Zay Jones, Kelvin Benjamin and Deonte Thompson as WR in a game. He's all right in my book. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Loved his relationship with Josh. Hope it’s not a negative he’s gone. One of my favorite images is him during Renegade! Priceless!

(can't find the tweet now) If you've got a cool Barkley quip or clip, put 'er here (be nice, he was a good teammate) Thx for great post! Also Tasker mentioned on Buffalo fanatics YouTube show ( Rico host) this week how much Barkley’s wife did for the other players wives /so’s) during their time in Buffalo. She made them feel cared about and helped them adjust to the NFL/ Buffalo. So loss goes beyond Matt and affects culture here. Plus / minus on this move for just a one year stay will be determined, esp if ( hopefully) he doesn’t have to see the field. Tribusky with 29 NFL wins under his belt so that is something Matt didn’t have. Beane stressed we were a game away from SB , but hey if Barkley was good for last year , I find it hard to believe an insurance policy , no matter how good ( hey he will never be josh) gets you closer. Esp with d line not better with exception of star a year older. Beane did say they believe in our capacity to run with our guys but they will still look in draft at line, rb options and made a point lots of vets will be cut later as teams drafts come into play etc. Also thought same about pats going back to future of offense with gronk / Hernandez type 12 personel use. Said Frazier will need to Solve that! ( good luck cuz our D response to kc twice was not Einstein like !)

LEBills Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 His last pass as a Buffalo Bill was a 56 yard touchdown to Gabe Davis to finish the Fish beatdown week 17. Not too shabby, Matt.

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A truly good person and incredible teammate. I completely understand why the team made the move, but it still sucks to see him go. I think the idea is thrown around too often, but if they could keep him around in some sort of coaching or assistant role, I think he would be great. If he has any interest in that sort of thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 He was great to have hear as our back-up QB, and our best cheerleader.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Great teammate, role model and mentor for Josh. Unfortunately not a great arm or QB. But Barkley was a lovable guy who embraced Buffalo and that gets respect. I hope Mitch can have the same attitude because he is a serious upgrade at QB#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Guy is a class act. Good luck Matt. You did great for us and the team. Maybe he can go Fitzy and extend his career. From Wikipedia: Personal life[edit] Barkley's cousin, Robbie Boyer, was a walk-on at USC during Barkley's freshman, sophomore, and junior years.[2] Barkley's younger siblings, twins Sam and Lainy, attend USC.[101] Barkley is a Christian. During Christmas 2008, Barkley went with a group of friends and family to help run an orphanage in South Africa.[13][17] For Christmas 2010, he spent his winter break in Nigeria "visiting orphans, widows, villagers and prisoners, doing construction work, distributing supplies and gifts and sharing daily fellowship."[102] In 2012, Barkley led a group of 16 USC football teammates to Haiti, where they built houses and delivered more than 2,000 pounds of supplies for orphanages and schools.[103] He appears on I Am Second, sharing the story of his Christian faith and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.[104] At the beginning of his USC career, Barkley befriended former USC Olympian, World War II prisoner of war and inspirational speaker Louis Zamperini.[3] Barkley married his high school sweetheart Brittany Langdon, a year after he graduated from USC, in July 2013.[105] In December 2014, she announced via Twitter she was pregnant.[106] Their son was born in 2015.[107] 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninja Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 That ***** eating grin he had on his face when Josh was getting a talking to from McD for getting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty will always make me laugh. Also his hilariously wide open TD to Dion Dawkins in that Jets game to just really rub it in that they were getting torched by our backup QB who had been in the building maybe a week. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
