I thought he was 5 golden rings. He was a class act here, and when we needed him in that Jets game, he was awesome destroying them. Mitch is probably the better QB. I was a little surprised he took the offer as he has zero chance to get on the field unless Josh is hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Barkley absolutely dismantling the Jets was one of my favorite games in the last three years. All the best Matt, you're what the Bills are all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite Barkley stories was that spider he found in his basement.

Punching Bag Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 He got paid, got a reputation as dependable and a good teammate, had very few injuries and was respected by his teammates and coaches. He has a chance as backup QB especially on a team with a QB with not much professional experience if he is still interested. Maybe even a PS player if the rules remain the same. Good luck.

folz Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks Matt...you're a class act and we were proud to have you on the Bills! Thanks for everything you did for Josh and the team! Two-and-a-half seasons is not a long time, but you'll forever be a Bill to us. The best of luck to you and your family going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see them letting him go until next year. Never can tell, maybe he becomes happier as a backup on a WINNING team! Depends on Fromms development as well. I am not even sure Beane will trade him next year since he’s on a one year deal and can probably just walk unless we get huge cap relief to somehow extend him first, as a backup. The one grace saving scenario regarding paying for our backup more than expected would be if a certain Qb sustained an acl injury running, fighting instead of going down , the whole season might remain viable. TB12 had one bad season like that, ***** happens. But on topic, no way I see them let him go this year for anything reasonable cuz he was brought here for one reason only , keep hopes of SB alive should our starter be out 3-4 weeks. You don’t trade that away before the trade deadline as playoff scenarios won’t be set by then. However , if a starter elsewhere goes down and they offer us an edge like jj watt, plus a tackle or elite rb, and next years first,,,,,thanks for your service Mitch ! Fromm, you can stand on the sideline this year as well! 😀👍😈. More it sinks in, the more I see it as another slick Beane move. Man, that guy is hard to not love; transparent as much as possible, empathetic ( made sure to call Matt and explain whole scenario BEFORE THEY DID IT ), is very open and affable with the press Corp ( compare a presser with him compared to the B###hy Belicheck) is available to fans, is available to players according to J po ( Hyde’s nickname for poyer) as he is down on the practice field all the time, set out his franchise building plan and stuck to it , looks good in sunglasses and a suit, etc! Also of great importance is he gets along well with Mcd with a shared vision of team and culture. Was even open about trade value ( both need to feel a little uncomfortable) , and did mention they talked to gronks people. NO OFFER was ever made tho as he said “it would be an upset for gronk to leave Tom”! Wonder if wifey TB12 fits same odds category!? So obviously things with Eagles are not fair yet in Beanes eyes for ertz. If you didn’t catch the Beane / Mcd presser on YouTube , it is worth 25 min with great insight.

SF Bills Fan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 His goodbye tweet is getting lots of love from the Mafia and fans. I remember the the tweet he put out when he found that huge spider in his closet in Buffalo a few years back. That just popped in my head for some reason.

machine gun kelly Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 C’mon Gugs, that was funny. I actually loved all the light stuff with the snowball fight, the Xmas song, and so on. It kept them loose through the first two rounds of the playoffs. Barkley was what this team needed for three years. He helped in 2018 when Allen went down. I’m thankful for that piece and Mitch is an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too shabby, Matt. Thanks for helping Josh the last few years. Good luck in the future. And wasn’t one his last handoffs that long touchdown run by Singletary? If I recall correctly it was his only play in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trubisky is the perfect chip to throw in for a team in need of a bridge QB that has a veteran pass rusher it is willing to deal. Trying to win it all without a premium edge rusher is more difficult than trying to win it all without a premium backup QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv001 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I don't know what the market is for Barkley in the League. But if he doesn't get backup offers, why not bring him back to compete for the third QB spot on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Great guy and sorry to see him go! I do feel better with Trubs as our backup though, God forbid if we lost Allen for any period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakin Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Josh is the QB who he is at least, in small part, owing to Barkley. I believe that. Good luck Bark Bark Bark.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Eh. Great dude but he was a terrible qb who was barely nfl level who got paid millions of dollars to play on a really good team. Wish him well but he got paid a lot more than he was worth. In other words, I’m super jealous haha. 1 hour ago, Charles Romes said: Trubisky is the perfect chip to throw in for a team in need of a bridge QB that has a veteran pass rusher it is willing to deal.
