After Barkely, Leinart, and Darnold, I am not in favor of drafting USC QB's high. That aside, I don't think Barkley sucks. He's a good NFL 3rd string QB and potentially decent 2nd string QB. He lacks physical ability, but he can learn an offense and can mentor younger guys. He's a class act and a great teammate. I also believe he could do OK as a spot starter with time to prepare by getting the reps in practice, as he did vs. the Jests a few years ago. He also played well in relief against Miami in the finale last year, but again, he knew he would be playing. He's not great coming in cold off the bench and I don't think he can carry a team for an extended string of games and certianly not for an entire season, which is exactly why the Bills moved on and signed Trubisky. I wish him well and hope him signing with a rival won't come back to haunt the Bills much. I don't think it will. Now Kizer, he sucks. All those usc guys played in a different system than the current, I think. Not sure about Darnold, did he play for Helton? Anyway, not sure how long Helton will be there either so I guess what I’m saying is the only thing they have in common is the helmet. Well, Leinart and Barkley both went to mater dei HS. But so did bama’s current QB1 Edited August 5, 2021 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cassel was also the official starter for that one game in Rex's first season - a game that we won though he did not register a pass attempt. I think old timers might remember Brain McClure's lone winning start as well. I have to research the Cassel game, he won and didnt throw a pass? He must have been replaced fairly early.

BuffaloBillyG Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good dude. Wish him well. I really don't think anyone was as big a Josh Allen fan as he was. Great teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the one where he was credited with the start because Tuhrod lined up at WR on the 1st play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally was just under center for the first play of the game So he got credited with the start 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have been replaced fairly early. IIRC the first play of the Game Cassel was under center and Tyrod was split out wide. That counts as a start at QB for Cassel and a start at WR for TT.

skibum Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good for him. I love it when good guys with a little less God-given talent can manage to stick around. Even the lowest-paid player on an NFL roster is making serious bank compared to the rest of us schmucks. Matt showed he can handle himself on an NFL field, and was a great teammate.
