whorlnut Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 One thing we all have to be aware of…it seems everywhere Fitz has gone as a backup, the starter always seems to get hurt. I LOVE Fitz, but he always seems to find himself starting games no matter where he goes.  Be very careful if you want Fitz as a backup. Haha. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Foothills Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Just seeing the topic I figured Fitzmagic would get a lot of run. His is certainly one of the first names that comes to mind. Â That said, Fitz is unlike any QB in the league. Arguably each year brings him closer to firm backup status but he possibly still views himself as a starter. I think the last time he was firmly a backup was at the beginning of his career backing up Carson Palmer. Since then he's started a lot of games and made a lot of money. Â On top of that he's a bit of a minor celebrity (especially around WNY) and me thinks that McDermott would be wary of a backup who has a nickname and does things like taking his shirt off at Bills games, chowing down the 72 ounce steak at The Big Texan, etc. Â I could be very wrong about this but my instinct is that McDermott would prefer someone who doesn't attract attention and keeps a low profile. Â JMO. Edited February 19, 2022 by Sierra Foothills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures that Carolina would pay a back up 18 million dollars   Darnold is a terrible QB who's not worth wasting a roster spot on. If he wasn't a top 5 draft pick, he wouldn't have been on any team's active roster last season.  I'd look for a younger backup QB who's showed some promise like Kyle Allen or Gardner Minshew or Tyler Huntley.  I don't know if any of these are FAs but these would be the type I'd like the Bills to look at: guys who can be at least competent starters for a few games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 We'll see how it shakes out...Thing is, College is going to keep pumping in QB's that will be drafted and make Rosters. They may not all be great, or even decent, but they take jobs. And guys like Trubisky fall through the cracks. Plus the Bills QB room is a pretty sweet gig if you're a back-up...The Bills will have a decent QB 2 and 3. Just have no idea right now who they will be...
