GolfandBills Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 On 3/19/2022 at 8:46 PM, Hapless Bills Fan said: My only concern with Keenum as a backup is that I looked through his NFL history and he's been 100% a WCO type of QB. For those who don't know, there are two main lineages of NFL offenses West Coast and Erhardt-Perkins, and while they both run many of the same play concepts, the verbiage used to describe and call the plays is very different. While in theory, a smart QB should be able to map the new terminology onto his existing knowledge, in practice it's apparently a helluva lotta work, so veteran backups who bounce around the league tend to stay in one or the other system. Expand So he’s unable to learn a new system? Quote
YoloinOhio Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) He’s a higher end Barkley which is fine. Very professional, great work ethic, etc etc Edited March 19, 2022 by YoloinOhio 1 Quote

Expand This is just an educated guess and I'm not Yolo, but my thinking is that Brissett may be closer to Watson in playing style (he has some wheels). It may also be a chemistry thing, maybe Brissett trains off season with some of the same guys as Watson and they've developed a rapore. Quote

I'd still be okay drafting a kid too to develop too. Expand Signing Keenum and rumored intention to add Barkley is as close as you can get to Beane spelling out "Bills Will Not Draft a QB" in 10 foot high letters on a beach. 1 1 Quote
Success Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Solid. He's one of the best backups out there. Quote
