GolfandBills Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 8 minutes ago, 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. So he’s unable to learn a new system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'd still be okay drafting a kid too to develop too. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cle23 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 17 minutes ago, Mikie's Bills said: He had a weird season with Cleveland last year. Coaching staff had a tough time deciding whether to sit an injured Baker, play Keenum, they even resorted to playing Mullens over both of them at one point. They must feel just as confident with Mullens to fill in for a suspended Watson this season. Reading what Browns fans have to say and they are pretty similar talents but Mullens is cheaper. Edit: Nvm, see they signed Brissett Mullens played because Mayfield and Keenum had Covid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Go Buffalo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) This would be fine with me. Keenum already has some proven reps with Diggs....Minneapolis Miracle......so that's a plus.
