If they didn’t believe in Love, they would be doing everything possible to make Rodgers come back. I think Love is going to be an absolute star. That kid is incredibly talented If they thought anything of Love at all, they would have moved on from Rodgers last year when they would have gotten a haul and not had to sign him to that huge extension. Love didn't suddenly become good between last offseason and this offseason. He still sucks. The difference is the Packers are tired of Rodgers...coudln't win with him last year and can't put or keep a good roster around him with his paycheck.....that's too much to put up with his shananigans for. They want to be done with him. Has nothing to do with Love.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane, no team would have done that Rodgers missed most practices last year on Wednesday with his thumb injury, so Love has played alot in practice. When he came in against the Eagles last year he was slinging that ball. Love is gonna be a star. Packers are done with Rodgers becuase they already know Love can do it. I bet he wins the division outright next year and they win a playoff game with Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have the weapons around JA that we need, we should be able to eek out a .500 if JA misses time. 44 minutes ago, Big Turk said: Yeah it would. What's the point of winning games with a backup QB if there is no shot at doing anything once we get in the playoffs or even if we get to the playoffs. Having an unnaturally high pick due to QB injury is why Cincy was able to get Chase. I get this point. But I'd argue you can win the SB with a backup. SF nearly made it, and the Giants beat us in 25. Other teams have won SBs with backup level QBs (Eagles recently). It's hard to do, but that's why I'd go with a rookie backup. You could win, and if you don't, you get a Jamar Chase type in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figster Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) I'm sure everyone knows by now who I want for Bills backup QB. Chan Gailey quit coaching completely in the NFL because he couldn't have Ryan Fitzpatrick running the Gailey Offense. If you want added innovation/ wrinkles to the Bills O, Fitzpatrick can help. If you want a student of the game that can assist Josh Allen real time against the oppositions D, Fitzpatrick can be that bearded guy. If you want a Bills backup QB that can step in and win when needed. Fitzpatrick has won many football games in the NFL. Last, but not least. If you want a man that really loves the city of Buffalo and loves Josh Allen, Ryan Fitzpatrick Fits the Bills.

Beck Water Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 14 minutes ago, boyst said: I am surprised this is not a conversation already being had because it is an important decision. We have seen next to nothing on links and possibilities. Does anyone have any ideas? I would love to see Mitch cut and come back. Why, on "love to see Mitch"? Canonically, we want a backup who can come into a game or start a couple games and give us a 50/50 chance to win. Overall, that's what we had with Keenum. Statistically, that's what we'd have with Mitch, but frankly, he played like a Lost Boy for Pittsburgh last season. Did not look like a guy who can lead a team at all, whereas I had a sense that the team would have followed Keenum, they knew he couldn't make the throws that Allen could but they trusted his head for the game.

Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 A Buffalo Bills 7th round pick late in the draft saving on unnecessary cap space. Because if the Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen gets hurt it’s over anyway. So I wouldn’t use a lot of money for a position that doesn’t play and if the Bills had Josh Allen go down we can find a QB off the couch who hadn’t been signed in the offseason. So why spend money on a problem that the Bills may never need would be a problem in the first place is how I would look at it. No veteran minimum salary. The Bills need to use there money on difference makers on this team like get a WR Odell Beckham JR. Stop wasting money on punter, backup quarterback just a waste of resources the little cap space we do have in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP was talking about Trubisky...as to Keenum, he's been in the league ten years. I don't think he can or should be written off based on a quarter or two of preseason football and a handful of garbage time snaps in a regular season blowout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If the Buffalo Bills would have signed Geno Smith as a backup in 2021 for $1.2M the vast majority of this board would have mocked OBD. What is showed to me is that a "bad" starter who has been in the league for some time can play good football. Rookies can be a "diamond in the rough" but I would rather have a guy who has started a number of games earlier in his career and now is willing to take the backup role for very reasonable money. Having that guy in your system and playing year after year in preseason games and at camp and practice only makes sense to me. Consistency with the backup will benefit everyone over changing them year after year. The Bills don't need an "older" mentor for Josh. Actually, they need a guy similar in age for JA to work with. An ideal guy would be someone who would play with similar traits as Josh. Drew Lock, Kyle Allen and there are others, should work out nicely. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzpatrick has had plenty of time for his hip to heal. Playing as backup to Josh Allen its unlikely Fitz even plays with the exception of mop up IMO. Fitz's reason for not wanting to backup Allen in the past has more to do with Allens health then his own. Fitz is afraid he will jinx Josh Allen. Myself personally, Fitzpatricks knowledge of reading D's and as a student of the game can help keep Allen safe and productive real time in a football game. You make a good point however in not knowing as a fan of Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bills where he's at in life both physically and mentally.
