I mean the 2 best by far were Orton and Fitz. I’m not sure I understand the list. It’s just any Bills backups lately or?

Orton and Fitz were starters. Manuel was never a bona fide starter so i included him.

 

this was going back to 2015 for any non-regular starting QB besides Manuel.

You’re trippin saying “these QBs would be at their peak” then ranking Vince Young that low. Can’t be serious!

i should have made that clear.

 

i simply went through rosters going back to 205 (i think)

ok I that wasn’t made clear to me from the post. Following the rules I’d say

 

1) Vince Toung

2) Case Keenum

Vince Young had a few years peaking. EJ Manuel had a few games where he peaked. It's a tough list. Keenum at his peak is better than Trubisky at his average.

I must go back a bit further in history for my #1 choice - Dan Manucci! We were completely dead in the water if Joe Ferguson had to be out of the lineup in the early 80's with this guy as our #2. 

 

Seriously though - Fitz must be the best back-up option in more recent years - with Frank Reich being the obvious best back-up QB in team history.

Because this is very objective we will specifically make it as in rank the best QB to backup Josh Allen.

 

Rate your top 2 backup QB's you'd want behind Josh. If you want to do them as an entire ranking, be my guest. As part of the hypothetical, these QB's would be at their peak.

 

1) Kyle Allen

2) Matt Barkley

3) Davis Webb

4) Case Keenum

5) Mitch Trubisky

6) Derek Anderson

7) Nate "the GOAT" Peterman

😎 Joe Webb

9) EJ Manuel

10) Cardale Jones 

11) Matt Cassell

12) Kevin Colb (edit: his name would matter if he didn't get his ass kicked by a rubber mat)

13) Matt Leinert

14) Vince Young

15) Honorary Buffalo Bills John Skelton

 

For bonus points: how many games in a 4 game stretch do you think they could win?

 

At their peak? 

 

1. Case Keenum (he wasn't at his peak when he was here so he wouldn't be my top ranked on performance here); 

2. Probably Mitch Trubisky

 

At his peak with this roster given an average 4 game run Case could go 3-1. Trubisky 2-2.

It has to be Mitch.    Given that the game plan is tailored for Josh, he's the only one with the closest skill set across the board.

 

I'd like Fitz also just because the guy will go down fighting.

When was he primarily a backup for the Bills in the last 10 years?

 

I went 10 years back and listed all available backup QB's and a few that were briefly rostered.
