I'm Spartacus Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Isn't there anybody out there better than K. Allen and Barkley? Beane should consider drafting a mid round QB to groom as a above average backup to Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane should consider drafting a mid round QB to groom as a above average backup to Josh. At this point of the off-season, no. Those cupboards are pretty bare. There's a couple guys people have "heard of" such as Carson Wentz or Matt Ryan, but neither are a likely answer. Beane did draft a QB in the 5th a few years back. Jake Fromm. That...didn't work out so well. At this point of the off season the most likely choices for the Bills if they feel they need an upgrade would be either a trade or to watch the waiver wire and see if anyone comes available. In the case of a trade, finding a quality backup that has a contract they can work with becomes an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Bills situation the last two years much more than this year. Let’s settle down the Henne played well. He had 23 yards on 7 attempts. But he didn’t completely crap himself I guess. But that easily could have cost them a SB. I just don’t get why these teams settle on backups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blows. He has no arm and will only get signed by a team if they are really desperate to add a QB to the roster.

ColoradoBills Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Every year there are a number of teams that don't even have a decent QB1 let alone quality backups. The few quality QBs that have accepted the role of backup don't come cheap. It's a dice role when these guys are called up. Kyle Allen needs to put on his big boy pants and get his head right. It's one of the few things I want to watch in the preseason. Edited August 8, 2023 by ColoradoBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ryan Fitzpatrick of his generation. Not yet on his 7th. I knew a fellow Harvard alumni of Ryan Fitzpatrick who has a professionally sewed patchwork jersey (none are China gate) with 1/8 of a jersey from each of the first 8 teams he played for. When I asked what he is going to do now that he has signed for 9th team his response was "Get a helmet?"

A great backup QB is usually the opposite: not as physically gifted as great starting QBs, but mentally stable, like a coach on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
