I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills put in a waiver claim for Chris Streveler who was released by the Jets yesterday. 

 

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.

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.

Quick without google name the backups for Mahomes, Burrow and Hurts? 

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?"

  1. Minnesota  Vikings (2014–2017)

  2. New York Jets (2018) (PS only)

  3. New Orleans Saints (2018–2019)

  4. Carolina Panthers (2020)

  5. Denver Broncos (2021)

  6. Miami Dolphins (2022)

  7. Detroit Lions (2023–present)

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.

 

Bridgewater was the last safe clear upgrade, unfortunately. The list that remains all have questions marks when it comes to age and/or performance. Here's the entire list of Free Agents who are still available:

 

Carson Wentz

Matt Ryan

Joe Flacco

Chase Daniel

Nick Foles

Cam Newton

Bryce Perkins

EJ Perry

Tim DeMorat

He would have been a huge upgrade over what we have. Wonder how much he got 

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. 

5/7 for 23 and a TD

 

 so let's not downplay it either. That drive started at their own 2

It will be fine. If Tua gets knocked unconscious they will just say his back hurts and he will be back out there the next series anyways.

 

Be kinda funny if he got his bell rung and then pulled a Jim Marshall.

There's also been reports that he's unpopular wherever he goes. Why bring that in here for a backup QB who isn't that much better?


Wentz strikes me as someone very talented who chokes and makes boneheaded plays at the wrong time. 
 

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.

Chad Kelly 🤪

Don't bet on your last minute addition to BillsFanForever19's list, 'I'm Spartacus'.  The Argos have Chaddy boy booked for the Grey Cup and the parade thereafter. 😁
