Gugny Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 We could sign the best available backup. If Josh Allen goes down, the Bills are dead. Period. Bigger fish to fry. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main criteria the team is looking for in a Bills backup QB is that he’s very cheap. Maybe we can draft someone with a late pick.

You'd rather have Kyle Allen? I think Trubisky is better than he is. We're not going to get a great Backup. They're few and far between and are backups for a reason. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger fish to fry. Disagree slightly on bigger fish to fry. Mitch fit in pretty well with Josh when he was here and seems he'll come cheap and a better option than Kyle. If Josh goes down long term we're toast, but Mitchell (or someone better if they can find a cheap alternative) could conceivably get us by a few games. And for that it's pretty important to have a better backup than what is currently there. imho 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoots8 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Could do a lot better, could do a bit worse. i think we have enough playmakers to survive a game or two. If we had to rely on a backup for significant time the season is over and we could use the better pick in the draft. I can live with one season of suck if it meant getting talent that would be much more valuable on rookie deals. I hope we don’t ever have to, but that’s the truth of the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Need to take a flyer from the 5th+ on a Purdy-like prospect.

wppete Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 $500k a year and not a penny more. Or Just draft a QB in the Mid rounds. We are wasting a lot of money on backup QBs. The truth is if Josh gets hurt then this team is done no backup can fill in for Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) 1 hour ago, Gugny said: We could sign the best available backup. If Josh Allen goes down, the Bills are dead. Period. Bigger fish to fry. Sort of true. I think there's guys out there that could keep the boat afloat until Josh comes back. If he's done for the year though, yeah, I don't see anyone there winning us a Super Bowl. But the best Backup's are surely going to be signed by guys who are Drafting a Rookie this season as a Bridge QB or insurance in the event that they deem they're not ready. Or as guys who can compete or provide insurance to QB's who are underperforming. That list includes Gardner Minshew, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Huntley. But even if those guys were available to be true Backup's, their price tag is going to be more than we're willing to spend on that role given our cap situation and the amount of holes we have to fill. Outside of that list, you're looking at guys like Jameis Winston, Tyrod Taylor, Jacoby Brissett, Sam Darnold, Marcus Mariota, Teddy Bridgewater, and Joe Flacco. Probably some guys on that list that will cost more than we're willing to pay too. Edited February 13 by BillsFanForever19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYfan Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 We need a developmental QB with a big arm. Whether the 2 is K. Allen or Trubisky doesn't matter that much to me. But I would like to see a 3 who can rocket a football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Find a physical QB who can play WR who appears to have good hands for catching snaps to reduce chances of fumble. Maybe that QB can do the run up middle as well. Saves a roster space. Make sure there is a candidate on PS squad for injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
