Buffaloflash Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Time is growing short. We are in dire need of a competent backup for this team. Who is out there, that if we need to break the glass, can hold the fort down until 17 can retake the reins? 1 2 1 3 Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted August 5 Posted August 5 How many NFL teams are fine playing the backup? 2 Quote
947 Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Will Levis seems to be one of the best options. He's 3rd on Tennessee's depth chart, and they just paid Mitch so he's PS at best for them. He's athletic & reportedly has matured. I'd be on board with getting him, and it's about time we got a longer-term backup. 13 4 1 1 Quote

Bruffalo Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Kyle Allen is here to play golf with Josh. They aren't replacing him. If Allen is hurt for more than two games they'll just bring someone in mid season. 2 2 1 1 Quote
4th&long Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I can’t figure out why they don’t draft a develop qb behind Allen? He would be on a cost controlled rookie contract and he can’t be any worse than the guys they have on the roster now. And if by chance they develop a decent qb they could have trade bait. 4 5 1 Quote

If Josh misses a month it’s potentially tragic. I agree with @Bruffalothough. If Josh is going to miss even a game, someone not in camp now will be starting the following week. 2 1 1 Quote

But, I want someone on the team now, that can seamlessly keep the offense on track. Edited August 5 by Buffaloflash 1 Quote

I'm curious to see who Cleveland cuts as well. They have 4. Watson, the 2 they drafted last year and one this year. Will be interesting. 1 1 Quote

He literally keeps saying how he thinks he's one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world and how he should be starting You don't want a back up like that 3 2 Quote
NickelCity Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I'm already frustrated with the idea of trying to try to learn anything about Skyler Bell from the preseason games with Kyle Allen "running the offense" 2 Quote

If that’s the case, then he is never, ever, never coming here. Quote

I would frankly not mind it Levis is on the last year of his rookie deal, let him develop in the system this year bring him back for a added one year deal so he “develops” more in a good system and maybe gets another bite at the apple to start or a bigger backup contract like Mitch Quote
