Even a couple he had that were almost picked, I really didn't have a problem with. Interceptions happen sometimes when you let it rip. One in particular was on 3rd and 10 from I believe our 40 and he threw one to around the 20 that the Jets defender dropped. I'm cool with that even if it's picked, it's basically a punt. He took some chances and gave our WR's some opportunities to make plays. This is how we should always be playing, especially in a developmental season like this. Yeah like you say he gave our receivers chances to make plays
TheFunPolice Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Good for Barkley and now I guess we need to put in a game or two for show until he plays like he has his entire career. No big deal but its what we have to do so there's no controversy when Allen comes in
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Barkley provided what Peterman was supposed to . This season would be so different if we had two more wins. Edited November 12, 2018 by Buffalo Barbarian
BillsFan1988 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I think the biggest thing from this gm is we werent coached to look like we were scared of our own shadow. Team looked like they wanted to take calculated risks. Hopefully Mcd has turned the corner.
CSBill Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Something to consider--I think it was implied above--the Bengals choose to go with Barkley over McCarron as their back-up. His injury derailed that process. I think he is a career low-level starter, but high on the 2nd string QB scale; that is, he is good to have around when you need him, but never going to be a franchise QB. So, get him signed for the long hall, keep him as insurance for Allen, and get Allen back on the field when he is healthy--he is the one QB on the roster who can lead this team to the promised land. Will he or not? Who knows? But we have to give him the chance.
bills11 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) I will say this..I was really impressed with his mechanics and the throw to Zay in the end zone that was the best tight window throw all year. Nonetheless we may have found our long term backup that's a positive Edited November 12, 2018 by bills11 1

Kudos sir!! Thanks Ferguson. When I saw him in 8th grade playing against my son’s team I knew. 1

It was known to be the first play of the game probably by Wednesday. You don't think they practiced it? It was a fly pattern up the sideline to a guy who easily beat his man. He could not have ever heard of Robert Foster and would know that if it is to his inside shoulder it's a TD. Some good points, but practice squad players do not get 1st team reps. Assuming your analysis is correct on the pass,, what QB on the team would have made a better throw? I'd still keep Barkley starting while he's hot.
mjohns85 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 When did they announce Barkley as the starter against the Jets? I didn’t realize it until the game kicked off. I frequent this board dozens of times per week, but hadn’t checked it since late last week.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 12, 2018 Author Posted November 12, 2018 A QB that was barely recruited and struggled at Wyoming? A guy who did very little against severely inferior college competition? A guy that has a lot of physical ability but lacks most of the fundamentals that will allow a QB to be accurate? A guy who struggled to separate himeself from Mountain West competition? The most heavily scrutinized qb in the draft class and the one labeled most likely to bust? Or the high school player of the year, all world recruit. 4 year starter at USC playing in big games against big time teams? Very successful college career. Projected top 10 pick in 2012. Highly polished. Highly intelligent.... When you actually look at what this is, outside of arm talent alone (which is very overrated) Why would Allen be more likely to pan out then Barkley? They both have almost the same amount of starts. Barkley has always been behind established starters and never got a real chance to start. Everyone is making up their mind that Barkley’s ceiling is a good backup, but why?
SoCal Deek Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Because 90% of this Board has decided that USC cannot produce a starting NFL QB....where as they all know that Wyoming is a QB Factory! 1
