LSHMEAB Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 6 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: If he's a legit backup, that's still a nice addition. We need one. No doubt. It's not a bad thing to find a viable backup QB in the middle of the season. Just trying to keep it in proper perspective. We've seen true garbage at QB and what kind of toll that takes on a team. 1 1
Jobot Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 37 minutes ago, Elite Poster said: Yesterday was 2 dropped INT away from being a very average to below average game. Exactly this. My take from watching the game is he's too aggressive for having a below average arm. Yesterday's performance would be considered an outlier if he were to play this way over a longer stretch. 1

Barkley had so much time to throw yesterday You don't need to tell me about Teller. Been a fan since the draft. Still, his decisiveness was a major factor in the lack of QB pressures.
Fan in Chicago Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Yesterday was a totally fun game with I was not expecting. But it was enjoyable in large part due to Barkley. I started watching half expecting a Peterman-type performance but was pleasantly surprised. Having said that, we cannot ignore his history and have to expect his performance will adjust downward. But it can still be good enough considering what we got out of Peterman and Anderson. More broadly, though, I think McBeane accidentally stumbled and bumbled their way into an ideal situation for the QB stable for the long run. Allen as our franchise/starter, Barkley as backup and Anderson for the vet presence. Cut Nate asap 1
RyanC883 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 is Barkely the next Fitzpatrick? If so, I'd take that as our backup!
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) He took over for a bad Bears team in 2016 that was 2-8 when he took the reigns. He played 6 games and although he went 1-5, there were a couple close losses and he threw for over 300 yards in 3 of those 6 games. He was the top QB recruit in the nation when he was a junior in high school and has the lifetime pedigree to play the QB position that few others have. Despite his arm limitations, he is a guy that is going to be able to understand an run an offense they way the coaches want it to be run. That can get you somewhere in this league. He won't have any trouble understanding the offense and should be pretty good with the pre snap reads. I am not one of those guys that is going to say I think we found our QB, but I do think he is the perfect backup type to stick behind Allen. He can step in and win games and if Allen fails, he may be good enough to take a respectable team around him to the playoffs and bridge the gap if we have to draft another QB high in the next couple of seasons. As far as I'm concerned going into next season it should Allen as 1, Barkley as 2, probably sign another vet to bring into camp and draft another player with potential in the mid rounds if it is prudent.

ndirish1978 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I like him as a backup, Cut Peterman and keep Barkley and Anderson while Allen starts. We can jettison Anderson in the offseason and just keep Barkley and Allen next year.

Ask the Eagles or SB XXV Giants or the El Perfecto Fish or The Greatest Show on Turf. The kid had a great game. Best by any Bills QB BY FAR since Hotrod left town. He gives us the BEST chance to. beat Coach Moron. Josh ain't going anywhere. Edited November 12, 2018 by reddogblitz 1

Josh ain't going anywhere. Lol with the season lost we might as well start Allen. Allen gives a better chance to win against the jags then Barkley ever will.

Allen has a better arm than Barkley. Thankfully McDermott already said just now in his presser that Josh will be the starter.

I agree he needs to play, but we've got to be prepared as a franchise for the possibility that Allen isn't the answer. The more QB's we kick the tires on, the better.

You need to draft another QB then... Barkley is not the answer which is who we are talking about so moot point in Allen either being the guy or not.

You want info about Barkley or want to talk to someone who beat the perverbial “Barkley Drum” since 1992, talk to @Cripple Creek What? Did they date in high school or something?

Still looked better though than EJ ever did. It’s funny that I remember this particular game. In 2013 EJ went 20-28 for 245 and 2 TDs with no INTs against the Jest. Good for a 121.9 Passer Rating. Better stats than Barkley. Let’s not judge either him or Barkley on any one game. Barkley might make a competent backup beyond this season. I’d sure take that, but it is still a stretch at this time.

If the Bills are seriously considering keeping Barkley as a long term backup I would not mind them starting him 1 more time. I want JA to get reps too but if they want to "lock up" Barkley for say a 2 year contract another look may be prudent. 1
KW95 - JA17 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 SO here is a player that was on no roster...and all of a sudden, the Bills have found their backup! This board is lame! And I admit, I have no idea about Barkley. But this board gets excited for the smallest things. that is how bad we have been for so long.
