Bills’ fans just have the bar set so low...I’m not upset he’s signed on for a few more years, but I’m certainly not excited by this and hope to God he never has to play QB. But he did have to play QB......with our poor OL and pass catcher's to boot....and killed it. Anyone that says they dont like it should be giving an alternative so we can discuss it......and no "draft a QB" is NOT ACCEPTABLE we needed a veteran presence behind our franchise 2nd year QB
Buffalo_Gal Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Imagine that - Buffalo goes into the 2019 season with the QB position solidified at starter and backup, both eminently qualified and a position to look forward to watching. Been a looooong time since Bills fans could state anything close. 2

Guess I know why I get looked at weirdly when I'm out sometimes now... Yes, muscular. It could be the way his shirt fits but he looks pretty big, at least bigger than I thought

As far as football knowledge goes you have more than me so correct my thinking. It seems like there are certain guys who don't make it as a starter, but are competent enough to be a backup for years in the league. IIRC, overtime they can go from awful to decent as a trajectory of their careers. I'm thinking Testaverde, Garcia, Collins, etc... and maybe it's a mistake to lump those three together. Is there any reason to think Barkley can't go from awful to decent by your standards? Could his most recent game be indicative of something between an outlier and him being good now? I agree with everything you said, except if you have a rag arm, which very few players ever improve. It’s possible but highly unlikely.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Still would have liked to see him play at least 1 more game to see what he was
LeGOATski Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 A California kid in cold, snowy Buffalo?! No way!

3rdand12 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 good pickup. all about the TEAM perspective. Allens is the Future. Anderson is the " Coach" and Brakley is locked in at #2. we should be all set for next season. next on list? Protection for the QB via O line. sort that s--t asap 3

Rich Gannon had come to mind before reading your post. He really struggled early on then he started to grow and the NFL slowed down- went on to have an incredible career from his mid to later years, career wise. Edited December 21, 2018 by billsfan_34 1
