The guy should never be on the field again IMO. Expand Agree 100%. Are they really going to keep three QBs on the roster so that Anderson can be a player/mentor? Edited January 1, 2019 by vincec

He makes more $ than a first year position coach, gets more pay for playoffs, covered by the CBA union, probably adds to his pension too. You get a nice uniform and free laundry service. Who would not want to be a player? Expand Coaches have a union too and if he stuck with it long enough he'd get a double pension.

More money as a third string QB. It does show the absolute folly of not releasing Peterman last offseason and signing a DA type back then. Expand That is where I am at on this..... Do ppl not realize that one of the biggest mistake the bills made this past year is how they handled the qb situation.....have learned from that mistake and are not doing it again? You have THREE veteran qbs (Josh being just a 2nd year guy though) who have live bullet NFL playing time.....they have taken care of this important need before even going into the offseason which was smart....... I guess Patrick M. and Tom B. were not available for the 3rd string mentor job?

Expand That's why I'm interested in seeing if it will actually happen... McDermott doesn't seem to be a listen to the fans kind of guy and for the most part has made roster moves that the fans have been asking for like cutting Benjamin etc. but, at his own pace. He seems to give people EVERY opportunity and EVERY chance to prove they belong on the team but Crossman clearly sucks and Castillo is nothing special either.

The Now Moment Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 We aren't interested in developing another rookie QB. Focus on Allen! He's the future. Veteran mentors who have plenty of on-field experience are important.

Expand Right but it’s a long shot and he knows it. I do expect him to get into shape, participate in camp, and prepare like he’s going to play but I think he knows his main role is as a mentor and he’s only playing if things really go south.

Expand Agreed. It's a nice insurance policy that just QB coach can't give you.
DC Tom Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Doesn't anyone agree that this shows a disconcerting lack of confidence in Allen's future, that they'd be so desperate to sign such a marginal backup this early? No one thinks this is an indication that Allen's a bust? 3

Apparently you tune out whenever Josh Allen praises DA for helping him adjust to the pro game. The team has 88 million in cap space. Keep your new QB happy and moving in the right direction. Expand Uh, apparently you don't understand that he can do the exact same thing as a coach and that our roster is limited to only 53 players regardless of what our cap situation is.

Expand Mark, I think this all stems from the situation that happened to us this year at QB Regardless of what you think of him as a QB....he is in fact a veteran....and should the unthinkable happen (like this year) we will be damn lucky to have 3 veteran guys with experience in the offensive system ready to go even if it is a game or 2) They went from having nothing in veteran experience to overkill......which is ok with me 1

T master Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 I don't get why they sign a guy that went 20 & 27 W/L while a starter i know he's seen a lot of football but Barkley has as good or better insight on the game which i think was proven by his first start for the Bills . I think the roster spot could be better used maybe bring him back as a QB coach but not to use a roster spot when they could bring in another player to help the cause ...

The WR turned QB coach we have can be moved to another spot.
