The backup needs to play for extended time the season is over. If the backups, backup needs to start just think about the draft. Edited August 6, 2019 by Boca BIlls

I appreciate the topic but Barkley is probably one of the worst backups in the league (great guy though). If Allen doesn’t take the next step or gets hurt, season is probably over. I’m almost rather see Jackson than Barkley. Meh. Jackson isn’t anything. Im not stressed over QB3 but it probably wouldn’t be bad to have one more semi-viable arm in camp in case you need to cover a game or two on short notice. The classic speed dial guy that can get you 20 plays instead of 10 on a weeks notice. im sure 1-2 guys out there have abbreviated playbooks though.

Saxum Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 I am sure we have someone on roster who has ability to play QB with limited set of plays just not sure who. Usually it is a WR or TE who played some QB in college and if needed as practice arm he could do it. I guess it depends on when it happens and how well we are doing - if Bills are doing well and OL seems to be protecting there will QBs interested.

He’s a nice guy and I’m sure he helps Allen but he is the definition of replacement level. He's a terrific cheerleader. His absence would probably move the line in Vegas a full touchdown. No way Allen plows ahead for that first down without the assistance of Matt Barkley. Inspiration leader if there ever was one.
klos63 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Is Allen hurt too in this scenario? Because if not, I don't really care.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 2 hours ago, Ol Dirty B said: Don't most teams face this risk? Quality starting QBs are scarce, let alone back ups. Yes, that's basically it. The Eagles are about the only team I can think of that wound up with a backup QB who could go the distance. And if he'd gone down - they'da been hosed. 1
CSBill Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Well, I think this thread wins the "most laughs of the preseason" award.
MJS Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 So you're saying there is cause for worry if our starting QB goes down AND our backup QB goes down? How did you ever come to this conclusion? 1 1

What Veteran QB sitting at home currently or maybe cut do you think they would bring in? thumbs down to the first smart guy that responds “Kyle Orton” If Barkley were to be injured in training camp or practice, I'm sure the Bills would be looking for a vet they can bring in. Who that is depends upon too many unknowns at this point to "name names" - when does this hypothetical injury happen? what is going on with other team's depth charts and who might be available? etc etc. On the other hand, if Barkley were to be injured during a real game, we're kind of already screwed because it would mean Allen was hurt.
PetermansRedemption Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 I would bet that when almost any back up in the league has to play, win percentage plummets. For that reason, I’d rather see what Tyree can do. We have suffered through Peterman, the worst QB in NFL history, can it get any worse?

If we lose our second string qb then we will need a miracle to win. I do not worry about it because our season dies the day it matters.
