Green Lightning Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Our QB room is looking just fine for the first time in decades. Barkley had been terrific in his role, so no thanks on Hoyer. Two years ago, different story.

Expand But , but he was the second best QB in the division

Rc2catch Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 So carry 3 active quarterbacks every week? Or cut Barkley for him? Not sure how/why he fits here.

Expand I don't believe, in 2019, that Hoyer is better than Barkley. Better career? No doubt. But for the 2019 Buffalo Bills I'd lean toward Barkley. Barkley seems to be aging in the league very nicely. And for the record (though I think it means very little) Barkley's QBR was better than Hoyer's last year.

Expand Hoyer will get snatched up pretty quickly with teams that aren't comfortable with their backup QB situation. The Colts come to mind. Bills seem to have faith that Barkley is a better QB than his career stats suggest and are comfortable with him as a backup.

I think Barkley is better suited for us and Allen at this point, Hoyer has reached his ceiling, Barkley hasn't. How am I wrong?
Nextmanup Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Brian Hoyer represents everything that is wrong with salary structures of modern athletes. Despite having done absolutely nothing throughout his entire career and being a terrible quarterback, he has still amassed over $21 million in career earnings. $21 million! For being terrible at his job! Being a crap QB in the NHL pays very well and is relatively safe; these guys don't play that much.

Simon Says Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) McDermot TV doesnt carry 3 QBs,so,fine. I would like them to add a QB to the PS,in addition to Jackson, who already "knows the system". Must be a PS-Eligible QB out there. Edited September 1, 2019 by Georgie

Expand And why do you think "you know it won't happen"? Because the Bills brain trust feel the same as I do. So I guess it is debatable after all. In a perfect world, you pick the best guy. They have. It's not like Hoyer would be more expensive, he isn't. You didn't respond to the fact Barkley had the top completion percentage of this preseason. One could argue, based on statistics, he's better than Hoyer is right now. You like statistics, what do you say about that? 1

I really liked Barkley in his draft. My favorite qb. So I watched his nfl career and he’s just not good enough. Say what you want to about Hoyer but he is HOFer compared to Barkley. I get we’re Bills fans but man do we love to overrate our players. I don’t remember any Barkley love before we got him. Now, he’s a great backup. Ftr, I’m fine with Barkley but I’m not going to pretend there aren’t better options. Hoyer is a better option. But what does stupid NE know? On 9/1/2019 at 2:47 PM, Coach Tuesday said: Man you’ve got some funny opinions sometimes... Expand I have right opinions that don’t follow the pack. Been that way since third grade and the teacher asked if Ben Franklin was ever a President. I was the only one who said he wasn’t. Please tell me how Barkley is better. Because there are no stats that come close to showing that. Hoyer has won more games and started a playoff game. Hoyer has backed up Tom Brady. There is literally not one piece of evidence that show Barkley is a better qb. Find me some. This is is my Ben Franklin 2.0. 1 1
