LABILLBACKER Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 The lonely, yet annoying Jets fan lost on our board that could ruin the season. That would be Jetsfan20...... 1

Logic Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 "If the starting QB goes down, your season is basically over" is the dumbest/weakest football statement that can possibly be made. Every team in the league's season is basically over if their starting QB goes down. I believe three teams in NFL history have won championships with backup QBs in the lineup. That's it. Do you really think Joe Flacco is taking the Jets to a Lombardi Trophy? Essentially, if the biggest hole on your roster, and the only one to which a fan of a rival team can reasonably point to, is BACKUP QB, then it means you have an extremely good roster. Ya know what's a bigger impediment to winning football games? Not having any good pass rushers or cornerbacks. That's the position the Jets are in. All things considered, I'll take "mediocre backup QB situation" over "no pass rushers or cornerbacks" all day long. 1
The Firebaugh Kid Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Barkley can win games. His first start here was fantastic.

Yeah yeah Billicheck, defense, running the ball more etc. 1
Straight Hucklebuck Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Matt Barkley has 10 career TDs passes and 21 Interceptions and a 65 rating. The OP is 100% correct. The Bills didn’t do everything they could to improve backup QB. They maintained status quo by protecting Allen and keeping the competition bar on the floor. 2

With Newton in the fold this division is going to be a dogfight and if Barkley/Fromm has to start meaningful games that could be the difference. I know you guys love Beane/McDermott and they are doing a great job, but to me they made a mistake here. Every team in the division has proven QBs behind their starter with the exception of the prohibitive favorite. I would not call Darnold the rock of Gibraltar of starters.

All things considered, I'll take "mediocre backup QB situation" over "no pass rushers or cornerbacks" all day long. I agree, but right now there’s no reason not to have a solid backup. There have never been this many good ones available. Very few teams are likely to go on a tear with a backup the way New Orleans did, but a good team with a solid backup may go 2-2 whereas that same team may go 0-4 with Nate Peterman or Duck Hodges.
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Fromm is an incredibly solid backup. Give the kid a chance. Beane saw the incredible value and addressed a huge need in the 5th.

Every team in the division has proven QBs behind their starter with the exception of the prohibitive favorite. When I looked last night New England was the favorite with the sportsbooks-- if someone were to be right about Buffalo winning the AFCE they could cash in at 1.5-1.6x their wager amount. New England was down around -110. I actually do agree with your thesis here and was hoping for an upgrade at backup QB with all that cap room we came into the off-season with. Before it got started I was hoping Ryan Fitzpatrick might somehow shake loose, then I wanted your boy Flacco! Or Jameis. I have a degree of trust in the Bills' FO and coaches but I must admit I am unable to arrive at the same conclusion independently pertaining to why are they so comfortable with Matt Barkley. 1

The guy is a huge liability and would not have a job on any other roster.
FieldGeneral Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Who is Tampa's insurance policy? Or SF? Or KC? Or Baltimore?
