ALF Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 The one advantage Barkley has he's familiar with the playbook and team. The lack of practice time due to covid hurts teams that had a high turnover. 1
GunnerBill Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I mean our backup situation is bad. I am a little surprised they are content with Barkley.

Bringing in another QB is a delecate situation....if you bring in a vet who has been a starter and had success....you run a chance of creating a problem I thought the bills handled it right.....Fromm wont be looked at as a threat to Allen but had a lot of college success....so he might be good 1
Utah John Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 McBeane are not shy about signing former Panthers, obviously. The best-known of former Panthers, they passed on. If you haven't noticed, they have a plan. Call it a process. Signing an expensive backup QB, especially a guy who considers himself a starter, isn't part of the plan.
Troll Toll Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 The biggest hole on our roster is punter. We lose the field position game with regularity because of it.
JoPoy88 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 This is funny because Barkley beat the brakes off the Jets. Does Jetfan even revisit his own threads anymore? Or does he just drive-by troll us now?

The Bills had ample opportunities to upgrade that position this offseason and decided not to. 3 hours ago, John from Riverside said: Bringing in another QB is a delecate situation....if you bring in a vet who has been a starter and had success....you run a chance of creating a problem I thought the bills handled it right.....Fromm wont be looked at as a threat to Allen but had a lot of college success....so he might be good Its the most important position on the field. If Allen can’t beat out Joe Flacco, Colt McCoy, Andy Dalton, Jameis Winston, or Marcus Marietta than he’s probably not the guy.

San Francisco has Nate Mullens who is pretty highly regarded around the league. Baltimore has RG3 who is far more accomplished than Barkley. KC and TB are up against the cap so they really don’t have that luxury. That said both of their coaches are offensive masterminds who can probably get solid play out of a Chad Henné type.

The Bills are in the same position as 90% of the league, and that includes your Jets and NE - if they lose their starting QB for any significant length of time, they’re in big trouble. Bridgewater and NO last year notwithstanding, most backup QBs in this league are bad. And it’s comical that you think Flacco isn’t completely washed up after flaming out in Denver last year. I’d be more worried about your starter if I were you anyways. Him, and the fact that your best player is routinely talking trash online trying to get outta town. Worry about that. 1

I think Flacco can be a Pro Bowl starter for the Jets by years end. Perhaps he had a Vinny Testavetde type run. 2

I guess you are alright, this gave me a good laugh! You Jests fans can be funny! Adam Gase is up for coach of the year already.......

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. cool username

Perhaps they didn't believe he would be a good fit. Cam wants to be #1. The Bills don't want a challenger to Allen on board at this point. I agree w that assessment. Barkley is #2, knows it, and is supportive of Allen from a vets perspective...perfect to help get Allen's head right.
buffaloboyinATL Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Either Fromm or Barkley can be sufficient "game managers" who can do enough to not lose games that our Defense wins. I am comfortable with QB 2.

Someone who can keep the ship afloat... if Allen is out for a 4-5 weeks, the Bills are screwed. They'll lose every game with Fromm/Barkley. I agree. 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: They probably aren’t. I don’t think Fromm is the answer either; maybe they do. But Cam wasn’t signing with any team that he wouldn’t be at least competing to start. Oh I know. I wasn't expecting the Bills to sign Cam. I just was surprised earlier in the offseason they were not more aggressive at that spot.
