Keep him as far away from Josh as possible - if he wasn't good enough to play in Indy the last few years under Jimbo's buddy Frank, he certainly isn't good enough for our team now. Simply a favor to Jim and nothing more. There's always the CFL this year (possibly) or the new league Manziel signed up for. He’s coming in to help with colts playbook. I can also say he has grown some over the last year or so. Enough that I want him on the team? Probably not. I’ve watched his uncle grow into a respectable person and I’ve watched chad start to change. Edited January 5, 2021 by Not at the table Karlos

That's what game film is for ... if you have first-hand experience that he's changed, I'll take your word for it. There are plenty of other teams that need or will be looking for a backup QB in the offseason.

For me it sends the wrong message that we need inside info to beat you. There is 16 games of film and 17 years of Rivers to study. Reich has been a coach long enough to display tendencies. This is a Belichick move and one that can fire up the opposing team. I usually love every move the Bills make, this one I am not a fan of. I see your point for sure but I don’t think they feel they “need” inside info as much as any edge can help in the biggest game of their season, preparing for an offense for the first time, on a short week. If they can glean any amount of info for the game plan, a simple workout would be worth it. Indy is a really good team, they will use all the advantages they can get.

cd1 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Just when we have all bought into this "process" thing... they go and work out someone who would be the worst example. This leaves such a BAD TASTE - ugh.
Steve O Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 With the Georgia runoff today, shouldn't this talk about hanging Chad be on PP&P? 1

They are bringing him in to go through film and ask questions. FTR I'm fine with that and it's a good idea. Any tidbit you can find is a worthwhile tidbit and every minute you can make the other team spend changing something that otherwise wouldn't need to be changed is worthwhile as well. 1
SoCal Deek Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Can’t they just call him on the phone and ask him what he knows? 😂 1

Why would the bills care about a qb right now? We have 4 of them I think its the most Billieveable thing about this. Now making a guest appearance in the offensive quality control film room....Chad Kelly

MrEpsYtown Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 This is a weird thread to read through. The guy is obviously being brought in for intel having been with the Colts for a year or two, which is really smart. Plus maybe they want to consider him for a futures contract, which is fine. The amount of people who are upset about this and the amount of people who are excited about this confuses me.
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Barkley is a FA and hasn’t played well at all, Fromm is a huge unknown. Chad probably isn’t the guy but upgrading QB2 needs to happen this off-season 1
Charles Romes Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 For all his problems he may have the most talent of any QB his age who is out of football. May be a reaction to what we saw out there from Barkley’s arm on Sunday. 2

BuffaloBobs Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 They're probably looking to the offseason -- Matt Barkley by all accounts a great guy and he threw a couple nice balls Sunday but I wouldn't feel great about him going out there for any length of time if we had an injury, and I believe he is on the last year of his deal. If someone like Kelly has matured in the eyes of our ownership and is willing to sign a futures contract after the season I wouldn't have any complaints. There is definitely potential upside among Kelly/Fromm/Webb and would make for an interesting competition.
MWK Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I think we can upgrade from Barkley, but not with this loser. I understand bringing him in for intel, but the only reason he's even still bouncing around is because of his uncle. I don't want him anywhere closer to the team than this workout.

I assume he would have to be cleared to spend any quality time in the building and that's what 5-6 days?
