OT Fun pick Josh’s backup for 2022

[Royale with Cheese]

I only want Ryan Fitzpatrick.  Seriously, that's who I want.  

 

You will see as many Fitz jerseys as you would Allen in the stands I predict.  He's that popular.

nothing against him,  i still dont see a team out there interested in him as its starter.   

 

If he would have started for Indianapolis this year instead of Wentz I feel like the Colts get in. Pittsburgh will be in the market. 

 

If Denver fails to get Rodgers, Wilson or someone like that (and I don't think either is going anywhere, yet again) they could use him. Browns rumored to be bringing in competition for Baker. Panthers need a QB, Falcons may need one.

 

Not supposed to be a great QB draft or FA market. Mitch will have offers with opportunities to earn the start IMO.

Agreed, not sure with the money he's made that he would be up for the grind, but I could see him as a QB coach someday.  He sure has made his share of great and not so great plays.

Looking at who’s available next year, I’d consider all of them to be a big downgrade from Trubisky. 

 

Brissett might be able to come in and win a game if need be. Maybe McCoy? 

 

Honestly it’s a real crapshoot. Not enough good QB’s to go around let alone backups. 

 

Jacoby Brissett is my UFA pick by far from the guys that are currently available.

I don't think the Bills go with an old QB (someone over say 32).  Josh is way past that need.

Also, I don't see a guy that is too young and inexperienced.  

His pay is now trending down so he won't cost too much and a 2-year deal would be the ticket.

 

If he fits in and settles in as a backup for the rest of his career, he could end up staying for a little longer.

too bad  cleveland  gave   baker  his  5th  year option ,  he  could  have learned  something  riding the pines. im  sure  trubisky   benefitted   from this  year

Agreed. He hasn't played enough for a team to think hes much better than he was with the Bears. His best bet was to start the week 18 game and play well.

 

I'm sure the Bills would love to have him back

Draft one late round QB.

[TailgateChef]

Maybe Mitch looks at Frank Reich and thinks "things turned out pretty well for that guy...."

Fitz would be fun.  Would we all still love him if he lost a few key games with untimely picks?

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Fitz is a franchise QB voodoo doll curse… even to himself. Hard pass. Let him go to KC… this week 👿 

[Chandler#81]

FITZ

[Logic]

Because I don't think Fitz wants to come back to be a backup, he won't be my answer. I get the sense that, at this point in his life, he'll either go somewhere where he has a chance to start, or he'll retire.

With that out of the way...

I'll take Sam Darnold. He and Josh are close friends. He's a mobile guy with a big enough arm to where you wouldn't have to change the offense when he was in the lineup. Put him the Bills culture rehabilitation program and see what happens.

With Josh signed for so long I just don't see the need to try to develop a rookie QB.

Some proven backup level QBs fits the need.  Backup QB has a big role in helping the 2nd string depth offense improve.

Bring in camp arms every year and keep one on the PS squad.

[x-BillzeBubba]

I say we sign the other josh and then just cut him

[Ethan in Cleveland]

1. Trubisky

2. Mariota 

3. Bridgewater

4. Fitz

There are 2 problems with bringing Fitz back.  1) He has to be cleared medically 2) He has to be willing to take less money than his last few years.  

If we can get by those 2 things, I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't want him back.  

 

You left out 3) the voodoo doll that results in certain injury to the starter.  

[Freddie's Dead]

If Fitz is healthy, and available, and Mitch chooses to go elsewhere, then it's a no brainer.  Would be an awesome mentor to Josh, and an unbelievable teammate.
