Josh is the only QB on the roster... who's going to back him up?

[transplantbillsfan]

Lost in the offseason discussion seems to be that we now only have 1 QB on our roster:

 

Josh Allen

 

Beane's approach last offseason to bring Trubisky in makes me doubt we'll let a 5th round drafted rookie QB be 1 snap away from getting under center, which means one of our FA acquisitions this offseason is going to be a vet FA QB... which costs money.

 

PLUS one of our draft picks is likely going to be a QB because... well... we only have Josh...

 

and unlike the Matrix... there CANNOT be only one...

 

 

QB...

 

 

on an NFL roster

They’ll get one.  Least of my worries

Where did The Mitch go? That was my favorite signing of the year. He can lead this offense.

Only a 1 year contract so a FA

Sam Darnold...There’s no way a team brings him in to compete for starter next season, and he will need a job...2 yrs, $7 mil 👍

[Mike in Horseheads]

I guess when I look at roster needs I don't have this on it.  not like Beane doesn't know he needs at least 3 QBS

I don't have a problem with Sam, I thought Carolina picked up his option (?)

The best choice would be someone who plays similar to Josh.  Darnold is not a running threat.

The Panthers stupidly picked up his fifth year option of 18.9 million guaranteed last offseason.  They still owe him that money even if they cut him.  We could maybe give them a 7th rounder for him if they pick up say at least 15 to 17 million of his salary.  If not, its probably someone like Jacoby Brissett on a one year deal slightly above the vet minimum.

I’m hopeful MT comes back, but I’m not going to be shocked if he’s off to NJ.  I’d take Fitz, Brissett, Bortles.. whatever, you just need competent, there’s no replacing Josh.

Hopefully the cheapest guy available

Ken Dorsey is four years younger than Brady if we get really desperate.

Fine, I’ll do it.

He’s not a good QB, not worth 3.5 million a year,  not worth more that 1.5 per. Figures that Carolina would pay a back up 18 million dollars

Kyle Allen.

Whoever loses free agency musical chairs among the available backup QBs. I'm hoping for Mariota.

No one plays similarly to Josh. Certainly not a backup.

I think Mahomes should do it he would benefit from a year learning from the master

And he also knows the playbook so that's another plus
