Does this mean I have to add a J. to my Allen jersey? 

This was actually my very first thought.

Terrible signing. If Josh goes down were  finished. I would have taken Brissett or brought Kennum back

They didn’t even trust case to play whenever Josh got hurt, so why would you spend that money?
 

And Jacoby Brissett would’ve cost a lot of money

If Josh goes down for any significant period of time season is lost anyway. For team up against the cap having a warm body who fits in the QB room is sufficient. Have to make sacrifices somewhere and backup QB is one I would make with Josh being relatively durable.

Well he won’t be with how dumb Beane is. You have a star QB but refuse to get him high quality linemen and another WR to pair with Diggs.

Offseason is not over and we still have the draft to fill holes. Critical year where FO needs to hit on some of these signings.

Oh, you’re hoping for out of a back up QB is maybe three wins
 

And a guy that can line up behind Center in a blowout

 

And that would’ve been true no matter what backup QB we would’ve signed

I’d rather an old dude like Fitz. help Josh see things he can’t see. Fitz made a career out of nothing of an arm. Tells you he had to be thinking…. Seen everything. 

Of course Fitz has been thinking.  I mean, he did go to Yale, in case you hadnt heard.

With some exaggeration most Backup Qbs are worse than @Chicken Do Do.

A roster of Allen’s only.

Uh. You tried to troll me? It was Pilgrim John Harvard’s team not Yale, anyway.

He doesn’t impress me. Especially what we paid for him. He does suck less than the other one though 😂

Don't insult Fitz, he went to that football powerhouse, Harvard, not Yale.

So when he and Jordan Palmer do their "The Room" podcast, Kyle will actually be in an actual QB room!   

 

I can see Josh, Matt, Kyle and Jordan kicking it around on a Tuesday evening from OBD.   Pretty cool.

Great move by Beane. Josh gets one of his best friends to hang with and Kyle Allen is a decent backup. Really like this love. Hopefully we draft in the 7th round TCU QB as the 3rd stringer. 

I would love Max Duggan as a long term backup solution, and would be ok with Beane using our 5th round pick, or later on him.  He is athletic, but also thinks like a coach.

Brissett signed with Washington for $8M.

Keenum signed 2 years (at his age) with Houston for $6.25M.

Did you really want the Bills to sign those guys for that money?

 

Kyle Allen's contract isn't in but I'm guessing that he cost $2M or a bit more.

 

In Kyle Allen's first 2 years in Carolina, he went 6-7.  With the Bills I think he could be .500 if needed.

That's all I can ask for in a cheaper backup QB.

We'll have to refer to them as "J" and "K". 

 

Or simply call them the "Men in Black"

[JerseyBills]

As of now we're out at 3rd rd comp pick for Edmunds 

Still have a bunch of fa that will get signed but that'd be sweet to get a 3rd back
