Best The Bills Backup QB's

[boyst]

Because this is very objective we will specifically make it as in rank the best QB to backup Josh Allen.

 

Rate your top 2 backup QB's you'd want behind Josh. If you want to do them as an entire ranking, be my guest. As part of the hypothetical, these QB's would be at their peak.

 

1) Kyle Allen

2) Matt Barkley

3) Davis Webb

4) Case Keenum

5) Mitch Trubisky

6) Derek Anderson

7) Nate "the GOAT" Peterman

😎 Joe Webb

9) EJ Manuel

10) Cardale Jones 

11) Matt Cassell

12) Kevin Colb (edit: his name would matter if he didn't get his ass kicked by a rubber mat)

13) Matt Leinert

14) Vince Young

15) Honorary Buffalo Bills John Skelton

 

For bonus points: how many games in a 4 game stretch do you think they could win?

1)  case keenum

 

2)  matt leinert

 

at least each has shown that he CAN be what a starting QB is supposed to be.  Even though Leinert's was in college.   For whatever reason, leinert didnt continue to develop it.

First of all, its KOLB, not COLB. That's all I've got so far!

Trubisky and Kyle Allen because their style pf play is similar to Josh's.

The schedule is tough but with this roster, I think either could eke out 2 of 4 wins.

If they had to play longer than that, the league would figure them out and the season would be sunk.

Looking at this list, I’m not surprised that the Bills only criteria now for backup QB is “will you play for vet minimum?”

 Davis Webb - team just seemed to function better with him.

 Mitch Trubisky - I think he has untapped potential.

Why is Fitz not on the list?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I mean the 2 best by far were Orton and Fitz. I’m not sure I understand the list. It’s just any Bills backups lately or?

[SinceThe70s]

16) Red Skelton 

 

Less seriously I'll go with Nate (the not so great) Peterman for purely selfish reasons - this site would be a hoot if it ever happened (again).

[Mike in Horseheads]

Mitch and EJ

[Mighty Taco]

Frank Reich is number 1 and it’s not even close.  There is no 2nd place.  

[buffblue]

Gale Gilbert and Joe Dufek

[BuffaloBillyG]

The continued disrespect for Brian Brohm on this board is ridiculous. 

[unbillievable]

Josh Allen was Nate Peterman's backup.

[Freddie's Dead]

Imma go off the board Jack, with Jeff Tuel and Billy Joe Neckbert.  Seriously though, no love for AVP?

[That's No Moon]

Peak Vince Young would have been good insurance in that the style of offense wouldn't have to change a ton.

[StHustle]

You’re trippin saying “these QBs would be at their peak” then ranking Vince Young that low. Can’t be serious!

He didn't rank them.

[leonbus23]

Keenum and Trubiski

 

2 wins. 

 

Why no Thaddeus Cowan Lewis?

Frank is not going to quit his OC job and unretire to be backup QB even if it would pay more.

 

Alex might.
