Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I feel like at this point K. Allen is the backup. Let Josh come in for 2 drives, get the taste out of our mouths from the Steelers game and just let Barkley play the entire game afterwards.

Kyle Allen looks like he will get all the work he can handle. If he gets hurt and Barkley is out, maybe Josh can come back in and just hand the ball off. They signed Leinart 10 years ago tomorrow. Also traded for Thad Lewis, the same day, and had Jeff Teul. If Kyle got hurt as ND Barkley 8s out they'd likely just have some fringe player hand off not even risking Josh at that point. That would be very bad coaching. I can understand having the starters get a bit more rust off but risking Josh when other 2 qbs we have a lot already hurt is totally irresponsible.

If Barkley isn’t playing & Kyle Allen got hurt what then. And then who is backup vs Jets. Seems they know something we don’t. Joe Marino said he doesn’t see Barkley playing because of a elbow injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kyle gets hurt and Barkley can't go, just pull the team off the field and forfeit. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 What’s with this “ its to risky” bs, it’s football, it’s always risky, it’s a gladiator sport where guys hit each other really hard on purpose every play, in every game, if ya can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen, as the saying goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bad look. We probably need to have a 4th QB on the 90 man roster. I’m hoping Barkley can play and his “ elbow injury “ was just a convenient excuse to pull him before he broke a pre season record for most interceptions in a game.

Yes, we need to avoid a "bad look" more than anything else, including an injury to Josh or missing the playoffs. And rosters are 53 men, not 90 as of 72 hours from now.

Dan Darragh Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Bears are carrying 4 QBs on the 90 man roster, including one with 5 NFL starts - Nate Peterman. Maybe we can sign him at halftime. (Except he never plays for us in the second half...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
