I agree. They wouldn’t sign him if he was a distraction, or at least I hope Beane and McD know that. I sound redundant but Kyle Allen is not a good NFL QB. We need a reliable option…

 

I thought Trubisky was the best back up. Keenum could play. KA looks inept. 

 

  Well I'm willing to see how he does after he's had time with practicing with team and knowing playbook better.  When u got so much talent in ur qb1 u aren't gonna find a great match for qb2.

The legit #2 is already on the roster…like it or not. 

 

I agree that Kyle Allen is the backup. But if Matt Barkley getting the first reps in the 2nd PS game and the supposed off air leaked audio from the Bears booth is any indication - they aren't exactly 100% comfortable with him if Josh goes down.

 

With that said, I'd expect someone who has experience and can be more comfortably called upon in an emergency as opposed to a young developmental player without any experience.

 

But we will see. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think it will be a QB who will still thinks he still can be a starter and will be willing to sign to PS so he will get NFL exposure even if it is just reporters talking about practices and speaking to players and staff on his preparation.

 

My preference would be someone who may have seen things Josh has not.  

The Bills already have a younger QB on roster.

I think they need to sign a guy with excellent mobility. Josh hides a lot of O-line sins. 

Absolutely
 

Whenever I think of the perfect practice squad candidate, I think of a player that can emulate Josh Allen’s play so that the defense can practice against mobile QBs

 

Ideally, I just like to see Kyle Allen replaced and put on the practice squad

True. But you don’t need a match necessarily. Even if the Bills signed a ‘pocket QB’ they could game plan to his strengths.

The problem with Wentz on your PS is he is a difficult teammate. Some of the stories about him marching around the locker room in Philly telling teammates they were with team Wentz or team Foles are frightening. 

Word on the street is he wasn’t like that until he married that Megan Markle chick.

What you heard and whats true could be very different. Also people can change when they are looking for a job.

He was a problem when he was the #2 Pick in the Draft, Franchise QB, with a Superstar season, and when he was an unquestioned starter or in a competition for the Starting Role.

 

Now he's a guy who is unemployed. Can't even get a backup job. He has to be on his best behavior. As a Practice Squad QB behind someone like Josh Allen, what kind of trouble can he really cause?

Wentz sucks at football.  There is no reason to even consider him.  It is insane that two teams traded high draft picks for him after his flameout in Philly.  Just shows how incompetent some teams are, as if we needed more evidence.  At least Corral is an unknown and has some potential upside.

And yet I’ve somehow seen him beat Josh and the Bills twice in Orchard park since 2019.

He was an All Pro in 2017. He has played well in the past. Yes, he's also looked bad in different situations often. But we're not asking him to start. He's a Practice Squad QB, Backup at best. And when looking at a Backup, a guy who has the potential to perform well is about the best you can ask for.

 

That said, I think Matt Corral is more likely. Especially after reading Frank Reich wants him back and he didn't come back yet:
