I'm curious as to what it is that people don't like about Kyle Allen?   He's started 16 NFL games, approximately one full season. In that "season" he's thrown for about 4,000 yards with

Biggest game in multiple decades coming up on Sunday night and we are to discuss next year’s backup QB?

NFL Network is reporting that Josh is banged up after the last game.  Hopefully he will be good to go on Sunday.   But this raises a key issue -- do you want Kyle Allen starting a game?  Giv

For anything over vet minimum it’s too much considering the cap strapped hell we will be in. Not to mention, that pretty much no matter what, If Allen goes down we’re not going anywhere anyway.

And the front office will figure out a way to handle the cap.  Will they be in great shape no, but likely can afford  better than vet min for a backup QB.  Yes is Allen has season ending injury the team isn't winning the SB, but if Allen were to be out 3 to 4 weeks  even with a backup QB like Mitch T, they could still win some games against the likes of NE, Giants, Washington, Chargers, they could win half the games and keep the team in it till Allen returns. With it's very unlikely they'd win at all with a rookie QB who hasn't played at all who was drafted in the 4th round.

 

You want to draft him and keep him on PS, fine, but pretty much a waste of the draft pick too then.

Aiden O’Connell, Bailey Zappe, Tyler Huntley, all say hi.

With the impending housecleaning in DC, Jacoby Brissett will be available, unless some desperate team sees him as a starter until a rookie is ready to play.  With the love Buffalo showed Andy Dalton a few years back, he would be a great backup to Josh.

Key word is "almost". All they got for it was a worse draft pick. They never had a chance to win the SB without Burrow, so what's the point?

Ironically, it was likely the 0-4 start the Bengals had that cost them this year.

 

They kept pushing an obviously ineffective Burrow out there because they didn't believe Browning could do it. They're 4-2 in Browning's starts.

Do we know what Shane Buechele can do yet?  He has a skill set that includes some athletic ability to get out of trouble.  But yeah, we don't have a Minshew or Flacco sitting here.  I don't trust Kyle Allen much.

to be fair Cleveland didn’t have flacco sitting there until like a month ago

Kyle Allen has handed the ball off well and has been excellent in the victory formation.

we are undefeated in games he’s played

Year after year, somehow this is always a popular topic. But I agree with a few who mentioned no one really knows how Kyle would play. But an athletic smart guy who is a positive presence in the room is good to have. At the end of the day, a premium backup is too expensive to make any sense.

They got a lot of needs, and only so much cap space and draft picks 

Expand  

WR, S, DL- and depth.  We don’t need as much as most teams.

 

Our OL will be intact.

Cook and Johnson at RB.

Diggs and Shakir WR.

Knox and Kincaid.

 

once we shore up WR, adding a 1 or 1B- the Bills needs are on defense.

 

We see the value of a good back up QB in 2023.

 

It would be a great idea to develop a quality back up QB IMO
