TTL News 313 Posted February 29 Quote INDIANAPOLIS - Once again, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has to find a new backup quarterback to stand on the sideline and watch Josh Allen play. The Bills have been incredibly lucky in that Allen is basically a Sherman tank. He hasn’t missed a game since Nov. 11, 2018, the last of the four he sat out in his rookie season due to an elbow injury. Since then, Allen has started 98 straight games counting the postseason, the longest active streak of any NFL quarterback and the 15th longest in NFL history. Matt Barkley started the last game Allen was inactive and he was great in a 41-10 blowout over the Jets. But since that day, Buffalo’s backup quarterbacks have thrown a grand total of 87 passes combined, including just 15 since 2021, and none of those were by Kyle Allen in 2023. The Bills paid Barkley $2 million to do essentially nothing on game day in 2020. They paid Mitchell Trubisky $2.5 million to essentially do nothing in 2021. They paid Case Keenum $3.5 million to do nothing in 2022. And they paid Kyle Allen $1 million - a veritable bargain - to do nothing in 2023. Who’s next in 2024? Find out more here.

Chris 2,199 Posted March 1 Hell, as long as Josh is QB I’ll sit on the sidelines for $250k a year and help them get under that salary cap. I wouldn’t have to lift a finger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
