Veteran Backup QB

Get a JAG - like Flynn - bring him in and see what happens. Thank goodness TB is waiting in the wings.
 
The "Who cares; we're screwed anyway if he goes down" crowd may not be properly considering the possibility of him going down with a lead ... i.e., what happened in today's game.

Yep, and Flynn at least has some basic understanding of our offense, which likely makes him a better candidate than most.
 
Even assuming that JG is out indefinitely, I'd wait until after Thursday. They're playing with house money after last Sunday's win. Give Brissett a chance to show if he's a viable backup. If he's a complete bust, mess with everybody's head by bringing in Jules and make a move for a veteran on Friday with a long week to prepare for the Bills.
 
Thanks for clarifying for us, chief...
Knock it off you guys. There's only one "chief" around here and if you have any questions ask him yourself.

Need a backup for Thursday, though. Julian Edelman is not that guy, and he has no problem telling you himself. Emergency 3rd QB is one thing, but outright backup is a different animal.

Although I would expect them to consider JE over Brissett. If he is the better option, they could go that way. I doubt it plays out like that but since he knows the system, he is technically a candidate. I can't imagine they overlook that possibility.
 
Walter Brennan for starting qb.

Right and needs to be a veteran especially given the short week. Rowe or Garoppolo go on IR with chance to be recalled-we don't have anyone there yet so safe bet. Or we release a core specially teamer or a tight end.

Play the games to win is Bill's mentality for sure and 1 NFL QB does not cut it. Julian as QB does not work because we loose our best receiver.
