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.
 
If you need me to step in and close the deal, just let me know. :)
Go for it. Mrs Robertweathers is ok with looking but no touching.:p
 
Walter Brennan for starting qb.

Where is Rohan Davey when you need him?!
 
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.
