Buffalo's quarterback situation has basically been untenable since Jim Kelly retired, but 2018 is taking on a special quality, with the Bills trotting out Nathan Peterman and Derek Anderson for multiple starts. Add another name to the list, as Matt Barkley will start for the Bills on Sunday against the Jets.
When the Bills signed Terrelle Pryor, we joked he was their best option at receiver AND quarterback. Barkley won't be catching any passes, but after being signed by the Bills shortly after Pryor, he basically became their top healthy option at quarterback.
Peterman has been a disaster this season, with some folks calling him the worst starting quarterback in NFL history. His career interception percentage of 9.2 percent is virtually unfathomable.
Anderson signed with the Bills and promptly started a game within two weeks of joining the team. He's 35 and probably has no business out on the field, at least not with the personnel the Bills have. (That's not an indictment of Anderson, who actually played well against the Patriots, but it's unfair to make a guy his age who just signed into a new offensive system to try and win games.)
Poor Peterman keeps drawing the rough assignments -- he managed to land on the "Bears" square of the Who Will Start For Buffalo? board game and actually saw his career interception percentage drop despite throwing a trio of picks.
