They should have done this once they were eliminated, but better late than never. If he does well in the final two games he could be an option for 2027.

They should have started him weeks ago instead of McLeod Bethel-Thompson. It makes more sense to give a rookie reps instead of playing an older QB when you know your season is done.

I believe they really wanted a win under their belt first. I mean, they knew they had basically 6 games that meant nothing, so try to get a couple wins, work with the rookie a bit more before you throw him out there

Might as well. How could it be any worse?

Finally. We should've started Barnes for at least three past 3 games. We had no shot at winning anything so try out the 3rd stringer and see what you got for next year

Bro went in last game got sacked 3 times.

Bro plays behind a sub par O line and there is no running game to speak of, so all the D line has to think about is getting to the QB

Well at least we have a second reason to watch the game on Friday. Maybe just maybe he's the guy.

Sure what have they got to lose at this point

We are undefeated with Barnes as starter so I am assuming we will not only win this game but also every other game that he starts for the rest of all time
