Mat68 Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I was being toungue in cheek earlier that Mitch is now the second best qb in the AFC east. Statisticly, last year Mitchell Trubisky out played Cam, Tua, and Darnold. 2.5 mil and the ability to keep the team afloat if Allen gets hurt is huge. 2

I knew in my heart it was a pipe dream, but I held out a glimmer of hope. As far as Mitch, he probably is an upgrade so that’s fine. I always liked Barkley. $2.5 mil. is not a big deal. I hope he never sees the field, but if Josh gets hurt for a couple of games, not a bad option. Edited March 19, 2021 by machine gun kelly 1

Good reason to series of downs to Trubisky. 4 hours ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: Not debating Trubisky's value as a backup. Merely wondering what the sports mavens will be saying on an 'off' day for Allen. Sullivan is opposite of a maven.

He must know that extended practice squad will still be available in 2021. Either that or he likes QBs whose last names end with repeated constants. 4 hours ago, Doc said: I don’t think it says anything about Fromm other than Trubisky is a great backup QB, much less at that salary. He is only with the Bills for one year so they’ll still need a back up quarterback after he’s gone. I don’t think anyone cares. If anyone has any doubts about Josh after last year‘s performance, they’re idiots. Well some care but very few care about their opinions because those are idiots too.
machine gun kelly Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks Lime. Doesn’t surprise me Beane was on MTC. He makes good points. There will never be a QB controversy ever. Also, it’s kind of a sign, Beane is with his feet not just his mouth in it for the championship. We paid a reasonable amt. of $ for a high quality backup. NO had to pay a heck of a lot more for Bridgewater. Mitch gets to be on a potential SB contender for a year, and maybe sees playing time for a game or two. He wins and maybe someone takes a chance on him gain in the future. I believe this is a great move. It also seems like maybe now that we are in full FA mode, there is a chance someone falls to use as the ridiculous $ are going to go away and there maybe value out there over the next couple of days.
Nelius Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Huge upgrade. Never even considered it but I like it. Slightly disappointed however that this is probably it for all of the Chicago chatter that was going on.
Sjwalker1 Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Trubisky downfield percentage over 20 yards is 18%. That’s worse than the midget tyrod. We are in trouble if he has to play

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 2020 - Is Josh Allen the next Mitch Trubisky? 2021 - Is Mitch Trubisky the next Josh Allen? 2

We are in trouble if he has to play Good thing we got 3 guys who are tops in the league getting open in short yardage situations. Seriously though. How many deep balls would anyone complete to Darnell Mooney as Allen Robinson gets triple teamed cause they literally have nobody else NFL worthy at receiver. Shoot if a quarterback in Chicago could even get a throw off and down the field 20 yards without being sacked it’s a win.
nucci Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 11 hours ago, cba fan said: what!! LOL. Improving team and contracts go hand in hand. If Bills spent all their remaining cap on Mitch then this was a terrible signing as they then can't improve the team in positions that matter much more than B/U QB. If he takes vet min then it is a great signing. You really think Beane would do this? We have re-signed all potential FAs that we wanted back and added a Punter and improved at backup QB. Yes, fans shouldn't worry about contracts....LOL.... 1

Not sure why people think he's an upgrade over Barkley... Probably a downgrade to be honest. you're not? Have you watched film of Barkley? Then teams should be lining up to sign Barkley
JMF2006 Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I remember all the hand wringing going on in the "We Need to Upgrade the BU QB" thread and now that its done there is seems to be more hand wringing than before the move 75% of the board wanted MB gone......I was not one of them.......but this is a clear and huge upgrade and I applaud the move. I can't Billieve they got such a bargain basement deal 500k more than Barkley for a way better QB that fits the system. Bean just bought a 2.5m insurance policy on Josh....nothing more.....if your a fan of the team this a great move 3 1

Sometimes I do wonder what would have happened if the Bears ended up with Mahomes and the Chiefs with Trubisky. It really feels like the Bears are literally incapable of having a good QB since Jay Cutler. Edited March 19, 2021 by Boxcar
Big Turk Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Pretty amazing we sign Trubisky to a 1 year 2.5 million contract while Fins sign Brissett to a 5 million dollar contract... Edited March 19, 2021 by Big Turk 4
