Jauronimo Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Signing Mitchell Trubitzky after using a high draft pick on Jake Fromm is a clear sign that every one on the team has to earn their starting role every year, week, and day. This has serious shades of Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie. I think the locker room is strong at this point but I really hope this isn't the start of another QB controversy. Lets not forget, Trubixy was the SECOND OVERALL PICK in the draft not long ago. The guy was considered a serious talent. The NFL is a what have you done for me lately league. One or two bad games from Allen, or god forbid an injury, and I think its very realistic we could have a debate about the starting QB and a locker room divided. I hope I'm wrong fellas.... 4 2 7 12 3
Southern_Bills Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Hmm seems like a very Patriots of old guard move. Players are definitely inclined to listen to Buffalo now.
DrPJax Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Well this is shocking. Who knows,,,,just hope he doesn’t hit the field till game 17. Rudolf already gone and ertz still unsigned and this is a priority? What about continuity; Barkley beat the fins first team last year. He had great relationship with josh. Don’t like this move a great deal. But.should Allen go down for 3 games maybe this makes sense. Trade bait after a year perhaps? Ok move based on trade bait as quoted by Beane ,to be gone after a year. Barkley tweets he is gone and thanks. Rough move in about room. Edited March 18, 2021 by DrPJax
John from Riverside Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Beane has already called Barkely to say thanks for everything....... 1
BillsFan4 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Does anyone remember that rumor back in 2017 that Mitch Trubisky was the QB the Bills (or Sean McDermott) liked the most? (or something like that, I can’t remember the exact rumor)? edit - just to be clear, I don’t think he was signed for any reason but to improve the backup role. I just thought of that rumor when we signed him is all. Edited March 18, 2021 by BillsFan4 1 2
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Just now, Virgil said: Why do you love it? I honestly don’t get it. Barkley has a great rapport and chemistry with the team and Allen. We should hope Allen doesn’t leave the field, so I don’t know why Mitch would want to come here. This honestly doesn’t make any sense to me. If Allen were to get hurt and miss 4-6 games, they want a QB that they feel more comfortable with starting for a stretch. 3 1

Or, will the wily “chess to your checkers”Beane be trading trubisky for a 3rd someday soon!!! How many "Exec of the Year" awards do you have exactly? 3

Nick the Greek Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Way better than Barkley.. I was always scared of having him be our starter for multiple games. 2
CapeBreton Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 How can you not like this assuming it's dirt cheap? If Allen ever got hurt with Barkley at backup, we were totally screwed. Trubisky isn't great but he can get by. 1
Brennan Huff Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 The Pegulas obviously think highly of him if they picked him up on their private jet. This is probably insurance in case Josh walks after his rookie contract. Also, I’ve been drunk heavily since noon yesterday 1 7
Southern_Bills Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Only controversy is if mitch knows he's carrying Josh's equipment yet. If not they will inform him when he arrives. 1 3

Barkley seems like a great dude, and I hope they bring him back and tell Fromm to hit the road. But Trubisky is a piece we need if we’re going to take a run at the Super Bowl. Love the signing. Don’t hate the pickup. Just came out of nowhere. Expected him to sign somewhere as challenger. Maybe Vikings or Niners (don’t see Jimmy G there after this year). 1
Andrew Son Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Look at what Daboll did for Allen, I can only imagine what he can do for Mitch. 2

I honestly would rather have Matt who’s been in the offense for 2 years and knows the players. I don’t hate it. I just don’t get it 1 2 1
