Simon Says Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I like that they got a backup who is more Josh-like than Barkley. Able to run a little 2 1

If Allen ever got hurt with Barkley at backup, we were totally screwed. Trubisky isn't great but he can get by. Exactly,if Bills had to survive an extended period ,say 4 games,worhout Josh,I would rather have Trubisky 1 1

Not saying that had anything to do with it, but I'm sure he's excited to have the guy on the Bills as the 2nd option. Peoples heads are exploding over this and I think it’s hilarious. He’s a back up quarterback on this team. He’s an upgrade over all the other back up quarterbacks on this team 2 2
Orlando Buffalo Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 My only question is how much? He is the best backup in league right now. 2 3
DrPJax Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 4 minutes ago, Brennan Huff said: 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 Give credit to guy who posted about the jet being in Chicago. Just never thought it was for backup qb. Greyhound would have sufficed or maybe Uber as part of signing bonus. 😀 3

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.... Fifth round is a high draft pick? 2 1
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 To fall asleep I’ll go through the Bills roster in my head. Last night I was thinking about possible QB2s and Trubisky really stuck out to me as a realistic and mutually beneficial option. 2 1
Chewmylegoff Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Whether I like this or not depends on how much we are paying. 1 1

For the Bills. that's how far we've come, and it's great! 3 1

If Allen ever got hurt with Barkley at backup, we were totally screwed. Trubisky isn't great but he can get by. I don't know...maybe he is useful in the case that Allen just goes down for a few games (like Drew Brees the last couple of years). However, I keep thinking of a reporter who talked about watching a Colts practice when Peyton was the QB. He saw Peyton getting almost all the snaps. He talked to Polian about the fact that A) his backup qb was Jim Sorgi and B) He didn't give him any practice. Polian's response was "If Peyton goes down we're screwed....so why waste time and money on his backup. I kind of feel the same about Josh Allen. I think that for me it will depend on the cost. If Trubiski is relatively cheep...and is coming here to learn the way Josh Allen learned...then it makes sense all around. 2
Captain Hindsight Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 This is a great signing. I thought the Bears should have kept him vs Dalton. Beane is a genius

Mr. K Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I saw this, said "huh", did a trouble take and laughed. Good signing in my book. Let him duke it out with Barkley in camp and may the best man win.
WhoTom Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 5 minutes ago, Virgil said: This honestly doesn’t make any sense to me. I think it makes more sense for the Bills than it does for Trubisky. I really thought there'd be a team so desperate for a QB that they'd give Mitch a chance to start, or at least compete for a starting job. I'm okay with it, though. He'll be a decent backup.
billsfan89 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 If this wasn’t for a lot of money I like the signing. Fromm needs at least another year to cook before I trust him as a backup. Mitch isn’t going to cut it as a starter but he is a good backup option.
NewEra Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) People believe this is the beginning of another Johnson/Flutie controversy. Bwhahahhahahaha! Oh man. I have a bad case of btsd but that’s some next level stuff. and others would rather have Peterman over Trubisky!!!!! 😲 my new favorite thread Edited March 18, 2021 by NewEra 1 1 1
