This should have been Mitch Trubisky time

Backup QB is the best job in the NFL. You still get paid millions. You don't get beat up. When you do have to play there are really low expectations. If you do a decent job you can have a long career.

 

I get it, players want to play, but if you aren't good enough to be a starter you might as well get paid a bunch of money to sit on the bench.

I kind of feel bad for him. This is why I think he came to the Bills. If we had won a couple of the games that most of us think we could have, he would be starting, or at least playing, tomorrow.

 

I think he came here to showcase how he could run a  high powered Offense like Buffalo’s and this could have been his chance. (Like what Minshew is doing right now with the Eagles)

 

in the long run, I don’t really care as long as we keep winning, but it would have been nice for him. 

Score 50 in the 1st half tomorrow then he can play. Problem solved

I don't think he did any of that...

After paying my life insurance premiums for many years, I still haven't used that policy.  

 

The thing about insurance is you really don't want to have to use it or need it.  

 

In my opinion having Trubisky in place in case Josh got hurt was one of the best investments McBeane made this year.  And, if things don't work out for Trubisky to land a starting job somewhere else, I think both he and the Bills would be pleased to do the whole thing again.  I don't expect that since there are so many teams desperate for a QB upgrade, and MT will look very promising compared to the guy they have now.  But if it happens, it will be fine with me.

He came to the Bills for a chance to play in a potential meaningless week 18 game?  Got ya

While that isn't the sole reason he came as such I do think he would have come here expecting that the chances are we would be up big in a few games and he'd get a bit of a shot to play. He has got out there a couple of times too. But they have tended to just call runs when he has. He will definitely be hoping the Bills are far enough ahead to pull Josh at the half today like they did last year when Barkley got the chance to play.

I'm not sure there are many teams out there that will be looking for both a new coach and a new QB, especially one that didn't really play this season.

Many fired coaches are fired because they don't have the guy at QB. Many new coaches on bad teams also have a QB change.  

 

It won't preclude Dabol from also drafting a QB. And even if they have a young one it's good to have a vet that knows the system in the room. 

 

And it's not a given it will work out like that, if Dabol goes to the Jags Mitch will probably go elsewhere.  But it's a good opportunity if it works out.

Last time the Bills started a backup QB the final week to rest for the post season he had a great game vs the other team's backups... the owner pulled rank, the head coach cowered, and we started a backup vs the Titans who played absolutely abysmal losing a game we should have easily won.

We needed to win more than a couple of games for this week to not matter.  Chiefs are 13-4 and Titans could be too.  
 

 

12-5 but who is counting.

Didn't the Colts have something to play for in that game like a top seed or something?  Not sure it was against backups.

Best solution is another 2.5 mil for next year when he will get his chance. 


I doubt he is back in Buffalo for that coin for another year of sitting on the bench behind Allen…

 

He needs to move on somewhere to get on the field more regularly …also think someone will pay him Tyrod Taylor type money at the least .., $5-6 Mil per year ..
