Trubisky signs with Steelers

[bigK14094]

Forget Haskins, but Mason Rudolph would be a candidate if he is available.

good for Mitch. Seems like a good guy and hopefully it goes well for him this year and he plays the best game of his entire life when they play Tampa Bay

Good for the Bills.  When we play the Steelers, I like our chances given whom they have at starter now.  Don't think he is much of an upgrade from Big Ben the past couple years.  That's a tough division.  Pittsburgh could be considered #4 right now fighting it out w the Brownies.

If we play them early in the season, we will face Mitch. If we play them late, we face Malik Willis😉

I liked the Bills chances last year also.

I wrote earlier I have no clue how much he could get, but I am gonna guess 24M/2y.

[TBBills]

I think Mitch will do ok there.

Makes sense, I figured them, Colts, or Niners were the most likely places.  
 

Wish him well, except when he plays us haha

 

With Jimmy G, 49ers have gone to a SB and the NFCC game 2 of the last 3 seasons (missed it 2020 JG injured)--beating Aaron Rodgers/Packer both years in the playoffs.  

 

With both him and Lance still on the roster, why would the 49ers pay for a former 1st rounder on his 3rd team in 3 seasons who hasn't played a game since 2020?

 

Anyway, 1 less AFC team to worry about this season.

Interesting.  Makes sense, but didn't see that coming.  I'm very curious to see the financials.  I though the rumors to the Giants was just poor journalism.  If he gets over 20 mil, the Bills and Josh deserve a cut

 

Actually he deserves himself choosing not to take any of the bad options he had last year and deciding to refocus getting the ghosts out.

 

Good organization in general to play at.

Does this mean Dwayne Haskins is available?

 

@YoloinOhio sadly lamenting in the fall of 2018 that Dwayne Haskins was already a better QB than that guy the Bills had just drafted...........one of the hotter takes in the history of TSW.

 

That's called DNAW........Did Not Age Well.......and the D is silent.

Jimmy G is going to be traded, Jimmy G has even already said goodbye.  
 

49ers have a win now roster, no assurances Trey is ready.  It’s why 49ers are looking at Mariota too.  
 

So yeah, Niners were definitely a spot he made sense.  No indication if they were interested or not, but they are also stuck with Jimmy G right now because Watson trade will hold up Jimmy G.  By the time he gets traded there may not be a lot left to pick from. 

[Chicken Boo]

Very smart, Mitch.  You have all the weapons you need in that offense.

But I agree it gives the Steelers something they lack - a legitimate starting QB who can play in their offense.

I completely disagree and think that he is a second rate QB.

 

If I am wrong it will not be the first time.

Rudolph? The guy that lost his job to a dude named Duck?

 

Yes Rudolph. It should be a good battle between him and Trubisky as to who will guide the sleigh.

I expect the Steelers to make it a run heavy offense, asking Trubisky to be a game manager. They have Harris and a decent corps to support such an offense. I expect the Steelers to do well with MT

If they were in a win now mode, they would keep Jimmy G  and not look at scrubs like Mariota.  Or a guy like Trubisky.  

 

JG has won 68% of his games in SF and in his two postseason runs they went 4-2, losing only to SB winners.  He's not great but he's better than Trubisky or Mariota

Before I would say you’re wrong, I would ask what you mean by “second rate quarterback”

Your abilities to perform post mortems is recognized and celebrated here however I'm not sure I trust you to see the future... besides you missed my joke.

[JohnNord]

I don’t know if Pittsburgh’s offense is the best spot of Mitch but he’s starting, so good for him.  

[blacklabel]

He said it was down to Steelers or Giants. I think he made the right call. While he would know the system in NY with Daboll, ownership there has made it real clear they're gonna do all they can to make Daniel Jones the guy. Mitch gets a much better chance to start where he's competing against a QB the Steelers don't have a major investment in with Rudolph. 

 

But it is interesting to see how this dude went from undesirable to "come win a starting gig" after a season in which all he did was kneel, handoff, run for a TD or a throw a pick. Understandable though, since there are quite a few QB-needy teams and the prospect group isn't great this year.
