Kyle Allen to Steelers

[ChevyVanMiller]

Teams essentially trade backup QBs.

I figured he would come back as our Practice Squad QB. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in house - that's pretty much his ceiling in Pittsburgh anyways.

[BADOLBILZ]

Good.  Get rid of that enabler.

He might beat out those other two guys.

Trubisky's shoes are hard to fill unless you bring your own quicksand

That is the weirdest QB room on the planet I have to give Mike Tomlin credit he literally has been picking up quarterbacks like he’s sniffing magic markers

Good old Quarterback purgatory. That was a terribly lonely place to be. 

[mrags]

Geez. How many crappy QBs do they need? 

[JaCrispy]

Good…Only room for 1 Allen on this team- especially at QB…It just felt dirty seeing that name on another jersey…😉

Curious....What do you mean by "enabler" in this context? 

 

Kyle Allen's fiancee Summer Juraszyk and Josh Allen's former girlfriend Britt were apparently close friends....

I had the thought when the Bills signed him, "AWKward... do the QB and girlfriends, still take the same limo to the Halloween party?"

 

Even if a good Polish name like Juraszyk does fit in fine with Buffalo

We have had multiple players with same last name before.  I see why Bills brought in Kyle Allen but with offense troubles there was no time to develop Kyle Allen.

[buffblue]

We're doomed

They intend to cycle through QB’s on a drive like McD does his D-line rotation 🤷🏼‍♂️? Would be funny to watch if nothing else.

Well. It would be extremely hard to gameplan and practice for

He was just a drinking and golfing buddy of Josh not a legit NFL QB.   Not that Trubisky isn't terrible but he has a separate personal life.

I think Omar Kahn is spreading his wings. It's not like the 2023 room was uber talented.

Drinking and golfing buddy of Josh, Check.

 

As far as "not legit NFL QB", uncertain there's that much to choose between him and Trubisky, for all Trubisky has 3x the starts that Allen has.

 

24 more ypg for Mitch and 2% higher completion %.  Did you see him play for Pittsburgh?  The WR must have been pulling out their hair, he would simply NOT pull the trigger and throw downfield.  

 

TL;DR I lack confidence in either of them as potential backup QBs.  We're in Tom Moore "fellas, if 17 goes down we're *****, and we don't practice *****" territory.

 

Fun fact: Did you know Trubisky has a "winning record" as an NFL QB?  Until I looked it up, I did not.
