Thing is though: it's a legit concern and we're now learning who is going to be cut. The dude has objectively played better than Trubisky the last 2 years. What's wrong with this thread? 1 Quote

Einstein Posted August 25 Posted August 25 20 minutes ago, co_springs_billsfan said: Looking at spotrac his base this year is about $1M which is fine, but there's a $1.65M roster bonus that we might be on the hook for. Didn't realize this is final year of his rookie deal so no future commitment involved. Just seems like a lot for a QB3 and with our tight right cap situation. Broncos already paid his roster bonus. He would cost significantly less than Trubisky. Quote

ColoradoBills Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Trubisky in a lock for the roster. Right now, it's DiNucci to the PS. If White (or others) want a path to the backup role it goes through the PS. 2 Quote
Buffalo03 Posted August 25 Posted August 25 (edited) He will probably want too much to be a backup. If you look at what Beane has done at the backup QB position, he has gone insanely cheap the last few years. When Mitch was here last time we only paid him $2 million for one season. This year we got him for around $1 million each of the next 2 years. Keenum was cheap. This year we bring in Dinnucci and Brown I think his name is. We could have had someone like Tannehill but he will probably cost about $6 or $7 million a season. Mike White I can see wanting around $4 or $5 million to be a backup. I don't think Beane wants to invest that money at the backup QB position Edited August 25 by Buffalo03 Quote

He looks horrendous and the injury gives them an out. Quote

Koufax Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Week 2 at Miami...I know they aren't gameplanning in detail yet, so no Lawyer Milloy impact, but likely some level of advantage in addition to improving our QB2 position. However with other cuts coming up there might be even better options at QB2 if we are looking just at the player, and not the insider info. Quote

I don’t get why teams love gambling on trubisky’s ceiling, but not Wilson’s? both guys were in awful situations to start their careers. I would really like to see Wilson be mentored by a QB whisperer type coach. 1 Quote

I would really like to see Wilson be mentored by a QB whisperer type coach. He has a big arm. Can be very accurate. He is mobile. He seems like a guy who might be a resurgent QB a few years from now after he gets some of the mental things down. 1 Quote
BigAl2526 Posted August 25 Posted August 25 I don't want a backup who is so different from Josh. I would take an average arm and mobility over a strong armed statue. Quote
Dr.Sack Posted August 25 Posted August 25 I’d prefer Trubisky’s scrambling ability with Mike White’s arm. Can we Frankenstein them? Quote

Saxum Posted August 25 Posted August 25 They kept the one the Bills beat in playoffs Skylar Thompson so this is a good thing, correct? Quote
