Yes, and once they realize that's their NFL future, being on THIS team is where he would want to be - backing up the best on a team that is a threat to go deep into the playoffs for years. Quote
Albany,n.y. Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Take a look at what backups are getting: $6 million for Zach Wilson, $14 million for Daniel Jones. MITCH IS A BARGAIN! Quote
Cubanmist Posted March 12 Posted March 12 At this point, while Beane will be trying to create flexibility with the salary cap, he should cut ties with any back up qb on the roster that may be costing too much. It’s cheaper to bring in some rookie and slowly groom him. 13 hours ago, Albany,n.y. said: Take a look at what backups are getting: $6 million for Zach Wilson, $14 million for Daniel Jones. MITCH IS A BARGAIN! The difference is that Mitch can’t throw well. Pittsburgh tried to give him a starting role and he failed. Even as a backup, he sucks! 1 Quote

Mitch isn't the answer! He certainly has the potential to be the guy for a series or two, and maybe for a game or two, even though I think that's highly unlikely! My confidence level in Trubisky on a scale of 1-10 is somewhere in the range between 1 and 1.5. Maybe if we had an absolute stable of studs at WR & TE to go along with Cook, I could entrust Mitch for a game or two, but even then, against any solid competition, I just have serious doubts. He showed zero capabilities in Pittsburgh during his short stint there. Are there any FA QB's out there that will help ease the anxiety of this organization? As it stands right now, If Josh Allen goes down all the Myles Garretts and Joey Bosa's of the world aren't going to help. I want that 3rd string qb on the pats. he played lights out in the preseason last year against us( i know, preseason). he could be a josh like qb in waiting. got legs and a strong arm! Quote
Luka Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I said it in the mock draft thread and I will say it here. Kurtis Rourke - QB - Indiana. We now have 3 5th round picks and he should be there. 6 years in college means he's a seasoned QB and with a guy like Allen in front of him and Brady in booth, there's a lot he could learn. Plus he's a Canadian kid from Ontario! What's not to like? Quote

Plus he's a Canadian kid from Ontario! What's not to like? For some reason, QB 5th round picks have done virtually nothing since Mark Brunell was drafted 31 years ago. Any QB pick would either have to be a 3rd stringer or be exposed to waivers in order to be on the practice squad. Beane & McDermott would never go into a season with a rookie 2nd stringer. They obviously believe that the 2nd stringer has to be a cheap veteran with NFL starting experience. Now they might be open to a PS guy developing, but they know he could be poached at any time if he shows anything, or they would have a wasted spot on the roster when every spot is important to a Super Bowl contender.

DJB Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Who cares who the backup is. If Josh goes down our season is over 1 Quote
