If Allen ever got hurt with Barkley at backup, we were totally screwed. Trubisky isn't great but he can get by. Exactly,if Bills had to survive an extended period ,say 4 games,worhout Josh,I would rather have Trubisky 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that had anything to do with it, but I'm sure he's excited to have the guy on the Bills as the 2nd option. Peoples heads are exploding over this and I think it’s hilarious. He’s a back up quarterback on this team. He’s an upgrade over all the other back up quarterbacks on this team 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPJax Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 4 minutes ago, Brennan Huff said: The Pegulas obviously think highly of him if they picked him up on their private jet. This is probably insurance in case Josh walks after his rookie contract. Also, I’ve been drunk heavily since noon yesterday Give credit to guy who posted about the jet being in Chicago. Just never thought it was for backup qb. Greyhound would have sufficed or maybe Uber as part of signing bonus. 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has serious shades of Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie. I think the locker room is strong at this point but I really hope this isn't the start of another QB controversy. Lets not forget, Trubixy was the SECOND OVERALL PICK in the draft not long ago. The guy was considered a serious talent. The NFL is a what have you done for me lately league. One or two bad games from Allen, or god forbid an injury, and I think its very realistic we could have a debate about the starting QB and a locker room divided. I hope I'm wrong fellas.... Fifth round is a high draft pick? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 To fall asleep I’ll go through the Bills roster in my head. Last night I was thinking about possible QB2s and Trubisky really stuck out to me as a realistic and mutually beneficial option. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Bills. that's how far we've come, and it's great! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Allen ever got hurt with Barkley at backup, we were totally screwed. Trubisky isn't great but he can get by. I don't know...maybe he is useful in the case that Allen just goes down for a few games (like Drew Brees the last couple of years). However, I keep thinking of a reporter who talked about watching a Colts practice when Peyton was the QB. He saw Peyton getting almost all the snaps. He talked to Polian about the fact that A) his backup qb was Jim Sorgi and B) He didn't give him any practice. Polian's response was "If Peyton goes down we're screwed....so why waste time and money on his backup. I kind of feel the same about Josh Allen. I think that for me it will depend on the cost. If Trubiski is relatively cheep...and is coming here to learn the way Josh Allen learned...then it makes sense all around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought there'd be a team so desperate for a QB that they'd give Mitch a chance to start, or at least compete for a starting job. I'm okay with it, though. He'll be a decent backup.

billsfan89 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If this wasn’t for a lot of money I like the signing. Fromm needs at least another year to cook before I trust him as a backup. Mitch isn’t going to cut it as a starter but he is a good backup option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 That's why the Pegula Jet was in the Chi I guess? Nice upgrade over Barkley. Hopefully we don't see him on the field until 4th qtrs or week 17,18when we clinched home field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeTime101 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Bottom line. You don't want your QB out there playing with a separated shoulder the week after It happened and you want a backup that you can trust will get 50% of games they take over for you. We have our Frank Reich GREAT MOVE! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm going to miss Barkley joking around on the sideline. Every time the camera caught him he had a big smile on his face. I have to think he was a great teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Huge upgrade at backup if we need a few games. Barkley just wasn’t going to be it for us. Plus used to playing outdoors in the North. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
