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. Btw, polian did lose his job after not hiring a good backup qb. Have heard him lament about that on Sirius several times and admitted it was a bad philosophy. Edited March 18, 2021 by DrPJax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 the post in this thread about him being trade bait if it comes up i think has it right. someone's qb is gonna go down in training camp or pre season. when that happens, mitch for a pick or even a player gets very very tempting. still have fromm if the worst case occurs.

I care if we go so upside down we can't field a team but under Beane that's unlikely. At this point I'm just wanting him to do whatever he can to make the numbers work while winning a SB or 2.

With his mobility & previous starting experience he becomes the perfect backup QB. I would put him in the top 2-3 back-ups in the NFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 My first response was thinking that the Bills had lost their collective minds. But on further review this was a solid signing. There is no QB controversy. This is all about upgrading the back-up position in the event Allen goes down. I you consider how the Bills offense relies on Allen's mobility then Trubisky is a clear upgrade over Barkley. Sometimes it's really that simple. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
