Doc Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Very surprised. I didn’t think that back up quarterback was this big of a need, but since they did, I’m glad they addressed it with someone like Trubisky. Since his rookie season he is 25-13 as a starter. hopefully they got him for $4 million or less. And he is not competing with Josh at all. He sign for just one year which is not long enough to compete for anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyville Guy Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Allen Mitch Fromm Best QB depth chart in the league? Also, Mitch will likely be a good personality/culture fit -- I've always heard that he's hilarious and his teammates love him here in Chicago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 That's an eyebrow raiser. I mean, is he an appreciable upgrade from Matt Barkley? Maybe higher upside, but Trubs has been baaaaad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Gotta be one of the best backup QBs in the league. 64% career completion percentage, 64 TDs to 37 INTs. Has had two seasons with QB Ratings above 94.0. I know people like to pick on him, and as a starter -- particularly one taken third overall -- I get it. But as a backup? Great signing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Trubisky could be the 2nd best QB in the division. That's pretty hilarious. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Our 2 strongest positions heading into FA were QB and WR. So, of course, that's where our 2 biggest acquisitions are. Why not? I like that Trubisky has a similar style to Allen, so the offense shouldn't have to change if he has to come in for any reason. I am well past questioning Beane. Great move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreboding Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Just now, Jauronimo said: Signing Mitchell Trubitzky after using a high draft pick on Jake Fromm is a clear sign that every one on the team has to earn their starting role every year, week, and day. 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....

CorkScrewHill Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 3 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said: 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. The other thing to keep in mind is with his contract ending after a single year when the cap increases .. he will likely leave for greener pastures next year which very likely will get a nice compensatory pick in 2 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t get it The brass always talk about competition at all levels. I think it is clear that Mitch is at least marginally better than Barkley and if God forbid we lose Josh for a few games, I think Mitch has a far better chance of running a Josh Allen offense as opposed to Barkley. Good guy, but weak arm and no legs and not that imposing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
