You are going to feel bad for all the shade you threw on him when he is watching the game next to you at Busby's next season though. He’s a Newport Beach guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Huh, how's about that...way out of left field. I guess maybe they weren't thrilled with what they've seen outta Fromm? They speak highly of Davis Webb's football IQ but don't seem to wanna see him on the field. And I figured Troobabinski would've went somewhere he thought he'd have a shot at QB1.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I’ve always felt that Trubisky was the one the Bills wanted in 2017. They were all over him, and while Beane wasn’t with us yet, he had seen him play a lot in Carolina and I’m sure their was some positive feelings there pass on to Coach. I’ve mentioned this before, and people didn’t like it, but they were never going to take Mahomes, they wanted Trubisky imo. When they realized what it was going to take to get up to draft him, they punted. Anyway, this is a good type of guy on the roster, a young guy who was a former top prospect and obviously has talent. I am excited about him. I think he adds to the QB room and should fit right in here. He has enough experience that it would not be deer in the headlights situation, and he has the talent to do some things if he every has to step in and play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 An excellent upgrade at the backup QB. Which was much needed. And an even nicer contract. Fine work Beane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 For those are impressed with the Trubisky signing, I hear Beane only paid $1 for something at the Dollar Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that is what she is talking about. Then again might be something else. Definitely wasn’t Mitch.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 https://theathletic.com/2461912/2021/03/18/mitchell-trubisky-gives-bills-an-instant-upgrade-at-backup-quarterback/ Joe B take in the Athletic (paywall, trial available). Take home: Quote Trubisky instantly improves the depth at quarterback, and with Allen now the well-established starter, the Bills had no hesitation in bringing in a high-profile name to serve as the backup. To the Bills, Trubisky is a high-upside pickup for a low cost. Even with some injuries on defense last season, the Bills were extremely fortunate that they never had to start a game without Allen as their quarterback. Allen is prone to take big hits with his running style and his keep the play alive at all costs mentality, which makes Trubisky valuable insurance. They have a player in Trubisky who can put them in a position to win even if Allen is injured, they don’t have to spend much cap space on him and he could yield a worthwhile future return in the form of a 2023 compensatory pick. Also this: If nothing else, Trubisky has to serve as an object lesson to Josh that there can be a mighty big slide if you don't keep your pedal to the metal and keep striving to up your game.

dgrochester55 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Keep in mind that up to very recently, a signing of this caliber would have been handled as competition to be the starting qb. Now he is strictly a backup and a huge upgrade over Barkley. I feel like he could do well enough with the offense around him to fill in for a few games if Allen was to get hurt for awhile.

Rebel101 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Maybe we signed Trubisky to trade to the Eagles 😂. I get he was only 2.5 mil so why the ***** not for insurance purposes. But money could have been spent elsewhere then again wtf do I know 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
