John from Riverside Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The thing that gets lost in this to me Beane knows if Josh goes down were *****.....so he addressed it A wonderful scenario would be we let Mitch play a LOT in pre season......and he shines.....then we hold onto that poker chip and when a QB goes down (which they inevitably do) you trade Mitch for a first round/high second round pick Beane.....equals....wizard 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 🤷🏻♂️ You wanted to roll with Fromm as the only back up? I mean this is essentially what they paid Barkley for last year. How much more confidence is there in this team not being completely screwed if Allen misses a few games now?

Exactly, If Buffalo would be 5-1 in a given stretch with Allen, I could see them being 3-3 or 4-2 under Trubisky in that same stretch. I did not have confidence in Buffalo beating too many people under Barkley or Fromm Edited March 19, 2021 by dgrochester55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I don’t think it says anything about Fromm other than Trubisky is a great backup QB, much less at that salary. He is only with the Bills for one year so they’ll still need a back up quarterback after he’s gone. 1 minute ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: Forgive me for not slogging through 28 pages, but anyone else wondering how many 'off' series of downs for Allen before Sullivan starts clamouring for Trubisky?

Josh is THE GUY for me and I’m pretty sure 100% of the locker room, regardless of bad days next year. If Josh were a Jay Cutler type, he might lose some guys with a bad stretch. He IS not, and he WILL not. IMO Forget the media, they work for clicks. The TEAM knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I was being toungue in cheek earlier that Mitch is now the second best qb in the AFC east. Statisticly, last year Mitchell Trubisky out played Cam, Tua, and Darnold. 2.5 mil and the ability to keep the team afloat if Allen gets hurt is huge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew in my heart it was a pipe dream, but I held out a glimmer of hope. As far as Mitch, he probably is an upgrade so that’s fine. I always liked Barkley. $2.5 mil. is not a big deal. I hope he never sees the field, but if Josh gets hurt for a couple of games, not a bad option.

machine gun kelly Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks Lime. Doesn’t surprise me Beane was on MTC. He makes good points. There will never be a QB controversy ever. Also, it’s kind of a sign, Beane is with his feet not just his mouth in it for the championship. We paid a reasonable amt. of $ for a high quality backup. NO had to pay a heck of a lot more for Bridgewater. Mitch gets to be on a potential SB contender for a year, and maybe sees playing time for a game or two. He wins and maybe someone takes a chance on him gain in the future. I believe this is a great move. It also seems like maybe now that we are in full FA mode, there is a chance someone falls to use as the ridiculous $ are going to go away and there maybe value out there over the next couple of days.

We are in trouble if he has to play Good thing we got 3 guys who are tops in the league getting open in short yardage situations. Seriously though. How many deep balls would anyone complete to Darnell Mooney as Allen Robinson gets triple teamed cause they literally have nobody else NFL worthy at receiver. Shoot if a quarterback in Chicago could even get a throw off and down the field 20 yards without being sacked it’s a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bills spent all their remaining cap on Mitch then this was a terrible signing as they then can't improve the team in positions that matter much more than B/U QB. If he takes vet min then it is a great signing. You really think Beane would do this? We have re-signed all potential FAs that we wanted back and added a Punter and improved at backup QB.

JMF2006 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I remember all the hand wringing going on in the "We Need to Upgrade the BU QB" thread and now that its done there is seems to be more hand wringing than before the move 75% of the board wanted MB gone......I was not one of them.......but this is a clear and huge upgrade and I applaud the move. I can't Billieve they got such a bargain basement deal 500k more than Barkley for a way better QB that fits the system. Bean just bought a 2.5m insurance policy on Josh....nothing more.....if your a fan of the team this a great move 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
