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.... I don’t think so. He is considered to not be as good as many thought he would be. A review of him in the Bills Digest free agency issue says he played well vs bad teams and struggled vs good teams. While one can say that’s the case for most players, he obviously didn’t do well enough to be benched for Foles. Another comment was that Trubisky doesn’t read defenses well. Maybe Daboll and Dorsey can help him. I don’t know though what signing with Buffalo gains him though if Allen plays all 17 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They(Bears) were 2 or 3 games above .500 when he was benched for Foles. What a huge error in judgement for Nagy as Foles went 1-4 or something similar to put them almost out of playoff contention before he got benched. This guy needs his confidence rebuilt and that should happen here. 2 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Brissett knows he’s going to have to play every game in the 4th qtr.

Greg S Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 For 2.5 million this was a great move be Beane. Insurance in case Josh gets hurt. This really is a Kelly-Reich type of situation. Trubisky is more than capable of filling in if Josh misses time which hopefully never happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely. I agree considering where he was drafted. I definitely don't think him being in Buffalo at this point in his career is going to make him worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This was a Free Agent strategy very few, if any, saw coming but leave it to Beane to make an under-the-radar FA acquisition that is truly critical for the team's success. Mitch as Josh's back-up is such a key move by this Front Office. It signals that the team as a whole has taken tremendous strides toward expected excellence. Again, well done to Beane and his staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know maybe I just picked the wrong games 🤷♂️ I'm not saying he's great but has a better arm than Barkley and can also run. He's a better option at backup.

He literally has twice as many INT's than TD's. 54% completion percentage. His QB rating is 66.6...you read that right. He needs to take a bath in Holy Water. Trubisky 64 TD's to 37 INT's. He's the complete opposite of Barkley. 64% completion percentage 87.2 rating. Well after reading this, I think you're actually right. Barkley is clearly better. 1 2 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jets had little time to prep for Barkley with no film on him in our system. One game doesn’t make a career. There’s their records as starters, stats, film, and just natural talent. Trubisky is better than Barkley at all of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrtonHearsaWho Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Beane is justifiably getting loads of credit but I think we also need to McD and the rest of the coaching staff some credit as well. The Trubisky signing isn't something that pushes us over the top and I know that none of us ever want to see him taking any meaningful snaps, but I don't think there is any question that he could have been paid a LOT more somewhere else. McD and the staff have clearly built something pretty special & the word is out. Trubisky went from a team that never really had his back & didn't give him any support to a a team that players absolutely love playing for. Almost every player that we re-signed could have taken more money elsewhere if they waited it out a bit - Dion, Tre, Milano, D Williams, Feliciano & Levi. Heck, Levi pretty much said that he didn't want to play anywhere else. Obviously winning helps that but this team just seems to love being together and that can't be overstated. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing if he was offered $10M to be a starter he would not have signed here. Not sure any of those guys would have been offered more.
