That might be a little harsh. Understand that many teams have established starters at the QB position and others have developing prospects like Tua, Herbert and Burrow and Hurts. Bringing in an established vet could quickly mess with the mind set of a young QB trying to solidify a QB1 spot and set back their development. Look what happened with Tua and Fitz. Fitz in the wings had Tua looking over his shoulder. You really think Trubisky couldn't start for the Jets, Miami, WFT, Phi or Carolina? Shoot, you don't think he can start for Chicago? 😅Tough spot for him to be in. Edited August 22, 2021 by billsbackto81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a hypothetical question. I am certain that Beane has already thought of his response if he is asked. I doubt seriously his response would be "Holy *****, didn't think of that, during free agency no one wanted him." 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if signing a guy like Trubisky messes with the mind set and development of the young QB you drafted then that player was never going to ever be good if he’s that mentally weak.

BarleyNY Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: I think the key is that our offense is light years ahead of Chicago's offense that he has played with the last few seasons. From o-line pass protection to receiving threats. That's not to mention as well Daboll is probably a much better x's and o's play caller. While true, preseason defenses are usually very vanilla. Trubisky has started enough games that he can handle what he’s seen so far. Those quick slants and crosses aren’t going to be there all game against most NFL defenses. It will very much be a different situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 What are you going to get for him? A 5th round pick? I think If much prefer to have him as insurance if Allen gets hurt than a 5th round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 15 minutes ago, Chaos said: Trubisky is clearly the best BU QB options the Bills will have for 2021. Trubisky will likely be gone to be a starter after this season. If someone offered a second (price for Garapollo paid by the 49ers), would the long term benefit of the second be worth trading? No one is offering a second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your intention is exactly what I anticipated yesterday. As you said in response to another poster, you don't like my take, carry on. You want to start a legitimate trade value thread, let's talk about one of our many WR's that are looking good possibly bringing back a low end pick.

JakeFrommStateFarm Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The qb situation is settled for most teams around the league. I can't see a team making an offer unless an injury occurs. Possibly the Colts if Wentz gets hurt again and maybe Denver but Denver did not pursue when they had the opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, for some, the college draft is what football is all about. Next year and the years after. This team is about the here and now.

BuffaloFan68 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I could see us getting a 3rd round pick for him once someone like Tua gets hurt halfway through the season, or even to WFT when they get tired of Pick-Patrick. Question is, would we even make a deal with Miami? Go Bills!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to Allen, we did not have an above .500 QB that led us to the playoffs multiple times, as Trubisky did for the Bears. Lumping him in with the JAGs we had at QB the last 20 is unfair to him. Trubisky is way better than people give him credit for. Chicago screwed up badly, and the Bills have taken full advantage.

Coach Tuesday Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Yesterday showed Tru can run the pitch-and-catch offense against vanilla D. If everything goes according to plan, Daboll will shop himself as a HC and bring Tru with him to some lowly franchise looking to make a change at both head coach and QB. In the meantime the Bills surely aren’t trading him. Edited August 22, 2021 by Coach Tuesday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
