That being said, it’s a lot easier as a backup to have a spark in a game then it is to start a game where you gotta play well for 60 min against a team whose game planned for you. So will be interesting to see how he does, my expectations are low. But I’ll give him credit for providing a spark and looking pretty good last game coming in for Russel. They moved the ball better with Geno then they did with Wilson. But I don’t expect that trend to continue. So IMO, I think it’s safe to say the playoff ship has sailed for the Seahawks this year given the strength of their division and no Russ for 6-8 weeks. Well, lol he did outlast EJ, so........

Tribuski has had good seasons already and has taken Chicago to the playoffs. He might not be a top ten qb but he is a starter in this league. He had one good season. No team in the NFL considers him a starter, hence he’s on the Bills roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he is better than some current starters so imo he is a starter in this league and probably will be on another team next season. There are always teams looking. Are you trying to tell me he is worse than Mills or Tyrod Taylor? Is he worse that Fitzpatrick or Heinike? There are teams out there with worse starters. If you think he is worse than QBs like that then it’s not worth discussing with you anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Definitely worse than Fitz (a starter). Taylor was signed as Watson's backup, named starter days before week 1 when Texans decided not to play Watson. Mills is Taylor's backup (i.e. Houston's 3rd string QB going into the season). Heinike is Fitz's backup. So....none are "starters in this league". So, no, Mitch isn't worse than some other teams' backup QBs. I'll agree to that, because it's a true statement.

What if they are the last 8? And what if the Bills lose one with Josh before Trubisky takes over? 11-6 and a rusty JA is a lot less "in it" than 15-2 healthy JA and home field.

And what if the Bills lose one with Josh before Trubisky takes over? 11-6 and a rusty JA is a lot less "in it" than 15-2 healthy JA and home field. He'd still be capable of 4-4 in the final 8. Jets, Falcons, Pats twice, Colts, Saints.... he finds 4 wins in there. It would be less ideal going in but as far as backup positions go the Bills are in as good of one as it is possible to be and on this schedule I think Trubisky in any 8 game stretch is at least a .500 QB.

It will be interesting to see how he plays over a several game stretch. However as others have said, their defense is awful. Adams in coverage either zone or man is a terrible idea. He just can't cover. Terrible trade for Seattle. They should move him to OLB and take advantage of his ability to blitz, cover slower guys, and shoot the gaps on run defense.
