BuffaloBillyG Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) I am hoping that unless some team offers Mitch a substantial opportunity in both money and possble playing time that the Bills make a serious attempt to being him back. We have a physical QB and have dodged him being injured the last couple years. Odds say that won't always be the case. And anyone that watched Mannion attempt to play QB last night or has seen any Giants football for the past month should see how important the backup QB position could be to teams that hope to be in contention. Add into that the possibility of COVID continuing next year with who knows what kind of strands it is better to be overprepared at the QB position than caught with the cupboard bare.

What about him leads you to the conclusion that he is likely to be seriously injured? If the Bills can bring back Trubisky that's great; but it is also highly unlikely if he is a guy who truly wants another shot at starting (for the reasons noted above). Covid won't be an issue next season unless a new, more serious variant emerges. And I continue to believe more and more folks will be vaxxed.

Jones will be a Giant next year because even if he loses his starting job the Giants other backups have been ridiculously bad. I expect the Giants to bring in a QB who will compete with Jones for the starting job & the loser will be the backup. Glennon & Fromm don't belong in the NFL. To see how bad Fromm is, Glennon was unbelievably bad yesterday, but after seeing Fromm the week before, the Giants never replaced Glennon with Fromm.

JGMcD2 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Drew Lock, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones are great Trubisky replacements. Unfortunately, they're all going to be under contract next year. I think come 2023, we have our pick of the litter. I could honestly see us trading a late round pick for Drew Lock if Trubisky isn't back. Lock would be a perfectly fine backup for Josh.

The odds that football is a physical game and even the toughest players miss time. Ankle rolls, landing wrong on a shoulder, concussion and on and on. And if I recall correctly the freak of nature has shown a human side and missed games his rookie year. Does that make him injury prone? No. But shows he's human and not impervious to being injured. And while Allen is tough and would likely try and tough things out having a suitable back up option is never a bad thing. The bolded is kind of a weird response in my view. We heard the same thing last year. And the year before. Why would you expect next year be much different? Failing to plan is planning to fail. Project the worst and hope it's not needed.

While I'm not wanting to continue the COVID talk here...because we both know how the waves ripple from other posters 😂 (more than willing to PM about it) I would be intrested to know exactly how many games in your definition is "serious"? Look at this season. We are at week 18 and need a win to secure the division. We had a razor thin margin for error headed to the last 2 weeks to even get into the playoffs. Even 1 game could very well.mean the difference between a possible chance at a Super Bowl run and heading home after 17 games. That is the reality of today's parity filled NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Drew Lock is one of the worst QBs currently in the NFL, he won't even be a backup on a bad team next year. If he's in the league at all, it'll be mid-season signing to a team that lost a QB, & he'll be a backup to the backup. I think Minshew would be ideal as our QB2, but he's under contract. I'd consider swapping a 3rd or 4th to Philly for the stache, especially if we get an extra 3rd rounder for Frazier leaving to become a HC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think Trubisky getting a starting job depends on Daboll getting a HC job.

The little bit that Mitch played this year didn't do anything to see other teams in a bidding war for his services, so agree, he could be back. But he may get a similar deal in a place like Miami or Cleveland where you have a clear #1 QB (assuming Tua and Mayfield return) but his status is much more shaky than Allen. The only way the backup plays in Buffalo, Green Bay, KC, or Tampa is due to injury or blow out.

(they are close) Jackson — Will get a huge extension and continue his decline. Rogers — To Cleveland or Denver whoever swoons him better. Wilson — doesn’t want to leave and Seattle says they aren’t trading him. (Also has to approve any trade) so Seattle he will stay. Watson — Gets traded before the draft to GB for 2 1st and a 2nd.

I don’t think much gets any big offers..he hasn’t done anything. He might go to try and get a starting gig somewhere. teams likely looking for vet QBs ( not bridge QBs till their 1st rounder is ready) 1. Washington 2. giants 3. Steelers 4.

djp14150 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Marriota is a free agent after the season from the Raiders. He’s a mobile QB so offense wouldn't need to change. Fitz Would com back if offered. I think grub stays given the limited market out there. He’s not going to get a 3rd chance if he goes somewhere and the team doesn’t succeed. He’s still young. If he waits 1 more year there might be more job openings with old QBs retiring. I don’t think Pittsburgh is a good place to go. This year the team games won have been by just 1 score. Their losses have been multi score games loses if Ben didn’t do a late rally against Minnesota and chargers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
