buffaloboyinATL Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I kind of feel bad for him. This is why I think he came to the Bills. If we had won a couple of the games that most of us think we could have, he would be starting, or at least playing, tomorrow. I think he came here to showcase how he could run a high powered Offense like Buffalo’s and this could have been his chance. (Like what Minshew is doing right now with the Eagles) in the long run, I don’t really care as long as we keep winning, but it would have been nice for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but there was no guarantee that Mitch would see action.The Bills wanted to sign him as an insurance policy and still might need him if worst comes to worst. Also not sure how much he anticipated playing. There have been many dominate offenses and we’ve rarely seen the backup QB get substantive reps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Lol who cares about Trubisky. I would want my team playing week 18 even if we had the one seed. The Bills have usually played pretty mediocre coming off a bye. I could only imagine how rusty they’d look not playing in week 18 then also getting a bye and not play for 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I figured he came here in hopes Dabol would get a HC job, then jump on with him and have familiarity in the offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 He came to be apart of a successful organization and wash the stink of Chicago off. There are situations in elite sport where no credit is better for your career than bad credit. If he got to play, that’s just gravy. But nobody goes to backup Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, Wilson, etc. with a real expectation of playing. And most certainly they don’t feel jilted if they don’t see much live action. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 It should have been Trubisky time every time we sent Josh out to kneel down in victory formation.

ArtVandalay Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'll tell you why I believe Mitch signed here. He saw this staff do a great job developing Allen, and offensive system that is very QB friendly, and a starting QB with a style of play that is perceived as higher risk for injury. He wanted to take a year to refocus. But ultimately, here's the main play... him and his agent know Dabol is a hot Head Coach candidate last year and marked as a guy to get a job soon. So what he does is get in here on a 1 year deal, learn the system alongside Dabol, then when Dabol gets an expected HC gig next year, Mitch goes with him as his QB. That's the play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really thought of that but it makes a ton of sense. Daboll would be likely to want to bring in a QB who is familiar with his system.

MJS Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Backup QB is the best job in the NFL. You still get paid millions. You don't get beat up. When you do have to play there are really low expectations. If you do a decent job you can have a long career. I get it, players want to play, but if you aren't good enough to be a starter you might as well get paid a bunch of money to sit on the bench. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 After paying my life insurance premiums for many years, I still haven't used that policy. The thing about insurance is you really don't want to have to use it or need it. In my opinion having Trubisky in place in case Josh got hurt was one of the best investments McBeane made this year. And, if things don't work out for Trubisky to land a starting job somewhere else, I think both he and the Bills would be pleased to do the whole thing again. I don't expect that since there are so many teams desperate for a QB upgrade, and MT will look very promising compared to the guy they have now. But if it happens, it will be fine with me.

Got ya While that isn't the sole reason he came as such I do think he would have come here expecting that the chances are we would be up big in a few games and he'd get a bit of a shot to play. He has got out there a couple of times too. But they have tended to just call runs when he has. He will definitely be hoping the Bills are far enough ahead to pull Josh at the half today like they did last year when Barkley got the chance to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many fired coaches are fired because they don't have the guy at QB. Many new coaches on bad teams also have a QB change. It won't preclude Dabol from also drafting a QB. And even if they have a young one it's good to have a vet that knows the system in the room. And it's not a given it will work out like that, if Dabol goes to the Jags Mitch will probably go elsewhere. But it's a good opportunity if it works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandalay Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Last time the Bills started a backup QB the final week to rest for the post season he had a great game vs the other team's backups... the owner pulled rank, the head coach cowered, and we started a backup vs the Titans who played absolutely abysmal losing a game we should have easily won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
