Rigotz Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It’s October, 2022 and Mitch Trubisky is no longer the starter of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the upcoming Bills game this Sunday. While we can’t be confident enough in Kenny Pickett to write Mitch’s ticket out of Pittsburgh yet, Pickett showed enough promise in his first game to open the conversation — is there a chance we can get Mitch back next year? In looking closer at his contract, Trubisky is due $10.26M next year and only $2.26M dead cap if cut: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/mitchell-trubisky-21743/ Personally, I think he would be one of the best backups in the NFL and I’d love to see him back. He’s known to be a big fan of Buffalo and good friend to Josh. The Trubisky Watch is on. 2 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsgpr88 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Have you watched him play this year? I'd rather take a late round flyer on someone else than bring him back, he is exactly what we saw in Edwards, Manuel, and to a lesser degree, Tyrod. I can't imagine Beane wanting him back based on his play this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Darragh Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I heard that the Giants brought in Jake Fromm and AJ McCarron to try out this week. Daboll really needs to forget about the guys he saw in Buffalo and find someone good. And in that regard, how toxic (or feeble) is Kaepernick that he can't get a tryout? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it kinda funny how his reputation as a QB improved by not playing for a good team Yeah, I always have found it funny how a player can start gaining hype as a backup QB from not playing in real games and looking good in pre-season over the course of a few years and parlay that into a big backup contract until they actually have to get in the game and play and then once they end up sucking they go back to being normal backup dollars. Only job in the NFL you can get paid on hype versus production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and besides a Trubisky Bills signing wouldn’t happen until Keenum’s contract is up. Then maybe as MT is younger than Keenum. Keenum is 34 and paid $3.5 mil. For 2022. If MT wants to come back, it wouldn’t be until he’s 30 in 2024. The Steelers have him through 2023 and there is a dead cap hit if they let him go. I don’t start thread like this one until I check to be sure the OTC for both players and the cap space, and lastly what would he be willing to accept as a backup. Otherwise, I would be wasting all of you’re time in a senseless thread. So maybe in 2024, but not before unless the Steelers want to take that dead cap hit.

Well, dude has thrown for over 300 yards in his last 2 games and has the highest completion percentage in NFL history through 4 weeks. Hard to try and argue he sucks based on that and the 108 QB rating. Also 10th in the NFL in yards, so it's not like he is only throwing on 3rd down. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't understand is why he didn't threaten the field, let it fly long and down the seams. He knew he was going to be benched for the tentative short yardage dumpoffs. An interception reaches the same result, but you have to try. One can't go with a whimper, air it ouit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 There are a lot of FA QB’s next season. List Should be a few releases along the way. I don’t want MT back.

The most intriguing guy in this list for me is Gardner Minshew, although I doubt he’d come here knowing he’d be a backup. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Says Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I don't know how the money works out. If he gets cut,sure, talk to him.

Scott7975 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It doesnt really matter who our backup QB is. They are basically all the same level of player. Keenum, Tribusky, Barkley, etc etc. They are all QBs that wont make it as a starter and you first hope they never have to see the field. If they do you just hope that they dont cause turnovers and the rest of your team can eek out some wins. There was a time that people were calling for Barkley to start over Josh because of one game against the Jets. Then he did actually play again not so long ago. Now no one wants him to see the field again. That is the same for just about all backup QBs. People around here dont even think Bridgewater is any good. He isnt a starter but he is a fine backup that can win some games. Thats all you hope for a backup. Thats all you are going to get from a backup. It really dont matter which one it is.

He’s known to be a big fan of Buffalo and good friend to Josh. The Trubisky Watch is on. Much too soon. While it's pretty clear Trubisky hasn't earned the confidence of anyone on the Steelers offense or coaching staff, Tomlin has a track record of a not-too-long leash with QB not named Roethlisberger. Duck Hodges got the call at QB after Rudolph threw 4 picks vs the Browns then threw another the following week. Hodges got to keep the job for a couple weeks where he did "enough" and the Steelers won, but after the Bills picked him 4 times Tomlin shot him down the following game after he was picked twice and the team went back to Rudolph. If the Bills manage to bemuse, confuse, and pick the hell out of Pickett on Sunday, he'll be given a 2nd game to "get it straight" or we just might see Trubisky starting again.

Tyrod never put up similar numbers for an entire season, stop being ridiculous. His best season came with 3025 yards, a 99.4 QB Rating and 20 TDs to go along with a 63.7% completion percentage. Geno Smith extrapolated out for a 16 game season to compare apples to apples would be: 4148 Yards and 24 TDs. To go along with a 108 Rating and 77.8% completion percentage. I am not sure in what universe throwing for over 1100 yards less and more than a 14% completion percentage difference is "similar" but it's not in the one I or anyone else other than you seem to live in.
