Fan in Chicago Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 5 hours ago, Billy Claude said: Trubisky will probably be available for cheap after this season. Reminder - this thread is about capable backup QBs 4 hours ago, MrEpsYtown said: That said, maybe a Trubisky or a Sam Darnold might make some sense in that 4 million dollar-a-year range. But that money could be the difference in having to cut or retain a guy more important to the team. First time I am vehemently disagreeing with you. Trubisky is terrible and wont get us anywhere near a 0.5 record if JA is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I don't think he is good, but they like him and there is a relationship there going back to North Carolina, so I could see them circling back. I'd stick with Kyle because ultimately, I am not sure it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he is only looking for a 1-year deal like Trubisky did but thats fine. I also like the idea of drafting one in Round 4+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The Bills are 7-0 when Kyle Allen has been on the field. No reason to panic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he has done in his garbage time snaps is hand off to a rusher, or kneel down. I do admit to being concerned of having to play him--my memories of his preseason games are pretty frightening. I bet if he threw in a regular season game that it would be a sphincter tightening experience. The fact that they have not let the man throw a single pass tells me everything I need to know. A more capable backup to groom and a savy vet would be good mix to have in the QB room with Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a Rudolph fan but can’t deny that he has played pretty well. Kyle Allen is a bottom 5-10 backup imo. I am open to a ton of options and maybe even 2. If you signed someone like Brissett and drafted a guy like Pratt for the PS I’d be good with that (assuming he’d get to the PS which is likely). If Josh is out for a while it is a problem either way. I just hope it isn’t a “season over” type of trouble. I guess my point with Kyle Allen is, he couldn’t produce the numbers Keenum did across 2 games? His career averages are better than that and he was on some talent depleted teams. Brissett is too good to sign with us. He’ll have the opportunity to sign with a team in QB purgatory because he’s good enough to start. It’ll be too hard to get that type of quality backup to sign here, because most want a chance to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a ton of FA, can't sign em all I've felt all year with all the QBs going down, we need a legit vet that can just play competent- Flacco is intriguing , Tyrod , Minshew if he's a fa etc Edited January 4 by JerseyBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think teams usually go the other way with this now…maybe the browns prove me wrong this year but if you lose your starting qb it’s nearly impossible to be competitive in the playoffs anyway so most teams save the cap space and get the better draft pick the following year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might even be brought in as competition to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
