I doubt he can command the size of backup deal he had here before. But he is definitely better than Kyle Allen and so I'd be in on him if he wanted to come cheap. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam727 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'd sign him for vet minimum. If he can get more than that somewhere else I think that's more than we can afford at that position right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cincinnati Kid Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) What has Trubisky done in the last 4 seasons to make us think he is better than any other back up caliber player? My answer is nothing, maybe he has proven to be below that level. I do think there is value in finding an experienced starter from a power 5 late in the draft. 4 years of very low rookie contract $$.

machine gun kelly Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 12 hours ago, H2o said: Vet minimum? Sure. Exactly. For the vet minimum he’s a solid backup. Especially since Josh hasn’t missed a game since 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 As we witnessed all the QB's going down last season, it's imperative to have a competent backup QB. I don't think the Bills have one on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCBillsBeliever Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 10 hours ago, Punching Bag said: Find a physical QB who can play WR who appears to have good hands for catching snaps to reduce chances of fumble. Maybe that QB can do the run up middle as well. Saves a roster space. Make sure there is a candidate on PS squad for injuries. How about a WR who can play QB? Isaiah Williams (Illinois) is likely to be available between the 5th and 7th rounds, and is actually very high on my "Underrated WR" rankings. This interview is worth a watch; seems like a process guy, with a little bit of James Cook slippery, a QB brain, and high production as a WR. Definitely one to watch: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The bills could go without a backup qb, and revert to a single wing offense if Josh is hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pass for me. 6th or 7th round flier, sure. But he was the guy I thought had the best chance to really help himself at the Shrine Bowl and he was a disappointment. Don't see a lot explosion from him, looks like a relatively slow slot guy. Now that doesn't mean he can't play, Beas was a slow slot guy - but he was an UDFA for that reason.

Back2Buff Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Unless he plans on playing for league minimum, I see no reason to spend more than that on a back up QB. No back up QB out there will make the season worthwhile fighting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure he would re-sign here would he? But I wouldn't hate the idea of Tyrod. I actually like the idea of Mason Rudolph if he shakes free. If you get the cut loose version we saw for the Steelers this year that is a guy you can win some games with if needs be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'm fine with bringing Trubisky back on a team-friendly deal. He's better than Kyle Allen and could keep the team afloat for a few weeks, if Josh were injured. I don't see Mitch going into KC and willing the team to victory, but could he beat the Jests or Pats in Buffalo? Sure. He's a good fit for the Bills' system and situation, better than he was for the Steelers' and the Bills were not going to (and are not going to have to) pay him what the Steelers were paying him. I also advocate drafting a day-3 QB to develop as a potential future backup. Kind of like a Jake Fromm who doesn't suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mason Rudolph will be the starter in Pittsburgh next year. I also think that someone will try to revive Mac Jones' career. Atlanta? He's better than anyone they currently have on the roster at QB. The OC they just hired is from the Shanahan coaching tree via McVey. I think Mac Jones could do the Tua/Purdy thing. The Pats tried to insert Mac into the Brady offense. That was never going to work. But he could be a point guard. I like this idea the more that I think about it.

ControllerOfPlanetX Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Sign him up!! Then we can trade Allen for a boatload of draft picks we can turn into corners…or trade the picks away so we can move 5 slots up the the draft order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloMatt Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 He looked like he didn't know the playbook. Got benched for Rudolph. If he gets another job I'd be surprised. He needs to send Beane and Allen a xmas card every year for the 20 million dollar gift that they got him from Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
