The rules don't apply to the billionaire owners, who are in general garbage humans, so I fully support any player doing whatever he can to get his.

gobills404 Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Surprised Walker isn’t higher. It seemed like nearly every other pass rush he was tossing someone aside. Still great to see both our guys up there though. 1 2 Quote
Sojourner Posted August 26 Posted August 26 (edited) 6 hours ago, Captain Hindsight said: The Bills have no interest in developing a QB. It’s why Trubisky, who has not shot to start anywhere else, is the backup. Because he has played a ton of football and can help QB1 succeed. He can step in a run an offense on no reps and be successful. How many 5th round QB develop behind starters like Allen and are traded for assets? 1 in 15 years? It’s simply not worth it. Give me a shot at Milano or Taron Johnson than a QB who would be behind a guy who hasn’t missed a game since 2018 You can have no interest in developing a QB, no dispute there. But when you have a superstar QB, the development comes from mentoring and guidance from the guy above him as much as it does coaching staff. The point isn’t about drafting a guy to replace or “become the next Josh” but rather an insurance policy incase something happens because if it does this team isn’t going to win much. The point isn’t every year but once in a while to take a flier on a guy you have as that insurance or are able to exchange for future draft pick/s to get another shot at a Milano, Taron, Shakir or Benford… Mitch was dreadful in Pittsburgh, a team that is very friendly for a QB. They moved on to Kenny Pickett because he wasn’t doing enough, which even then had to be pretty minimal. If you believe Mitch can be successful at leading us to multiple wins if Josh is unavailable, more power to you. I was in that camp prior to his Pittsburgh 2 year deal. Not anymore. There’s better options out there. Grooming a backup versus a guy who’s played a ton of football and done so very averagely since his Sophomore year seems like a smarter option. Especially when you revert it back to your point about rather having a chance at more late round gems; you could get something for him. Edited August 26 by Sojourner 1 2 Quote

Especially when you revert it back to your point about rather having a chance at more late round gems; you could get something for him. I have 2 issues with the above: 1) When Mitch was in Pittsburgh it was with Canada as OC and it was hilariously bad for QBs. None of the QBs played well and guys that had been there got worse. With the o-line and lack of creativity, Mitch looked just like all the other QBs in Pittsburgh. He will be fine for his role here. 2) The reason they don’t draft many QBs is because of roster builds. They do not want a QB that needs time to develop taking up a roster spot and they are correct. The Bills keep 2 QB on the roster and want a starter and a guy they can insert and hold on to a win if required. They also want an experienced QB that can talk with Josh and they can see what the defense is doing to make adjustments. People would lose their minds had the Bills wasted a 5th rd pick on a guy like Milton just to cut and try to put on the PS. If they are going with a young QB, they want an UDFA or 7th round guy that can go to the PS and develop and they have that in Shane. The return also hasn’t been worth it. Milton and another player were traded for a 5th rd pick that was barely 20 spots in front of where he was picked. NE lost value overall on the trade and although they have drafted several QBs since near the end of Brady - very few have even netted anything close to the draft capital and has been an over net negative. 1 3 Quote

They also know they have a small window to secure their post-NFL financial futures, so they are willing to play hard ball with ownership, especially when they play positions where salaries have exploded in the last 2 or 3 years. 3 hours ago, Rochesterfan said: I have 2 issues with the above: 1) When Mitch was in Pittsburgh it was with Canada as OC and it was hilariously bad for QBs.

Trubiskey looked significantly better in the pre-season than he did in Pittsburgh or even last season with the Bills. I think that the Bills roster is considerably better than many on TSW think it is, and Trubiskey helps make it better. He's highly unlikely to be able to win 5 or 6 games if Allen was out, but I think he could lead the Bills to 3 or 4 wins out of 6 games, depending upon the opponents. I don't think any team with a high caliber starting QB like Allen could ask for much more if their backup QB has to play a string of games. 3 Quote
