Jackie Treehorn Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Is it me or is this a weird landing spot for Trubisky? Shouldn’t he have gone somewhere he would have a chance to compete? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t he have gone somewhere he would have a chance to compete? With the bridge QB spots drying up, my guess is Trubisky and his agent decided to just settle on a comfy QB2 job on a 1-year deal and will try again next offseason, when more money and openings should be available. If Trubisky plays at all next season, he should look pretty good with that offense/personnel. He's a decent enough QB to take advantage of limited opportunities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t he have gone somewhere he would have a chance to compete? First thing that went through my mind. Whats the rush? An injury somewhere and someone needs a starter? Or a team where you have even a slight chance as opposed to no chance like Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy2020 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 He probably got the advice from Foles. Backup on a team with hot QB then he gets injured, you play well for like 2 games and your career is set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t he have gone somewhere he would have a chance to compete? You are assuming that teams in the market for a QB to compete want a guy like Trubisky. He is now in Geno Smith territory where he is happy to take a job holding a clipboard for a real QB. I don't know why people think Trubisky is any good. The team that drafted, nurtured, watched him develop in practice have decided to go with Andy Dalton instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with Allen's penchant for running and not sliding a lot, it's a smart move for the Bills to have a quality backup in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So explain why he chose to go to a team where he has zero chance of winning a job? If teams thought he could beat out their QB, he wouldn't have settled on a dead end situation where he can only play if there is an injury.

Shouldn’t he have gone somewhere he would have a chance to compete? I think the reality is that, after 4 years as a non-impressive starter, no team is bringing him in and giving him a full shot to compete for a job. Guys usually don't get more than 3 years to show that they can handle a starting QB gig in the modern NFL - which is why we are where we are with Sam. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would roll into the season with him as the clear starter, but he could certainly compete. The Jets might actually have been a good landing spot for him to be the 'guy not good enough to be your long term starter' that paves the way for the rookie to beat him out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those numbers and Trubisky is going to be a QB2, not even competing for a QB1 job. Yet you still have people who want to run it back for a 4th time with Darnold. Sad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise they could trade him like the Jets did with Bridgewater. In the meantime he's going to be a backup somewhere, seeing action if the starter is injured so it may as well be for a contender. Not just the system making him look good, and going right from throwing to Robinson to throwing to Diggs, but it's never a bad thing to be the starting QB of a winner, should that come to pass. Too many well-regarded QBs coming out of school this year. Wait for one or more of them to flop badly, and remarket himself to those teams in 2022.

jetstream23 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Starting to feel like the entire AFC East will be sporting QB depth charts with multiple Top 10 picks.

It's one of those things where stats don't tell the whole story. If you don't watch the box score and look at the guy play, you know he sucks and that's why he's a backup. I call it the Kirk Cousins disease. I do agree with your premise though, if Darnold put up Trubisky stats you'd have people claiming he's top 5 in the NFL at the position.
