Thoughts on Trubisky as a backup?


Recommended Posts

I would be looking for a backup with something close to Rodgers’ brain even if he does not have Rodgers’ skills.  

I think as a general matter the Jets need to get smarter as a team.   No more Zach Wilsons, Becton, Mims, etc.

You guys are amazing… other than the 3-4 snaps we got from Rodgers, Mitch Trubisky would be the best QB this team has had under center since Fitzpatrick in 2017.

Yes he is but I think we can do better.

The Jets need Gregorio De Falco to tell Douglas to get the F'ck back on deck instead of hiding.

Trubisky is horrible. He's the worst of the three QBs the Steelers rolled out last season.

Mason Rudolph is also out of contract. The Steelers will likely let him test the market before giving him a contract to stay as Pickett's backup. I would much rather the Jets sign Rudolph to back up Rodgers than Trubisky, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Rudolph go back to the Steelers because there's a real chance that he ends up being their starter at some stage during the season (because Pickett is horrible as well).

I was also hoping that Rudolph might be an attainable backup option for us.

But it looks like the Steelers will try hard to retain him. With the Trubisky release, there's a good chance that the Steelers and Rudolph agree a deal, if they haven't already.

I’m listening…

Sam Howell which they should be able to get for a low pick or who knows wait long enough and maybe he gets released based on what Wash does in the draft.

He is raw and uneven but there is talent there - I do not trust the Jet coaches in any way with him but maybe watching Rodgers for 2 years does it.

Nothing is more frustrating than watching a QB with physical tools who has been programmed to behave like a noodle-armed game manager. Talk about guys who have been over-coached, and Trubisky comes to mind. The man is a walking vagina.

These threads get made and everyone is always saying “no thanks”. He’s a backup what are you expecting? Pat Mahomes? My preference would be trading for Sam Howell, he’s young with upside who has some starting experience but I’m not against Trubisky either.
