Malachore 9,498 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I wouldn't be upset, he's only like 26 and could possibly grow in the system. Might be a successor to Ryan, I doubt it but crazier things have happened. Sidecar Falcon, JetJones11, NashvilleFalcon01 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PokerSteve 27,940 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Trubisky is a possibility. Arthur Smith is a QB whisperer. He worked wonders with Ryan Tannehill. Trubisky has almost uncannily similar numbers as Tannehill before Arthur Smith and the Titans. That's not my thoughts, that came straight from an article on The Athletic iirc. I don't necessarily want to see him be the guy, but better, more skilled minds than mine will be making the call, so que sera sera. autigerfan, mountain_jim3, FalconsIn2012 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PointSwayzee 831 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 If I was a betting man, and I am to an extent, the 2021 backup QB will be #1 Justin Fields. Beast-N-Da-Sheetz, Jerz #GurleySZN, celtiksage and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lowndesfalc 3,295 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Marcus Mariota is a possibility also. Has history with Arthur Smith. Doug Carlton, MoFalconsFan56 and PokerSteve 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tl;dr 9,773 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just now, Lowndesfalc said: Marcus Mariota is a possibility also. Has history with Arthur Smith. Would be okay with this before Trubisky for that reason. But either as the back up and for reasonable money would be okay with me Lowndesfalc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k-train 8,911 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 13 minutes ago, Herr Doktor said: Gardner Minshew. 🥷 Given that the Jags have him under contract for the next two years with cap numbers of just $900k in 2021 & $1M in 2022, I don't think there's any chance they let him go. They are in an excellent position to grab the guy they expect to be their franchise QB with the 1st pick in the draft & then they'll already have a young, cheap, decent backup in place for the next two seasons.

birdz4i 9,740 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 if he comes cheap i wouldn't hate it. not a great starter but could be a decent backup, granted matt has been one of the most durable qb's in the nfl during his career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falconsd56 26,534 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I think there is a better than good chance assuming that his relationship is good with Ragone. He is most likely going to get back up offers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosts of Glanville 3,522 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I just want a backup QB of high enough capability that the thought of an extended Ryan injury doesn’t give me a panic attack. Enough with the Chris Redmans and battered remnants of Matt Schaub. I could see Trubisky or Mariotta Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't necessarily want to see him be the guy, but better, more skilled minds than mine will be making the call, so que sera sera. These are very valid thoughts. Trubisky only started one year in college and hasn’t been outright bad. He could be the next Tannehill or Alex Smith. Herr Doktor, GrimeyKidd and PokerSteve 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ya_boi_j 67,635 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 So we're okay with bringing in a guy who was pulled from his job vs this dreadful Falcons defense and most likely only given the job back because Foles got injured. Yet other quarterbacks in that position would be deemed awful. I don't get it youngbloodz, Beast-N-Da-Sheetz and Macintez 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macintez 1,891 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Trub is a guy I followed closely because I thought his skill set would translate well to the NFL but he is about horrible at making reads/processing information before AND after the ball is snapped. He is not even equipped to be a backup he is like a “spell” QB that should come in for a few snaps only AFTER the backup is injured. mtldirtybird 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rings 7,486 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Someone will pay him being over confident they can revitalize his career. If nothing else someone will be enamored with his draft position or with what they thought of him pre-draft. CrimsonFalcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
