Where does Mitchell Trubisky rank as a backup QB?
Mitchell Trubisky was viewed as an upgrade at the backup quarterback position for the Buffalo Bills when he signed a one-year deal this offseason. A former top-overall pick, Trubisky was streaky as a starter. However, he displayed an ability to deliver the ball downfield while also having some promising athletic skills to run the ball. That matches Josh Allen to a tee. However, CBS Sports ranked the NFLs backup QBs and Trubisky as the No. 2 in Buffalo did not land inside the top-10. Instead, Trubisky clocks in at No. 12:  The former first-rounder may have flopped as the Bears starter, too often pairing promising off-script athleticism with an ill-advised throw in crunch time. But hes got the perfect skill set to learn behind and insure Josh Allen, who started his career on a similar note. Replacing Matt Barkley in Buffalos lineup, Trubisky is not looking to stick around very long with the Bills. Hell hope to find an opportunity to start elsewhere beyond 2022, but with a ranking like this, he could be in Buffalo for a bit longer than some expect as of now. At the top of CBS Sports list is two first-round rookies, the 49ers Trey Lance and Bears Justin Fields, respectively. Beyond that its quite the mix up of talent. The next three in a row to round out the top-five are Teddy Bridgewater (Broncos), Jacoby Brissett (Dolphins), and Case Keenum (Browns). There is certainly a case to be made that Trubisky is better than all three of those players. Even discounting the fact that Trubisky and Allen play a similar style of game, the Bills No. 2 has had some good games in his career and deserves to be inside the top-10, bare minimum.
