Callahan was his QB coach in Detroit. He will be used for OTAs and mini camp to teach players the system and verbiage.

Smart move, then. Possible backup to Dalton? Cheaper than Tannehill.

Jim Bob Cooter's/Jim Caldwell's system?

More of a verbiage thing. Easier translation to say “remember when we did this? It’s like that but this instead of that”. I’m sure some of the system will come over, but who knows how much will be him vs Taylor.

I'm thinking it'll be alot more of the Gruden brothers verbiage but it's really anyone's guess at this point.

That could honestly be huge for getting Andy up and running quickly. I’ve heard Goff call plays though and I’m not sure how much they actually used in LA. Their play calls seemed a bit shorter than Gruden.

Kaaya showed promise at Miami...but he should have came back for his senior year. IF he did that...he may have been a 2nd or 3rd Round pick.
Worth taking a flyer on at this point.
Doesn't have the strongest arm in the world, but has decent accuracy. Was a 3 year starter I believe. I doubt that he'll ever be a starter anywhere long-term.

The big question--is he better than Driskel? Can he hit the ocean from a boat?
RE: Bengals claim QB from waivers - Yojimbo - 02-11-2019
Eh, gotta have good accuracy in a west coast offense. Kaaya is slightly less accurate than Driskell(based on college stats).
RE: Bengals claim QB from waivers - BFritz21 - 02-11-2019
Not a bad backup.
Nice arm strength and ball placement.
The only problem that I've seen is his scouting reports say that he struggles under pressure, which, if we need him, it will likely be because our line is struggling and Dalton got hurt because of it. However, I didn't really see that in his highlights and he actually looked pretty good at standing in the pocket and throwing under pressure.

Sounds like a good plan.

Hey, they took Bodine and made him their starting Center, it's only fair...... or is it?

Honestly, I don't know.
Coming out of college, he would have been more highly touted...but he's been in the NFL for a couple seasons and we are something like his 4th team. He doesn't seem to stick anywhere long.
He's worth a training camp invite to see if things click...but I doubt we can pencil him in as making the roster.

His biggest claim to fame?
His Mom is “Felicia” from “Friday.”
3 different teams have already said “Bye Felicia!” to Brad.
Guessing we’ll be #4.

His dad was also a writer for MadTV. So I guess he honors his parent's comedic history via his play, which is a hilarious joke.

Low risk...medium reward?
I just can't see this guy ever being a decent NFL starter.

MadTV was some funny shit, so kudos to Brad's dad for that.

Somewhat similar to when we brought guys like Gradkowski and Josh Johnson. They're familiar with the new coach's system.
