I know if Burrow goes down with a season ender (knock on wood) the season is most likely shot regardless, but if Allen needs to step in for one or two games, it could be the difference between playoffs and no playoffs.

He is maybe one of the worst backups in the league and I am perplexed on why we didn't at least try to upgrade this off-season though FA or the draft.

I really hope this season isn't torpedoed by our backup QB position. We all talk about lack of OL depth, but how we don't rag on the lack of depth at arguably the most important position on the field is weird...

I was highly disappointed (embarrassed?) with Allen last night.

I'm having a hard time believing he's better than Cam Newton or Mike Glennon.
It's also possible some other QBs become available after being cut in about a week.
