Even if he were to miss the first few weeks, is a guy like Bridgewater objectively “that” much better than Siemian. I know bridgewater had a better collegiate career, but as nfl players… when given the opportunity, they are about the same. Fwiw.
All I know about Siemian is that his bio for the last four teams he played is was filled with "released and signed to practice squad," and "waived and signed to practice squad." And he's already on his 7th team since being drafted in 2015. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if the Bengals really upgraded the position. The loss of one or two games during the season, if Burrow has to miss any time, could be the difference between playing away or home in a playoff game.
