They should have brought in a backup QB 5 months ago in FA.
They should have definitely brought in a backup after the calf injury to Burrow.
Andy Dalton would have been the best option for backup QB, but I can see why he wouldn't want the job.
Case Keenum played pretty damn well for the Vikings before they signed Kirk.
There were a number of solid options for backup QB in the offseason. We ended up with Simien.
Right now I couldn't tell you the best option.
I would say Matt Ryan is the best I'm aware of, but I'm not sure if he is in shape or what.
Bengals/Taylor could have handled this situation better (both in preventing injury and in bringing in a backup).
It is what it is at this point.
Not sure what to expect.
If Burrow isn't healthy, this season could be over though.
If we signed a capable backup, I'd be more optimistic.
I didn't expect this. Last year at 0-2 I was very confident we'd make the playoffs.
Without Burrow it feels more like 50-50.
Andy would be a disaster.
People would be ecstatic if he somehow came back, but that's largely based on near decade-old memories. The minute he failed he's get eaten alive by fans and media.
He's a capable backup and he's better than what we have, but I feel like he's run into some very unrealistic expectations in Cincinnati.
