I have no idea what QBs sit on teams practice squads, but if Patriots could steal our practice QB, then the rules should apply that Bengals can steal other teams practice squad QB's...

If you poach a player from another teams practice squad you have to put that player on the 53 man roster for a minimum of 3 weeks.  Therefore if the Bengals did what the Patriots did, they would need to find a spot on the 53 man roster for whatever QB they took.  

If the Bengals didnt think Grier was valuable enough to have on the 53 man roster, I doubt they would think any other practice squad QB out there was either.  The Bengals could have protected Grier from being poached as they are allowed to protect up to 4 players on the practice squad from being poached but they didnt think enough of Grier to even do that.
