After listening to the latest BBP I got to wondering about our backup spot. Who do you think will backup Dalton this year? I have a feeling we'll be going back to the 2 QB depth chart.
We signed Matt Barkley this offseason, but let's be real, he's not impressive. He was with Lazor in Philly, and Marvin said they were impressed with him in a workout last year, but they didn't sign him. He's bounced around the league and I'm still baffled to remember he was only drafted in 2013. He only has 250k in dead money if we cut him and he'd free up about $1 million in cap room.
Jeff Driskel is the wild card in all of this. The Bengals have kept him on the 53, but they also don't seem high on him. I don't think we would've signed Barkley if we were sold on him being the unquestioned backup. We don't really know what he can do. I mean he broke his arm playing scout team WR. I don't see him getting trick play snaps if he's the #2
I don't see Woodside making the 53, but who knows? The Bengals were contemplating trading up into the 6th to get him. They might give him a legit shot at winning the backup spot. I still think he winds up on the PS with the hope of him competing next year.
Or do you think our eventual isn't even on the roster yet? We've seen the Bengals shock us with the Driskel claim or the Fitzpatrick trade.

You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
