He's definitely a better QB than Finley. But I don't think he'd be a good fit.
One of the biggest things people overlook is harmony in the locker room, and specifically in the position rooms. I think it's incredibly important for whoever is behind Burrow to develop a relationship/friendship with him, while also knowing their role.
I'm not sure this kid would make the best partner in that room. He's a former top 10 pick, who has never been really been given a fair shake. I'm sure this bothers him, and I'm sure he believes he's deserving of a chance somewhere.
The problem is that here there is no chance. You're the backup and that's it. There's no winning the job, or hoping that you can takeover down the road. You're a holding a clipboard unless Burrow goes down. And no matter how you play, if you even get the chance, you're going right back to the bench as soon as Joe can return.
I don't think he'd be thrilled with that role, and I think there'd be chemistry issues. And for that reason, I'm out.
