you guys are crazy...Brandon Allen is a nobody who's supposed to help Burrow in the NFL?

sorry guys.....Burrow is on his own again... Alex Smith couldve helped him LIKE MAHOMES

Yeah, this is where I am. Even last year I desperately wanted them to get a proper vet backup for Burrow. There's just too much value in being able to pick the mind of an 8+ year vet who has made some starts here and there to worry about the extra $2m you save going with Allen or Finley. 

Think this is Zac Taylor's insecurity showing. Seems he would rather have a younger less talented/experienced guy who won't buck the idea of throwing 42 times a game. Alex Smith is only 1 year younger than Taylor, and probably knows far more about being a QB.

Same reason why Taylor wouldn't go out and hire an experienced DC, and same reason why Taylor hired a stand-in "OC" who wouldn't mind letting Taylor control play calling.
