Owner to head coach on down try their best to put the best backups on the roster at every other position. There's no reason not to do it with QB as well.
Matt Barkley is the backup in Cincinnati (veteran).
The drafting of Jackson/Rudolph had nothing to do with "if Flacco/Roethlisberger get injured."
And frankly, if any starting QB gets injured for more than a game or two, that team is more often than not screwed. Currently, the Bengals want to see if Driskel can be their next McCarron. If not, they've got Barkley.
