Glad they're seeking a back up QB upgrade, it is a big need imo.

Yet think Rush would cost way more than the Bengals could afford, as would Bridgewater the one who I would like to see backing up Burrow.

Still this makes me happy the Bengals are searching.

A back up QB upgrade is a need. Glad the Bengals front office realizes it.

He only got 2.5M/yr for 2 yrs with 2.75M guaranteed.  I'm glad they're looking as well instead of just paying Allen the minimum, giving the fans the perception that we're screwed with any backup so why try.  

After Wentz, options are drying up but some at least look better than Allen.  Flacco is on his last legs and Ryan looked pretty washed but I'd be fine with either.  Not sure if Mason Rudolph is a fit but he still has sole potential as a backup, Chase Daniel is more of a player coach and would have more to offer Burrow. Trevor Siemian is about the same level as Allen and I wouldn't go much farther with Allen having time in the system being worth at least something.  Worst case, they sign Allen again and if a better option comes down at roster cuts that could happen.

At this point give me Blaine Gabbert.

Apparently all of his teammates love him and he must be a pretty good #2 QB as far as preparation assistance for the games for the starting QB goes, because I doubt that Tom Brady would have let him stick around to do the job for 3 years otherwise.

Why not you?

Why not me?

We can throw int's and incompletes as easily as that guy.......

I like the kid Tune from Houston in the late rounds.

Because if you can't get a top tier backup player, get a top tier backup guy. Nobody left is going to save your season if Burrow goes down for any length of time. So if you can't get a guy who can step in and win you 2/3 or 2/4 starts in a short stint, now just get the guy who will help Burrow prepare the best for his starts and be a general positive influence. That's 90% of what a #2 QB is for anyway, that's why the #2 QB is often a veteran and then the #3 is the young kid.

I'd be good with Case Keenum if he's available.

He had a good run with Minnesota before they gave Cousins all that money.

Would have thought that would've been in the Bengals budget. 

Who did he sign with ?

Back to the Texans.

Wonder what Mr. Dolegala's up to...

Does Browning end up as the backup QB?
