Just saw on Twitter that Matt Barkley is signing a 2-year deal to back up Andy Dalton.

Works for me.

Alright. Needed one I guess lol.

Let the “Matt Barkley is better than Andy Dalton” threads begin.

According to Hobson:

Barkley and Bengals OC Bill Lazor worked together in Philly in 2013 when Barkley was a rookie.

Here's hoping Andy stays healthy so we never have to see him on the field.  I predict Driskel beats him out for the backup job.

I have a feeling that Driskel will be the next "Fever for LeFevour" of QB lore.

Maybe we can get him a sweet statue...

I sure liked having AJ McCarron on the sideline but Matt Barkley will be a serviceable replacement. The Bengals certainly didn’t accept a downgrade at backup.

Let the countdown begin for the return of the Umkubas bot and 4000 posts stating that "Matthew Barkley of the University of Southern California is a better National Football League quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals of the American Football Conference of the National Football League than Andrew Dalton of Texas Christian University"...

Oh Dear Lord! Not that again!

They officially did it. A qb I hope never sees the field. Good job bengals.

I always figured he/she was paid by Barkley's camp to help with a campaign to generate buzz for the player and was getting paid by the letter instead of by the post.

This should preserve a draft pick, and provide another reason to root for Driskell. A 'win-win' in my book.

Eh... Ok I guess. Pretty sure I can throw a football better than Barkley but whatever. I'll keep my BS job

So it seems. I just read about this guy because I knew nothing much about him. He's had a pretty shitty NFL career. 

Oh man, his college number was 7. I'm ready to re-purpose my Esiason jersey because I got me some Matt Barkley FEVER!!!!
