I would be looking at veterans looking for a 1 year contract that could be longer.. something like what Dalton did this year with Dallas.  I could see Winston available after this season.. he could be someone to look at ... or Mariota could be available after this season.

We have to have a better plan.

If not we were already behind by about a decade the way this division looks going forward, and are risking making it a generation.

I'm not advocating moving on from Joe.

Worse case scenario we rush Joe back. I hope he starts the season on PUP, if we are going to try to salvage the pick we have to thread cautiously.

If he does Great but damaged goods is damaged goods.  So what are some real QB scenarios?

GB decides it's time to start Jordan Love and want Zac Taylor to be his mentor, so they trade Aaron Rodgers to us for Zac Taylor

We draft 3rd in the draft behind Jets and Jags. Jets decide to give Darnold one more year and go punter #1OA and the Jags like what they have in Lutton and go long snapper, no one moves up and we take Lawrence with the 3rd pick

Kenny Anderson feels he still has a little left in the tank and comes back and leads us to all the Superbowlz

Click on this fluff piece and scroll down to see the avatar for the Finley video. He looks more like a high school tennis player than an NFL quarterback. I still can't believe that they traded up to get this guy. Who did they think was going to draft him?

It’s the most Bengal thing ever to give us a franchise QB and then take him right back in such horrific fashion.

In addition to that, all 3 AFCN opponents are going to make the playoffs and the Steelers will somehow manage an undefeated Super Bowl year.

Whoopee...

I would rather have a healthy Joe Burrow in the future rather than rushing him back too early. Let’s get this right: Joe deserves a long healthy career, period.
