What's Chad Pennington up to these days?

I don’t think they feel pressured to sign anyone (doesn’t mean they won’t).
With the current QB market, I’m sure a ‘quality’ back up could be signed if an injury required it.

This.
Bridgewater is just an average QB, but playing with a bunch of All-Pros and a brilliant offensive coach made him look good enough to get a $63 million contract with Carolina.

JT Barrett... Open competition for the starting job. Let's settle the old debate once and for all. Maybe bring in Cardale Jones for shits and giggles too.

He is probably younger than McCown, and please don't put him in the same class as Henne.
Pennington is the third most accurate QB in NFL history (66.0% career). He led the league in passing in '02 and in '08 her finished second to Peyton Manning in MVP voting. He made the playoffs every year he started at least 12 games.
As to what he is doing right now? Probably somewhere getting injured.

Actually Joe has never played in their league.
The difference between facing a college defense and an NFL defense is night and day.
I think Burrow is a great prospect, but claiming he has nothing to learn before playing in the NFL is a joke. Peyton Manning led the league in interceptions as a rookie. Andrew Luck finished third with 18.
Most of that should be taught by the coaches, but it always helps to have a vet QB around also.

Not sure if Cam Newton has signed elsewhere. I would consider him. We would have a decent QB if Burrow goes down or needs to be replaced for a short term.

I've actually changed my vote to Dak Prescot. The Cowboys will most likely cut him after Andy beats him out for the starting gig.
