yet the Eagles won a SB with a back up QB in Foles and beat Tom Brady in it. SF made a good run at one with their 3rd string guy. Believe several back up QB's beat Joe Burrow this year even, Brissett and Rush, and Tribisky became the back up shortly after winning. Not saying they're better but back ups can win if the team surrounding them is good, and the Bengals are very good. Plus would think the QB coach and OC would be who Joe listens to mostly anyway.
Think the position needs upgraded and whoever keeps Joe comfortable can be kept on PS and still on the sideline for him to chat with anyway.
Yet hopefully it's just an insurance policy and Burrow remains healthy throughout the rest of he's career.
Mahomes backup came into a playoff game and had a TD scoring drive before mahomes came back in. They won the superbowl that same season (last year).
