All things considered, I agree about the quarterbacks. These guys suck. I wish they would have spent a 2nd or 3rd day pick on a backup. They need a younger, controllable guy that's got a bit more to offer than never-will-bes like Simien and Allen.
There's a ton on the line this year. We very likely will see more players from the SB team depart after this season. We may get to a point soon where the roster has several actual deficiencies in multiple position groups. Having a guy that can eek out a win under center should Joey B miss time is critical.
This team is not built to run, especially vs the defenses in this division. It will be very tough to lean on the ground game in a Burrow-less game or two. They need a guy who can take the embarrassment of weapons this team has and prevent an injury to our best player from becoming a total season-killer. The guys here now are not those kinds of players.
One positive take here is that the lack of urgency to replace these guys immediately. I kind of wish they would, but my takeaway form it is that Burrow is expected to be just fine sooner rather than later.
