Should the Bengals be shopping for backup QB?

As to cutting Simien. I think Zac is guilty of the same thing Marvin was when it came to LBs. He sees himself as a QB whisperer. Just stop it and sign a decent QB2

Zac himself has said the backup position is unsettled. Right now I would bet on Jake Browning but this week’s game may flip the script.
Either way they are only going to carry 2 QBs on the 53 man roster. That means for the Bengals the emergency QB rule becomes a moot point. In order to have that 3rd QB available on game day they must be on the roster to begin with.

Whichever QB doesn’t make the 53 will then be signed to the PS. However, there is a distinct possibility that neither guy makes the team and they bring in someone off the streets.

Keep an eye on SaN Francisco, Brandon Allen is going to be the odd man out on their roster. I would not be shocked if he is brought back to be Joe’s backup if neither Browning or Simien show improvement in the last game
