Should the Bengals be shopping for backup QB?

He was the 3rd overall pick, going into his third year and has only attempted 102 career passes while just being beaten out of a job by Sam Darnold. He could turn things around, but the fact that Darnold beat him out is quite telling. There is also the business aspect of it with contract values, though. 

Honestly, I still can't believe they drafted him there. He may have and physical tools, but he was super inexperienced even in college. This isn't baseball where you draft a guy and let him develop over a few years. The NFL you need results asap. At most you usually get 1 year on the bench to learn at most (these days at least). 

The fact they don't think he has improved much going into year 3 is telling. He needs game reps but isn't good enough to get them.
