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. 

Agreed.
If you're a QB that was a Top 10 or especially Top 5 pick and you're not the clear-cut starter going into your 3rd year, there's not much opportunity left for you.

The injury last year probably killed any chance he had to become a true starter and could ultimately end up regulating him to a perpetual backup in the league or even out of the league in a few years time.
