Have people considered that the reason the Bengals have not pursued a viable QB while Joe heals is money?
It wouldn't surprise me if JB is getting some pressure from upper management to play through the injury.
I can hear Mike Brown now, "Now Joe, we're paying you a lot of money to be quarterback of the Bengals and we have certain expectations."
Bengals management does not like to pay for fired coaches. I would also think that they do not like to pay players not to play while also having to spend unused cap dollars on replacements.
I just don't see JB as the kind of guy that pushes himself into a role he can't fulfill. Also, I've never trusted Mike Brown due to his track record. In 2021, JB coming off major knee surgery, the atrocious OL that they used to block for him. If MB was really concerned about his $275 million dollar investment, why the hell would he be playing when he can't run or throw down the field?
