Why not the back QB, someone used to handling the ball who could make a quick decision should something break down and whose very presence keep the defense more honest should the Bengals run a fake.
And if the starting QB gets hurt and the backup QB is now the starter, who holds then? Pretty much every team has the punter being the holder. The punter "should" be used to handling the ball since it is snapped to him on every punt.
