Backups at every position are important.
Not when there are capable ones sitting in free agency. PRICE is the big thing. Hell, you could sign a starting caliber QB as a backup if you pay him (and the Bengals have the cap room). You could sign someone like Brian Hoyer as a backup and get a 1st rounder for McCarron.
