Bengals Claim QB Driskel from 49ers

[Roland]

Surprising since the Bengals haven't normally carried three quarterbacks and they rarely give up so quickly on a third round prospect.

I have to think that "development project" wasn't high on the 49er's list of quarterback qualities this season so I don't know that we can measure this guy by his experience there. Obviously they're hopeful that signing Driskel will free them to cash in on McCarron if the opportunity arises and also save them a draft pick next year.
