Good for Allen. Always have to be happy for a journeyman fringe guy when he gets his moment in the spotlight and does well.
Atkins is really bittersweet. I know he toughed it out and whatnot, but they REALLY should have just convinced the guy to get surgery. Playing with one arm wasn't really helpful and he's gotten surgery anyway. I just don't see how that was ever a good plan to keep him around as limited as he was when he clearly needed to go under the scalpel and just get it fixed.

Wasn't me. It was this guy.

And I still say there is a huge difference between "emergency quarantine QB" and "#2 QB". I did some research and found that some other teams also had protocol for "emergency quarantine QBs", but NONE of them were the #2 QB.

I love this. As Fred mentioned, for a guy who's been shuffled around to keep grinding and play with the heart BA has for the Bengals this year is just awesome.
I also think it's pretty funny that Taylor brought this guy in to be the super special quarantine QB who wasn't allowed around the guys, wasn't ever supposed to see the field unless the team was totally screwed with COVID and then ended up playing lights out compared to Zac's golden boy Finley.

Well... He did kinda win the head to head matchup.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
