Jags cut Nathan Rourke for some reason, and maybe my CFL fandom is showing but I think we otter pick him up IF we can.
Should the Bengals be shopping for backup QB?

At this point, I'm not opposed to picking up Flacco.

I'm hoping the team is looking around. I'll take Browning over Siemian, but Browning definitely makes me nervous if he has to fill in.

Give me Colt McCoy over either of the two schmucks they currently have. He's not great, but I at least trust him to have enough accuracy to complete a pass. 68.7% completion over the last 3 years puts him 11.5% ahead of Siemian and he can complete a pass then our WRs can do the rest.

Also what backups are fantastic, if they were they would be a starter or they won;t be cut. Mccoy is a veteran that plays hard, he will fight for 1st down diving head first and has been around so many systems will pick ours up quick plus he has experience in reading so many defenses in the league over the years. If we go this route, McCoy makes the best sense...

Exactly, just imagine all of the calls that fans of Dallas will be making to get Trey Lance on the field, when Dak throws his first interception or loses a game this season? You really don't want a backup to be competing with emotional backing from your fan base, as a QB controversy is healthy for no team.

I can just see it now, Bengals sign Colt McCoy to backup Burrow.
Colt comes in to "finish" a blow out victory. Throws an INT. Is forever dubbed "Dolt McCoy" and becomes the fanbase's new whipping boy. Nope. No thank you. May as well stick with Browning. He knows the system. Not saying Colt = Siemien but Trevor just sort of proved not ALL vet QBs can "pick up a system" and be effective.

I've never understood the "stick with the terrible player who knows the system" argument. With Browning, we're screwed. If a new vet doesn't pick up the system, we're also screwed, but (a) systems can be dumbed down and (b) isn't it at least worth a chance? Chance at something decent >>> known suckage. Always.

It seems very "Bengal" to stay with a terrible player who knows the system just to not rock the boat.
I used to think that was just a Marvin Lewis thing. Hopefully they've changed, but we did stick with Ryan Finley for way too long.

He just looks weak armed and a bit indecisive to me. That throwing motion is ugly, too. I'd worry that he'd be telegraphing his throws and that's something opposing ones will be more able to take advantage of.
