Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian have underwhelmed in camp and preseason, so Cincinnati must keep options open for Joe Burrow's understudy.
There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but the Bengals don’t have exceptions. They have Burrow. They also have a host of bills to pay on prominent players. The idea of entering the Stidham-Mariota world doesn’t make sense.Also, consider anyone they add from the outside at this point would need to learn the system and start over building chemistry with the starting receivers.
“I think anything’s feasible,” Taylor said. “But at the same time, there are a lot of nuances to our offense when you’re asking that guy to learn that quickly and be able to operate it in a game, it’s a challenge. It’s a challenge in any system. I think it’s a challenge in our system. These guys, I like where they’re headed mentally with our system. I like where they’re headed physically in terms of operating with the urgency and the communication that we want, and the accuracy.
That said, are the Bengals considering other options? Of course they are. The play has not been good enough and they do that at every position, especially the most important spot in sports.One name on other rosters stands out above the rest: Brandon Allen. He was the backup for Burrow the last two years and one with whom everybody has comfort. He had the trust of his teammates for the success he enjoyed during portions of the 2020 season when asked to play.
