MichaelWeston Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Here is a look at the Free Agent QBs. We have ties to 5-6 of them. I expect one of the 5 either Callahan or Taylor has coached to backup this year with Dolegola and Finley fighting for a spot. This is in order of their PFF overall scores. QB Age Starts 2019/Career stats Hundley-Cardinals 26 0/9 49-45.5% 0-0 58.5 Mannion-Vikings 27 1/2 126-57% 0-2 35.1 Taylor w/Rams Bridgewater-Saints 27 5/34 1,384-67% 9-2 99.1 Louisville Daniel-Bears 33 1/5 435-70% 3-2 91.6 Moore-Chiefs 35 2/32 659-65% 4-0 100.9 Taylor w/Dolphins McCarron-Texans 29 1/4 225-56% 0-1 63.5 Callahan w/Raiders Keenum-Redskins 31 8/62 1,707-64.8% 11-5 91.5 Driskel-Lions 26 3/8 685-59% 4-4 75.3 22-151-1 IR Allen-Broncos 27 3/3 515-46% 3-2 68.3 Taylor w/Rams Restricted (6th) McCoy-Redskins 33 1/20 122-66-0-1 61.0 Siemian-Jets 28 1/25 3-50% 0-0 56.2 Callahan w/Broncos IR Glennon-Raiders 30 0/22 56-60% 1-0 108.8 Henne-Chiefs 34 0/53 IR Kessler-Patriots 26 0/12 No snaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 My thinking is if we get a veteran backup Dolegala goes to the PS and Finley is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending one to the practice squad does probably make more sense. Unless they love one of the guys and sign a very veteran backup like Matt Moore.

I sure hope so, I've never seen an NFL QB struggle to throw a 10 yard pass like that. Between him & Sample I have no confidence in their ability to build through the draft. When you have coaches evaluating players instead of scouts you're going to end up with a bunch of projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Superbowl Mahomes gave all the credit to Alex Smith for mentoring him as a rookie. And we should give Burrow someone with a track record of mentoring young QBs. Josh McCown is probably the best at that and he'd only cost a couple mil plus incentives if he has to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree....wouldnt be surprised if McCown becomes a QB ciach and eventually an OC once he retires... Right now hes a goid fit for any rookie to mentor...

sparky151 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thought you meant he failed multiple drug tests. He's rehabbing from his torn hammy but will be back before training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 They said 6 months to heal which would have him back in early July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkster Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Considering the Bengals recent history with number ones, maybe they should hang onto Dalton as the starting QB and take the overall #1 pick in 2021 to help with Burrow's debut in the '21 opener after spending the entire '20 season on the injury shelf.

So you want to sign a 41 year old guy coming off a torn hamstring to be the backup QB? Just sign Carson Palmer or Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavePityPlease Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've always liked McCown but having watched him get injured live while simply trying to play the game convinced me right then and there that nobody should be relying on the guy for any kind of on-field help. He very much looked like an over-the-hill QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as McCown can do drills by the start of training camp, he'd be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a broken down never has been. He has won 23 games in 19 years. One playoff appearance in 19 years. 11 different teams in 19 years. Yeah, this is the guy I want mentoring Burrow, Jay Cutler’s backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s usually the mediocre or worse players that make the best coaches. That said, I’d like someone a little better in case he ever actually has to play.

PatternMaster Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Ryan Finley will be the backup, I seriously doubt they are going to pay 6-8 million to player to not play when they can pay a guy $500k for the same role. If they do bring in a FA, I think Sean Mannion would be the guy because he worked with Taylor in LA when Taylor was the QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
