Even though Russell Wilson is arguably the "whitest" one of all and culturally makes Burrow look like Malcolm X. ✊🏾 My impression is either heavily medicated or legit a couple wontons short of a pu pu platter. Or both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Huntley. We were interested in DTR last draft. Maybe a practice squad guy for us this year? If the Bengals had any kind of vision they would use Browning to move up in the 2nd and sign DTR to be the backup. Won't happen though, they will keep Browning on the roster.

Interesting thought but given Joe's propensity to miss time - or at least, play less effectively with some malady - I'm OK with having a better backup to actually win games (I know, they won one with DTR but it was the D that won them games, not the offense). Maybe next year, just would rather be going with more of a sure thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Browning would fetch much in a trade. Just look at how little Fields, Pickett, or Mac Jones were traded for. I’m on board with your idea but the market just doesn’t seem to be there, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a 28 year old rookie last year. In fact...now that I think about it if Stroud wasn't so good he should have been on all rookie teams.

They need to fix the problem, not stock up on bandages. Well… sure. But having a good backup QB is important, too. And the OL play hasn’t been the reason for an appendectomy (that we know of) or a calf strain. I love JB as much as the next guy, but he has had, what? One healthy year so far? And even with him hopefully taking fewer hits with better OL play, all it takes is one missed block or a big fatty rolling up (no pun intended) on you. So I still think if you find a backup QB who can actually help win games for you, that’s invaluable. Even if it’s just as an insurance policy that they hopefully never use. And they have Browning for 2 more years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Browning certainly has trade value. Overall, he played well last year, with a higher passer rating than most NFL starters, including Burrow. He's old, has bounced around and was basically a rookie last year. He throw too many interceptions. But he also pushed the ball down the field and completed passes at a high rate. Some team is going to be starting Drake Maye or Bo Nix this year. Browning has already shown he can play in the NFL. If Denver or Las Vegas doesn't find a rookie they can proclaim to be the future of the franchise, they may call the Bengals. Whether or not the Bengals will trade Browning is the question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I can’t find the final ADOT but he was not pushing the ball down the field. I can’t imagine the ADOT got much better post Vikings game. Probably hovered right around that 6.2 mark. Could he be a dollar store Purdy? Maybe. But at the same time - there aren’t many teams in the NFL set up like the 9ers or Bengals offensively for that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody else is going to trade anything but a late round flyer, possibly in next year’s draft, for Browning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that means anything or not to GMs who knows, but there is always a team that misses out on the 1st round QB come draft time that might be looking. True they’re all former first rounders. The point is that there’s no market for QB trades right now. You’d be getting very little in return if there’s any interest at all. Browning has more value to us since he knows our offense and would be cheap to keep around for the next couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think Denver or Vegas won't draft a QB? Bengals aren't looking to move Browning but he's better than some team's current starters. There is presumably some price that would pry him out of Cincinnati. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there will be more moves during or after the draft. Very unlikely Browning is moved or would get much in a trade. The market just isn’t there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
