As Joe Burrow heads into his second season as the Cincinnati Bengals‘ quarterback, it’s important to put a reliable backup behind him. Brandon Allen is a good backup to have for Burrow because he’s an experienced veteran and has seen plenty of reps as a starter.

Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports doesn’t seem to agree, however, as he listed the Bengals’ backup quarterback situation in the bottom half of the league.
