Why Nick Foles makes sense for the Bengals
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Joe Burrow is almost certain to be completely healthy at some point. But that point might not be right now.
In the meantime, the Bengals—and head coach Zac Taylor—cannot survive without a good backup quarterback. Brandon Allen doesn’t seem to be a guy who can win meaningful games.
Recently, we had expert analyst Joe Goodberry on our show and asked him if there are any backup quarterbacks the Bengals should be considering.
His suggestion? Nick Foles.
“If Burrow’s only 85 percent healthy, that 85 percent is still way better than Brandon Allen,” Goodberry said. “But maybe it’s not better than a Nick Foles, or it’s arguable, if Nick Foles is playing well.”
