Nah. You want your 2nd string to be competitive with the other teams 2nd string, 3rd string w/the 3rd string, etc. 

Bengals backups never look competitive against other backups. That's not doom and gloom, i'm not upset about it at all. It's just what it is and has been for some time. 

A decend backup QB would keep games so much closer but the offense just shuts down when Burrow goes out. For the live of me, i can't figure out how Browning looked as good as he did in '23 but has been so bad since. He should be able to complete some passes and lead at least one good drive.
