    Siemian is not the high end backup QB you think he is- we signed him expecting him to be our backup, but he didn’t even make our practice squad out of camp. His struggles were the biggest non-Burrow story of the preseason. You could definitely have looked harder at the available options and made a deadline move, but there’s a good reason he hasn’t started a game.

      Yeah there’s a reason these veteran guys are available midseason, and it’s not the entire NFL undervaluing them. If Wentz and Siemian were high end backups, they would’ve secured their backup jobs for the year a long time ago.

        I don’t think anyone wants to see Wilson. We just assume literally anyone would be better than Boyle.
