BengalChamps Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 What if:1. Kitna signs with another team.2. Marvin's private reports on CP's rehab is that it is NOT going well.3. No deal can be made for Matt Schaub(I like him) or comparable backup. (please dont even mention Pat Ramsey)4. Marvin really doesn't trust Krenzel.This might lead the Bengals to draft a first day or even first round QB to fill the void until CP's return. Then you could trade him in a year like the Falcons traded Favre.Ramifications:1. Another big name QB kills our cap balance with huge signing bonus.2. SS/DT needs still not addressed early in the draft.3. Hard to WIN NOW! with rookie QB.My thoughts:As much as don't think Kitna can get it done, he would be more cap friendly than a big name QB from the draft. He would also have a better chance to WIN NOW! than a rookie. Veteran's on the team respect Kitna. We really nead to make Kitna an offseason priority.

walshfan Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I would imagine that Marvin has taken all your concerns into account.If anyone other than Kitna starts the season for the Bengals at QB I would imagine it will be a veteran.... Jaime Martin played with Zampese for one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybren Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I would imagine that Marvin is preparing for Carson being out for several games, regardless of how his rehab is going. Does this mean drafting a QB in the first 3 rounds? I don't think so. Seeing him bring in guys like Kevin Hardy for short-term help would seem to indicate his modis operandi. If Kitna goes, he'll sign a mid-range free agent that will underwelm all off us, but won't cost us any games either. A rookie QB would cost us games. And just ask San Diego what it means to lose early games when you're playing a first place schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsLB Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 we wouldn't draft QB in round 1 probably 2 or 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Marvin in a press conference said that he wanted Kitna back or they will bring in a vet and count on him as the starter. He will get all the snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
