Bengals Interested in aquiring Matt Shaub for (1 Viewer)

I'd say this speaks volumes as to how worried they are about Palmer coming back and being effective next year. It seems every one in the league knows Schaub is a starting QB waiting to happen. Why would Cincy be interested in another starting QB if they have faith in Palmer being ready?
That's one way to look at it. Another is that if Schaub were that good then someone would be starting him right now. There's a reason he's a back up. Does he have upside? I think so. Will he start someday? I don't know but I do think he'll get an opportunity someday if the price is reasonable.As for Cinn, with Kitna expressing an interst in moving on (likely agent negotiating tatic) then they have to plan that might happen. So we're going to hear all kinds of rumors about possible moves. All but 1 will be a rumor. Schaub is like a media and fan darling because of the criticism Vick gets. He's in a great situation from that perspective because everyone loves him. And he's looked good in preseason which has fueled the admiration. Fact is he likely wouldn't look anywhere near that good in the regular season.

Cinn is worried about having a good back up which every team wants to have. They want to know that someone could fill in for a few games and keep their team in it. But they also realize they aren't likely to have a "starter quality" back up without dipping too much into their cap money.
