The Cincinnati Bengals have a major question mark at the most important position in the NFL.
Following the injury to Joe Burrow, which will keep him out until at least mid-December, the team has been relying on Jake Browning, who has been nothing short of horrible over the last three weeks.
Just days after giving Browning his "unwavering" support, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor quickly changed his tune on the signal-caller after his putrid Week 5 performance and left the door for a change at the position.
"After a game like that, we're going to look at all personnel to make sure we're doing the right thing," Taylor said about Browning moving forward, per ESPN's Ben Baby. "I won't shy away from that because it's a very fair question after the amount of turnovers that we had."
So, when can we expect a decision to be made for Week 6?
Well, Taylor said on Monday that he is anticipating a decision being made by the time the team takes the practice field on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr.
"Taylor said he expects to have the QB vs Green Bay established by the time they take the practice field on Wednesday," Dehner Jr. reported.
Cincinnati's in-house options aren't exactly great.
If Browning doesn't start, the Bengals will have to choose between Brett Rypien, Mike White and Sean Clifford, none of whom are guaranteed to be better than Browning.
However, the team has to try and do something because clearly the current situation is not working out.
The team should also explore a trade for guys like Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Jameis Winston and Joe Flacco, but it remains to be seen if that will happen.
