Did you watch the fourth week of pre-season?  Don't you think maybe Allen was cut because he threw multiple picks to back-ups?  

I don't expect much from Nassib, but it would appear the F.O. wants a "plan C" at QB.  They know what Henne is and they're quickly losing faith in the "make Blake a game manager" blueprint, so they brought in a guy that knows the system to a degree.  

It's better than doing nothing, I guess.

I don't think Allen was cut for that reason. I believe we came into the preseason knowing we would only have 2 QB's on the active roster. They thought they could stash Allen on the PS as an emergency QB and when he was signed away, they decided to take their chances with Bortles and Henne and hope for the best. 

My point is, if the front office wanted a plan C at QB, why wait until now? Knowing Bortles struggles last year and knowing that Henne is what he always was, why not develop a plan C before the season actually started? This just wreaks of a move to try and satisfy the most vocal angry fans. Pulling some QB off the trash heap at this point in time, is not gonna make a difference at all. It just takes up a valuable roster spot. 

I knew we'd probably be very bad before the season started and I made peace with that, as long as we ended up with a new QB in the next draft. Some people had completely unrealistic expectations for this team though and now they are shocked when things don't go our way, so they come up with every scenario under the sun to try and make us a Super Bowl contender overnight. I'd rather fill that roster spot with an O-Linemen, a LB or a TE. Someone who might actually contribute at some point in the season. Not some QB who offers us nothing more than what we already have.
