Like I said before.  Taylor could have started punting on first down and some of you would still have defended him because "since we weren't winning it was logical to try something different".

Well my guess would be there was two reasons for this:

1) They wanted to actually evaluate Finley in game situations against other teams and see what they had in him.

and

2) They were hopeful that the switch to a new guy who should have been hungry to prove he could be their QB would provide a spark.


Why they went back was simple, Finley wasn't what they thought he could be and looked horrible. The team wanted to avoid a winless season and realized Dalton was the best option to do that.


There is plenty to pick apart when it comes to the decisions of Taylor and company but I really didn't see the issue with the switch. 

The issue I had was not making the switch sooner and allowing time for a Dalton trade to happen so as to get something for him versus getting nothing as they did.
