Therefore, I'm not expecting much, which could be good because I won't be disappointed when they go 0-9. Dalton has regressed with this coaching staff, which doesn't give me much in the way of confidence that they have the ability to bring along a new guy.
On the flip side, if Finley can be more on-target than Dalton has been, it could lead to some closer scores and a better chance to win.
But it's so too little, too late for a success season. That ship sailed weeks ago.
This does give Taylor one more excuse for this dismal season though, "we started a rookie QB". I, for one, still want Taylor gone, along with all his friends, and the sooner the better.
Finley gets more than 1 game. In fact, he gets 8 games IMO. This is exactly what they should have done. 0-8. It's not working, is Finley going to show something, enough to build on? Or was the QB not the major problem?
If he moves in the pocket, takes less sacks, has less balls batted down, and keeps possessions alive longer - we will be in better shape. Yes we have a shit ton of problems, we don't put up enough points. All he has to do is get some damn points on the board. If half of the drive is him running out of the pocket, oh well. We have something like 1 TD *all year* in the 3rd quarter.
We will see how much of our team's problems are coaching, are they going to change the game plan now? Or try to run Andy Daltonesque plays out for him?
