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?

Oh, I don't disagree with putting Finley in. In fact, I'd put Finley in for 4 weeks, then Dolegala for 4 weeks.

I'm just saying that the cluster-f'k of a coaching staff and bad play on the OL aren't going to be fixed by Finley. Dalton regressed badly this year. That doesn't bode well for what Taylor brings to the table with QBs.

The play calling has had some series where it looked good, but for the most part it was predictable and stale (which is what we said about Marvin's coordinators).
