Seems like he went to the Hue Jackson "you lost your job" school of interviewing, So IMO we're seeing more Andy fans than Bengal fans in this thread.

My take is that Dalton wants to play and ZT says he has to evaluate Finley to see if he needs to draft a QB for 2020 and onward.  This plan has zero intent of Dalton ever being under center again and if that is the plan then why not get Dalton out of there?  We have a lot of holes on the roster and we plan to build through the draft and never start Dalton again so it seems logical to move him for capital.  There is still time for that, of course, but I get Dalton's frustration.

We will know more about this when ZT's career is over.  If he keeps on this path where he looks like he shouldn't be a HC then Dalton will go down as a scapegoat...an average and middling one, but a scapegoat. Again, we saw this in 2014 when Mark Trestman who had no business being an NFL coach benched Jay Cutler for Jimmy Claussen in hopes that he could disguise his charade of a HC career with a QB change. Is this the same situation? Time will tell, I guess.
