McCarron was much better than Driskel. That said, you watch tape, and watch Bama games, he's a poor man's Andy Dalton. Again, what are you hoping to see?
Andy Dalton at one time played like a top 15-12 QB. He's now a middle of the pack guy on a really bad team. He can't elevate it to beyond bad. However, this time around we do actually have a guy with potential, so the call was right to try the kid out. I don't think Finley is a talent that will transcend the team around him, but he might play better than Andy, and if he does, he's probably worth a look moving forward.
See, THAT'S the difference. That's objective observation. That's not just blindly hating a guy and looking to put in any Tom, Dick, and Harry just because he's not #14.
I'm a Bengals fan. I'm not a fan of Mike Brown. So while it may appear to a person that constantly hates on AD that I'm in some gang, it's actually that I realize this organization is a shit show (has been for 28 years) and I might be inclined to side with a player over Son of Paul. I do think Dalton is better than he gets credit for. In that same breath, I have no illusions that he's anything more than average, with above average stretches when he has good blocking.
Andy dalton is not good,and people are tired of his game that's all there is to it with the sick of dalton crowd. If you evaluate a qb the right way you would see that. He has times where hes alright but more often then not hes not. It has little to do with who mccaron is or who driskel is but to try someone else.
Once again mccaron isnt that good,but he was a game manager. And won because of it. In his game hes not a quick short hard passer like dalton is. That's daltons only strength and why the offense slowed down when McCarron took over. They called plays where he had to scan the field. And he did that better then dalton. McCarron is now gone,so big deal it doesnt matter but I dont hate the guy,he didnt even get a full season here to really get tired of his play. Driskel was the only backup on the roster to look at. And if you look at his history he had a chance to start for a top school. But I forget what happened and he went to a lesser school. His ability to run was intriguing. And he did not get no respect from the refs because his name is driskel. And he even tied some games without green and eifert. I was still done with what I seen out of him at the end. But the guy will not get anymore opportunity because he didnt look great and a very low draft pick. That's the way it is with low draft picks. They dont get much opportunity. I do agree with you about finley. But you need to put your hate aside for people wanting to try different QBs. Because half the fanbase is tired of watching daltons game. .
