Rational perspective on Finley's first start

[CJD]

While his comparison to Tom Brady's stat line from his first start has no bearing on Finley's future success, I do think Finley did a few good things in his first start.

Nothing he did was exceptional or particularly unique, but he has pocket mobility that Dalton has long since lost. He seems to keep his eyes downfield and isn't shaken by the pass rush as much as Dalton or even as much as a rookie would.

He is fairly accurate with his passes in the mid range and his fade pass is absolutely beautiful.

I think he'll be a good back up for Joe Burrow in 2021.
