So the only way to tank is to play back ups. In order to do this you either have to trade away starters or bench them for minor injuries.
I think Taylor began to lose the locker room last year when he benched Dalton for Finley. Vets who were putting the bodies on the line to play were probably pissed off that the coach was not giving them a chance to win.
If you never gave Finley a look, you wouldn't know what you had. I don't blame Taylor at all for giving Finley a look after Dalton went 0 for 8, but I do blame him for keeping Finley as the #2
