From what I've read and gathered, Finley was kept number 2 because he had a year in the offense and was there to help Joe with that and on the tablet after series with Pichter. Allen was brought in as the Covid QB due to familiarity with Callahan in Denver, and Taylor in LA. As soon as Burrow went down, they called Allen up the following Monday.
Not speculation Finley was #2 on this team. The covid safety bubble thing was done with keeping Finley as #2. Burrow went down and Finley played. Allen had to be called up. Those are the facts. Opinion is if Finley or Allen was a better player. Majority say Finley is not good, at least as good as Allen. If that is the case, he should not have been the #2 QB, regardless of any situation, but he was. How did Allen get to play? It wasn't because he won rock, paper, scissors to go in. It is of the opinion that Finley should not have played a snap unless Burrow and Allen both went down or covid hit the QB room. That is the feeling and that is the statement being made and I'm not sure what hill people seem to want to build to battle on.
