Not sure what QB could help Burrow, but if it was one who wore stripes this year, I would have picked Allen as he has actually been around awhile and played some NFL games and been with successful QBs. Also, if Allen was with the Rams with Taylor, he should have some experience with the system as well, one come surmise. Finley may have a beautiful QB mind for all I know, but he brought a helmet to the field, means he may need to play. Zach, Tobin, Brown, whoever, Finley being picked ( in moving up ) and then installed as the #2 here is a mistake. Allen might prove to be ho hum, himself, but Finley is not a worthy #2, in my opinion, but is being shoe horned into it when other options were out there.
I'd agree with all of that...but you and I both are speculating about why Finley was there .... that's the only thing we're not in 100% agreement on.
As to helping Joe, I only say that due to lack.of OTAs and a preseason, so I'm guessing they had him on the sidelines to help Joe with things that he didn't get an opportunity to practice. That's the only scenario that makes any sense to me.
