Bottom line: Finley had a good PS game, Andy had a crappy one; yet there are more people criticizing Finley's play than Andy's. 

Then I don't know where you've been the whole 9 years, because I'm pretty sure I've seen Andy criticized for just about anything you can criticize a QB for. Hell, dude's been criticized for COMPLETED passes. That said, yes, there are some who are overly critical and some who are overly defensive of Andy Dalton and aside from the guy you originally quoted, I don't really see people criticizing Finley's play. Certainly not to the degree Dalton got for his one missed pass last week.

I'd wager that the criticism of Finley would all but disappear if people weren't calling him to start or get a chance with the 1s.

Andy doesn't even sniff great for me.

We're gonna take a look-see on Finley because he was getting trashed in camp and miraculously played decent in PS.

You don't think even Phil would want to see an heir apparent for Dalton?

Andy's clock is ticking and even his most staunchest supporters know it.

I just have memories of Dan "The Fever" Lefevour gonna ball out.

It's pre-season.

Hey, if Finley ends up like Brady in that he sees the field due to an injury to Dalton but then plays so good that you keep him as the starter, that'd be fine with me. I'm a Bengal fan first and foremost. I want the Bengals to win and if that's with Finley, than that's what I want. That said, what we've seen from Finley, so far, is no different than what we've seen with McCarron and Driskel. Both had their shots to start and did NOT wrest the starting job away from Dalton, so you'll excuse me if I'm doubtful of it happening THIS time.
