Being able to handle pressure and having that pocket awareness and ability to maneuver and keep eyes downfield matters not whether it's against the 1st string, 3rd string, or 5th string D.
I'm not trying to say he's our surefire starter but in the same breath he shows a lot of what you look for in a starter. We need to see way more to be sure but he's off to a fine start.
And in saying this I'm in no way saying we should bench Dalton and put him in, it's to early, way to early !
If Dalton asks for a big contract and doesn't necessarily "earn" it this year, I'd be fine with letting Dalton go and rolling with Finley in 2020 to see what he's got. Especially if we do just well enough this season to take us out of the running for one of top QB prospects in the next draft class.
Worst case scenario, we end up drafting a QB in 2021 if Finley doesn't cut it. Could be Lawrence.
Everything in this post is my fault.
