Finley has played very well against what he has played against both times out. Dalton has not..... yet again. Why do you not hold Dalton to as high a standard? Why do fans give him a pass? For 2015? For 2011? Lets move forward into 2019.
Once you wake up from your nap, check my second post in this very thread.
I'm not married to Dalton as our long-term QB. I am perfectly fine having the discussion about replacing him in the next couple of years. Frankly I welcome it. But barring a season ending injury, he's our starter this year. And that's going to keep Finley off the field, whether you like it or not. We are not blind fanboys just because we perceive the reality in which we live.
Dalton played horribly, the entire first unit played horribly. Having that many penalties is going to make it next to impossible to establish any sort of rhythm. That's not making excuses. That's recognizing and stating a basic truth.
Finley played well considering his level of competition. I recognized that. But he is our backup, and he played how I expect a backup to play - competently. I also harbor serious doubts that the future of our QB position is going to be taken up by a 4th rounder with well-documented issues with arm strength. History is more against Finley in that regard than not.
I am of the opinion that our next starting QB is going to be a high draft pick. It won't be Finley. I have no problem giving him a shot, but that's my feeling. Save this post and feel free to gloat in two years' time if I'm wrong.
Everything in this post is my fault.
