Now he has played a couple of quarters in preseason against back ups and com pleted a bunch of short passes he is the mdia darling.  Unfortunately this is also over reaction.

The truth is probably somewher between those two extremes.  Finley probably has the potential to be a very good back up or maybe even a starter, but he has not done anything that would justify giving him a shot to start over Dalton.

Right.

I'm impressed with Finley but he's playing against back ups. Sure, you should be able to stand up over those players you're playing against. He's doing that, but these are 2s and 3s. So, we will see. 

Of course, like AJM and Driskel, it's another player people want over Dalton. It's all good until they start and nothing changes.
