Finley after the bye week?

So why not give Findley and others their chance to prove they can play in the NFL by giving him and others more snaps and some vets less snaps.

The idea the team would say ZT has given up has no merit when the guys paid to do well have not. done well.

Let Findley and Jake QB the team after the bye, alternate them each week and treat the rest of the year like preseason. Why not?

i agree except for alternating the QBs. Finley is #2 and deserves the chance to prove himself or not. If he fails from the get go, then later i could see Dolegala getting in the last couple games, but i'm not really sure how ready he is to step onto an NFL field against #1's. They may not want to play him at all this year. 

I can see making a case for waiting till after the bye. If (when ) they're 0-8 and they still going exactly nowhere, i can see where they gave it a shot, it didn't work, then they make changes when they have 2 weeks to prepare new players and then see how the rest of the season plays out. It's frustrating (if) the changes make a difference and we look back and say "what if they pulled the trigger sooner" but that's exactly the way the Bengals operate. Always the reactors, never the actors. 

The most likely scenario, though, is them playing out the season with Dalton out there every single game, every single drive, every single down.
