Yep, you don't get to be 0-8 because only a few things are wrong or you have bad luck or even because you had bad luck with injuries.  0-8 is a top to bottom crap fest and I get the idea of replacing a QB because he's the most impactful, but my stance is that putting Finley out there and Finley flopping gets a Dalton extension written up faster than Dalton stinking it up for the rest of the year does.

We might need to play the long game on this one.

Worst case: Finley sux and we go QB early in the draft next year,

Best case: Finley shows something and we can look to put pieces around him. 

Worst case:  Finley sucks and ZT and/or MB run back to Dalton and double down on him and declare him a key piece to build around ala AJ Green.
