You’ve seen what he can do which is why you put him in. Best case scenario he isn’t ready yet (we all know he never will be). Get him out and give the other rookie a chance to put something on tape, or put Dalton in to try to win a game and let him end his bengals career as a starter since the rookie is no good

I had a thought the other day while driving to the gym. I wondered if Finely continued to stink it up and they weren't willing to put Dolegala in, if they'd go back to Dalton the last 3 or 4 games for 2 reasons: 

1. Give the team some kind of chance to win 1 or 2.
2. Hope that he plays decent enough to up his trade value at the draft. 

Ten seasons is more than enough to see that he's not the answer here, so sticking with him next year would just be a repeat of the last 4 years.
