Finley's "pocket awareness"

At the time Dalton went down, we were averaging a putrid 59.5 rush yards per game (we've averaged 138.7 in Finley's 3 starts), and 2 of our top 3 receivers are out. Not to mention our defense is 29th in turnovers forced and dead last in yards allowed, which means fewer opportunities for the offense.

Dalton is the same as he's ever been. A solid starter. Nothing amazing, nor abysmal. He can get it done if the team is solid around him. It's far from that. That said, it's beyond time to move on. The relationship is fractured, and at some point you just have to try something else. Especially when the team is rebuilding.

I wish Dalton well, he put in some good years for us and was a class act off the field. I can't wait to see what he can offer a different team, and I'm also looking forward to seeing Joe Burrow as a Bengal, assuming we fix this o-line and make some acquisitions on the defensive side.

As to Finley. It's a wrap. I'd give him the rest of the season (why not?), but he has a noodle arm. You can't fix that.

Dalton was 0-10 in his last ten starts against Pitt. Given nine more chances how worse can Finley be? How come when its Dalton's ineptitude its the players around him but you act like Finley is playing with an all pro team. Don't look now but your Andyness is showing.
