Afraid that he's better than Dalton is the issue. Invest too much into 1st QB, problem be.
Really, let us fans watch something different than the trash that's put out there every week for 3 hours, with 2 seconds of AJ Green rolling his eyes, on repeat.

Not in playoff games, but 4 games is a pretty small sample to judge an entire career. There have been some very good QBs who did not look good in their first 4 playoff games.

Boomer and Carson both went nuclear on his lazy ass, so if Dalton is willing to just run out his career here I don't see Mike Brown kicking his ass out.
The way I see it is that Dalton getting benched is unlikely and Finley coming in and being better than Dalton in this terrible situation is even lower. The odds of Dalton being benched and Finley being better are so low that I can say I hope for it to happen, but I realize that Finley is likely the answer as long as he stays on the bench.
Remember last year, we were sort of excited by default to see what Diskel could do...that lasted about 3 seconds as soon as we got our wish. Late round pick QB in a hopeless situation...meh, you've seen the Browns doing that for years, right?
EDIT - I've also said that I have a hard time believing Mike Brown outright fired Marvin and that Marvin was just like "Ehh...I'm good with leaving" and that was that. Mike Brown will do anything to avoid doing stuff. See this trade deadline for further evidence.

I'm not going to never put a backup QB in because Jeff Driskel failed. That's Mike Brown territory thinking.
(10-27-2019, 09:24 PM)rfaulk34 Wrote: [ -> ]Correct! He made clutch throws to get the Bengals to the cusp of winning in a couple of the most crucial games.
But he never made one single clutch throw in the most crucial games to win the game.
Thanks for correcting that, it makes sooooooo much difference.![]()
The prosecution rests, your Honor!
P.S. Dalton sucks ass as an NFL QB and WILL NEVER ACCOMPLISH ANTHING MORE THAN HE'S ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE CINCINNATI BENGALS OR ANY OTHER NFL TEAM. Roll that up and smoke it.

EDIT - I bring up Driskel because like many backup QBs he was an exciting prospect until he actually played.

I am not say don't get Finley a chance, but expect to lose if you do the rest of 2019. Finley is not Daniel Jones.
