I feel like we'll win 2-4 games with Dalton as QB. IF we go with Finley...we could go 0-16.

Jets, Dolphins, Browns (twice), Steelers...are all bad teams. We COULD LOSE to any of those teams. But, we could also beat some of them.

Heck, we could go 4-12 and the Bengals will be like 4-4 finish 2nd half of the season...the staff is great! Just took time.

We're in a bleak situation, but not bleak enough for the Bengals Management to drastically deviate.

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.

Doesnt matter what round you are. I think an aging Eli Manning is better than Dalton, Eli got benched..

MB clearly feels like AJ being on the field is essential to our success, so I can see him not holding losses against Dalton until AJ is back and even then it'll take a few bad performances before they start to count.

Dalton ain't the guy that's for sure. Better see what we have in Finley.

When you take a QB high...there's pressure to play them quick and develop them. There's no pressure to play 24 year old, 4th Round pick Finley.

As far as Dalton vs Manning - That's tough...and I think it depends on the season. Dalton actually has a 4pt higher QB rating for his career.

I'd tend to rate Manning as better because of his 2 SB's where Dalton wilts in the playoffs...but it's really close.

IF Dalton had a Top 5 pick sitting behind him...he'd get benched.

Dalton isn't horrible. He isn't great either. He corrected a few things early on and got better, but he isn't likely going to fix anything that's still less than perfect at this point.

At 0-7 with likely some high picks next year, this is a good time to play younger guys. One, to see what we've got and what we need to focus on in the draft. And, two, to let veterans know that of you play as bad as we've been playing, you'll get replaced.

That was one thing I always harped on Marvin about, not sitting vwets. Maybe that was more of a mile issue.

Ya know, you're probably right. After hearing his quote about how they won't move anyone at the trade deadline, they probably think they are so close to being a winning team despite being 0-8. They likely chalk it up to all the injuries. And I guess to be fair, we haven't seen this team with all of Green, Glenn, or Jonah yet. Perhaps they would be better. But I don't think they'd have a winning record even with them. The playcalling is too predictable. The defense doesn't cover the middle of the field.

Auden Tate with the double move and roasts Troy Hill. Then the throw from a clean pocket sails out of bounds.

That throw is not going to help anyone's cause.

I'm at the point that I really want to see what we have in Finley, especially soon. It'll give me a reason to watch the games.

Not to toot my horn ... aw who am I kidding? TOOT TOOT MOTHERTRUCKERS!!!

Funny how Trollberry never posted about any of Auden Tates drops.

Guess he figure those DO help someone's cause.

Sorry Fred...I just now read this post. I've been spending my time getting caught up on all the posts on Dalton getting benched.

No need to apologize.  It took me 30 hours to respond in the first place.

But you forgot your response.
