He missed throws to open receivers, while the game was still in a competitive frame, at least one that would have been a for-sure TD. I think waiting until after the 8th game was wishy-washy on the part of the team. If they were going to bench him and check out the kid, they should have done that 3 or 4 games ago.

Quote:OswaldsLegacy Had to be done. Why so terrible? It's not up to Andy to leave since he has a contract. He can retire, but he can't go to another team. Dude has victories, but no playoff wins. Most convincingly, he's 0-8 as a leader of the offense. If you don't bench him and try something new then you get bashed for that also. Quote:I don't buy for one moment that this is to "see what they have in Finley." Since we still won't really see anything. The terrible OLine, the lack of running game, and no consistency on defense. Oh, well Finley may have Green out there, so he may perform slightly better. If you really want me to buy the Finley nonsense, then bench Green for a few games as well. Let us see what Finley can do under the same circumstances, especially against the Ravens and Steelers. What? Why wouldn't you see what you have in Finley if you are 0-8? So what if he looses you a game or 2 or all? It let's you refocus on the draft or even give Dolegala a try to see what he's got. Plus, if he wins? SHEEET, you start to see things in the micro-dish. As for Green, watch his interview about the benching and then rethink. Quote:I don't dislike Finley, I wouldn't have a problem with him taking over for Dalton, however this looks like they are just floundering along with no real plan in place. If that is the case, then that would explain players looking lost out there on the field. Again, watch the interview with AJ and others regarding the benching. You get a sense they feel this is a positive thing. Quote:The other telling thing from this interview is that basically ZT has admitted to Dalton that this is his last year here. Either they are moving on with Finley or they will be drafting a QB with their 1st round pick. Either way, Dalton isn't in the plans. Not true. 0-8 team realizing they are 0-8. Time to see what other players they are paying can bring to the table. Time to actually re-evaluate everything. Quote:This doesn't look good no matter how you try to spin it. Actually, no offense, but I've been hoping for this for a few weeks now. And although I understand where you are coming from, I hope the moves bring some good things (Damnit Marvin)! But it wont. Everything I've hoped for years where the Bengals are concerned crashes to the ground in a fiery demise. But? Maybe this time it's different?

Agree It seems from Dalton's reaction there hasn't been any previous discussion about this. It should have been done at least a couple games ago if not 3 or 4 like you say.

It’s clearly about the bye week, and giving Finley more time to prepare.

He has millions and a wife that can stay home and plan and decorate a glorious party for him months in advance. It's about his birth not his benching after all. Heck, now that he's benched, he can invite Driskell to his party.

Seriously?!This is how Andy should be looking at it a chance to step back take a breath look in mirror and see how he can improve himself to be a better QB. Not scream to go to another team right away.

I would have done it professionally, somberly, and with respect. That way Andy Dalton and his agent would have had maybe 36 hours to work a deal elsewhere rather than the stingy 90 minutes Mikey Boy and Zac gave them.Then Andy would of opened the door on plane through ZT out the air suction would of pulled all the other players out with ZT then where would we be at?

Totally agree with this. Dalton looked good in Seattle, but since then? Batted down passes, throwing out of bounds, missing receivers and also waaaay bad over throws and failure to move in the pocket is the reason he's riding the pine (or aluminum) in game 9. 3 picks in 5 plays week before last and one that went for 6? Geez! I wanted this move done a few weeks ago when we actually had a chance to recover. And although it appears the timing that ZT did this seems cruel, I ask why in the heck did he wait so long as well? Waiting till now to do this is not improving much. But finally doing it was the right call. You simply can't let this dude continue "in regards of his past performances" this year. In addition, every player faces an end, regardless how great they once was. Is this his end? That depends on him, but his performance say's he's losing it, and losing it fast. I guess I'll state it much simpler: Andy lost his job as the starter.

I'm saying they could have given him MORE time by doing it earlier, like Sunday or the next day. Hell, even first thing in the morning, not until later in the morning.

Andy would have been benched at some point on most teams in the NFL at some points over the past 9 years. It's pretty amazing that this was the 1st time here. Granted some years he was above average to dare I say good 1 or 2 seasons.

Talking about compared to the other games. Like I said, the Jax game he stunk it up. He threw for over 300 yards, passed over 50 times, no run game and horrible defense. Was he playing great? No. But what in that game was any worse than the previous 3 games? If the 3 picks wasn't enough, what was the straw that broke the camel's back this past week? Zach embarrassed in front of his old team? The time has come, but this was not a well executed transition.

He mentioned he has done a lot for the city, and he has. However, doing a lot for the city does not solidify your position at your job. I doubt he's really upset about the trade deadline because honestly, it's not even up to him. When this thing sinks in, he will realize this.AJ did handle it much better and I agree he understands its nothing personal they are doing whats best for the Bengals as they should emotions be damned. In Dalton's interview when asked about Finley you could see Dalton took a deep breath and relaxed some they are friends you can tell. He said it was not Finley's fault he did nothing wrong after a few days he will be a mentor for Finley like Kitna was for Palmer. That is his job description now so he needs to just help his friend Finley become the best QB he can. Palmer should of done this with Dalton when he came into the league I don't think he had that chance because Palmer was bitter on the way out let's hope Dalton see this and gives Finley every chance to succeed.

My issue is the timing. Wish they made the change years ago. I agree we have to see what we have, but why do this literally a couple hours before the trade deadline? Why keep a player who you know will be disgruntled on the team instead of getting something for him. That’s the part I don’t get at all. Every time this team makes any kind of positive decision it’s always hand in hand with a wtf moment. So frustrating.

Now get me a QB that can win when things are not perfect because they rarely are in the NFL.
