Reasoning: This season is toast and we are waiting for Burrow now. We already know what Finley is (trash). Why not look at Allen and figure out if he is a viable backup in the longer term?

Should’ve kept Andy Dalton and sacrificed him to the gods behind this Oline while letting burrow sit a year.

Andy played behind a bad line last few years. Actually this is a better line than lasy year.

I'd rather see Allen too, just because watching Finley is painful and it makes me angry seeing such a turd out there.

That said, I see no way Allen is a viable backup for this team in 2021. They're going to need a somewhat experienced vet (Ex: Fitzmagic) to be around in case Burrow isn't around for the start of the year.

There's a reason Allen is on his 4th team in 5 years, and there's a reason no one has snagged him from the practice squad. But I still think he's better than Finley though. Almost anyone is better than Finley.

Yeah Finley sucked last year. He shouldn't be in the nfl.

Finley gives us the best chance to get trevor lawrence and the whole staff fired. Just keep doing what you are doing finley.

Blake Bortles please

There is absolutely nothing Finley can do that will cause Jacksonville to win 2 games and the Jets to win 3.

Allen is trash too. Worse completion percentage last year than Finley had.

Finley looks like an anorexic Olive Oyl, how can he last 6 games anyways?

It’s unbelievable that they decided to roll with him as the backup this year.

Apparently Burrow getting injured wasn’t a consideration in any capacity

And with the COVID protocols anyone can be out any week.

I'm on board with this too..
FINLEY IS GOD AWFUL!

He looks like a Heroin addict to me...

I will get hate for this but I think they should bring in Kaepernick. Clearly no other team is taking him so why not give him a shot. There is literally zero chance he would be worse than Finley, and they would be able to keep him on to start next year if need be and be a srviceable backup when Joe returns.

What is really going to suck from a financial side is the odds are that Joe will be out next year as well. This means we will have to use the savings from AJ to bring in a vet on a short deal. Being the qb position it will not be cheap. We also loose an year of savings from having a rookie qb by doing so. All because our coaches can't admit their draft pick in Jordan is not ready to start.

There are no odds anywhere that says this.

The money implications of keeping Dalton aside, Zac Taylor burned that bridge with Andy Dalton anyway. But yeah... It'd be nice to have a competent guy under center... Or calling plays and shots.
