Who ya got for backup, Dolegala or Finley? (Andy Dalton will be a backup somewhere else).
For me, it's Dolegala. I think he beats out Finley for the backup job. At last he can throw the ball.

Neither. We need a legitimate backup.

Okay. I should have included this third option.

That's what everyone said about Finley also before they saw him in real games.
If Dalton is gone I think we sign Matt Moore. He played for Taylor in Miami.

I heard he took early Social Security and can only make an extra $14,000 a year.

That would be a perfect signing.

Doubt if this happens. Zac and Duke said before the combine that they have no use for a vet backup because whoever the starter is, is already surrounded by former QBs on the coaching staff...

What good do those guys do us if Burrow gets injured? Which one of them is going to suit up?

I would prefer a vet backup because there's a lot of good ones in FA this year, but since the FO has already said that's not happening...
Dolololologelala.
We know Finley is awful and doesn't have the arm to play, so there's no reason to keep him around.

Wish we could get Fitzy back as backup, but I'll take Dolegala over Finley. I'm not sure FInley can heave it far enough to hit a full stride AJ Green.

Dalton didn't benefit from having his first offensive minded HC and a QB friendly staff, though.
Going into 2019 ZT was supposed to revitalize the Marvin and Zampese/Lazor-dulled Dalton so it's hard for me to be super confident Burrow will be fine with just Finley in his ear.

Yup
When the smoke clears after the draft they may pick up some cheap vet but it doesn't seem backup QB is very high on the list. If it comes down to Dolegala and Finley I'd take Dolegala right quick.

Too soon to write off Finley.
Never judge a QB by his rookie season, especially when it is with the worst team in the league.

Those coaches could probably beat out Finley in an open competition for his roster spot though.

Still, it seems unlikely his arm will ever be good enough.

Odds are against Finley since he's pretty much tapped out athletically. I'd like to see what Dolegala can do in camp with the 2s.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Of the two you obviously pick Dolegala.
Noodle arm will not cut it period.

You know it will be Finley. Taylor won’t want to give up on his on guy he moved up to get.

Hope he learns as he seems to of with the moves that have been made so far.
You have to have a decent arm in the NFL.
