I'm not on the Finley bandwagon yet, but it's an interesting "development" if you can call two games that.
If he's for real, then that opens a door that few teams have the opportunity to exploit. Getting a good qb in the middle rounds means you have a cheap qb for a few years. It means you can build a roster around him without him eating your cap. See LA and Seattle. Is Mike Brown going to do that even given the opportunity? Who knows?
What I do know is that Dak Prescott thinks he should get 40 mil per year. He's not what I consider a top tier qb. He's upper middle at best. He's going to get 35 mil minimum. Andy is probably lower middle at this point. I like the guy, and for the right price, he's not a bad player to run your offense.
That said, there's no way in hell I want to pay him 30 mil a year to be Andy Dalton. Just no. Especially no if the team sucks (it probably will) and ends up with a top 5 pick in 2020. Also no if Finley gets playing time and shows that he can handle it.
All I can say is, I'm rolling with Andy until the season is totally lost, but after that I may want to see more from Finley to make a decision.
