Granted, he’s on a Cardinals team which is a shitshow on turf but come on!
Let’s be careful about anointing Ryan Finley the next Tom Brady — or even the next Ken Anderson — until we see him play with the first team offense against an opposing first team defense.

He has had a lot of pressure on him and he didn't panic. I hate to say it but these are great intangibles that the best have regardless of their O-line and as much as I dislike the Dalton hate, Dalton used to panic in the pocket before Van Pelt got here. I think we finally have a great QB coach that can help out our QB's. Finley is definitely the #2 IMHO.
We will see how he plays the next two Preseason games but I honestly like the guy a lot more than AJM.
Oh I fully agree it's way to early to proclaim he's the next_________________ insert Star QB here, or even say he should be our starter. WAY TO EARLY
However, let me put it this way, I feel better about him as a young mid round somewhat project QB than anybody I can think of in any kind of recent history.
Will he turn into a gem ?? Or flame out ?? who knows
