I merely mentioned that he now is immersed in a coaching staff that internally is vested in QB play so when watching game tape that Finley's use of the pocket might be a key note of discussion.

Now I'm making a dig at Dalton?

At times he has happy feet and abandons the pocket sometimes too soon.

Maybe we need to have our eyes checked??  

I couldn't care less if Finley played terrible in other plays but you can't ignore those ones were he did a good job.

Kurt Warner certainly took notice of what he was doing.

The happy feet comes from lack of trust in the offensive line. As someone said, "Dalton will make two reads and then freak out." This is entirely based on him not trusting his offensive line. That QB clock is shortened and that paranoia sets it. No, this isn't taking an issue away from Dalton. Dalton has to be able to forgive and forget. You see it from the best QBs (ala Rodgers/Roethlisberger) Heck, in the case of Big Ben, I've seen him not only get destroyed in the pocket but make some of the worst throws I've ever seen a QB make (especially a SB winner). Dalton's timing, his QB clock is shortened and this just goes to my personal issue, which is lack of confidence.

This can be changed with new personnel, more time with that personnel and of course, a good ol' pat in the back.
