When do we make the switch at QB?

I like Dalton a lot, but I'd rather let him take the beating this season than Finley. Let Finley learn unless Dalton gets hurt and he has to play. Plus, I'd like to think the Bengals may be able to trade Dalton and get something for him. Benching him would hurt his trade value. I understand we can cut him with no cap hit, but I'd rather bring back something than just let him go for nothing.

With Jonah back next season, hopefully re-sign Green, and hopefully some positive OLine contributors from the draft, next year could shape up as the perfect transition season for Finley to take over.

But we need to see Finley against actual starters to know if we should go QB in the draft next year or not.

With only one year left on his contract, his playoff and prime time woes, what looks like 4 losing seasons in a row, and his age, Dalton probably isn’t going to bring back that much in trade anyway.
