Starting Finley will do absolutely nothing in the win/loss column. And in truth I would be torn either way. Sure, Finley needs a look in real time. He is likely not the future, agreed. Dalton certainly is not.
Problem is, Mikey is not trading Dalton, nor is it likely he will be signed to an extension. Mikey will pay out Dalton to the end, then let him walk in FA. It's the Mike Brown way. So with that mentality, he will not rock the boat in hopes Dalton will be a good little trooper and play nice till then - which means not benching him and throwing Finley in for a look. I am sure Zac has been instructed as much.
Also, to make things a bit more interesting - just by watching Dalton, it almost seems as if he's tanking at times to get out of town. Making sure there will be no offer for an extension. Not saying he's worth keeping, but body language on the field this season speaks as much. Just my take.
