Most teams would draft Finley. He’d have been drafted if we didn’t take him. What we don’t know is whether or not they view him as some sort of franchise QB, or what he’ll likely be - a solid NFL backup. Every NFL team has drafted a Ryanfinley before. He’s a prototype. Tall, white, decent to good arm, “heady,” (which I take to mean he has a head) and had reasonable success at the college level. AJ McCarron was a Ryanfinley model.

Regardless, he’s here, and he looked good enough in the preseason. We’re 0-8 and a few months away from having a high draft pick. The prudent thing to do is play him now and get a better idea of his ceiling. And basement.  Any other team, similarly situated, would also play their Ryanfinley just to make sure they didn’t get lucky and buy one of the few models with hidden upgrades.

Fair enough, I've got nothing against the guy I was just sort of replying with a sort of odd confidence as him.  The guy is a 4th round pick rookie, not exactly the type of QB "anyone" would have under center halfway through the season with their starting QB uninjured.

Then again, how often do non-Bengal teams start 0-8 and roll with their starting QB?
