Wasn't he told on the first full day of practice after the team got back from London?
The problem is, IMHO, like the majority of the time there was no real plan, they just kinda wing it. Mostly because MB won't let there be a plan.
Most new HC's want to start fresh with "their QB" especially offensive new HC's. ZT couldn't come in and fix it all in a shortened amount of time, most people get that, however.
They moved up to draft Finley so it seems they had an added interest in seeing what he's got. So they say to themselves if we start out and just can't get it going with Dalton by game 6 we're going to shop him to trade for picks, before the deadline. We know from last couple seasons Dalton is most likely not going to be our answer moving forward. If we're bad enough we may shop others as well, and admit it's a rebuild.
But MB has a stick way to far up his @#$ to be proactive and forward think like that.
They could have done better by Dalton, but in the same breath AD had to know it was coming.
