Troy Aikman played for a HORRIBLE team his rookie year. He finished 0-11 as a starter with twice as many interceptions (18) as td passes (9) and a 55.7 passer rating.
Even a good veteran QB like Andy Dalton look bad playing for this years Bengals. So don't be to quick to give up on Finley.
Finley has a porous oline no doubt. Any porous oline will cause
A QBs mechanics to falter
But the game was very different when Aikmen played.
A QB didn't need a rocket arm to prosper.
Defenders at that time were nowhere as big and fast as they
Are now.
Finley is a pure timIng and dink and dunk QB.
QB now have to extend plays and put the ball in really tight windows
Finley just doesn't have enough juice in his arm to be considered a threat at the position
