Finely can't make the many of the throws he needs to it appears to me from watching the last two games. Why we are not playing the best QB we have is beyond me. Dalton (an average QB lately), is far superior to Finely. I think we win that game in Oakland if he played.
If they are losing on purpose to get the #1 pick, I also think that is ridiculous. Losing itself is hard on the psyche of the team. Many of these guys won't be in the league for long so to tank on purpose makes no sense and I couldn't imagine being asked to do that as a player. I don't believe ZT has done this.
Additionally, if we are moving on from Dalton, sitting him on the bench hurts his trade value, which in the end hurts our team. This team needs so many new starters that getting rid of one simply moves us in the wrong direction. I think we need at least 2 years of OL and LB drafts in the high rounds just to be competitive again. Maybe then we could take a QB. Burrow won't save the 2020 Bengals because of the piss poor OL.
A change in FA approach could help tremendously, but there's no point even discussing that angle.
