Of course Finley had a chance to "pad his stats" against the Raiders 25th ranked pass defense and what did he do? 115 yards and a 39.0 passer rating.
So lets just eliminate all of those games and look at games against "common opponents" even those those common opponents played different defensive line ups in their 2 games against the Bengals.
Finley faced the fourth , fifth and 21st ranked defenses. Dalton lost to the 32nd(fins), 31st(Cards),26th(Hawks),27th(Jags). Any more cherry picking you'd like to do?
