Instead they had watched Finley in practice all year and thought he might give them a better chance of winning than Dalton. If they did not care about having the best chance of winning games they would have never returned to Dalton.
I honestly think that move has a lot to do with why so many players are questioning Zac's talent evaluation skills this year.
I think they saw all they needed to see. (He had no shot of taking over the job for 2020)
Again, I don't think they played him because they thought he gave them a better shot at winning. They played him because winning games was secondary to evaluation at that point.
As far as Dalton being put back in, I think we all know the evalation was over (he failed). Giving him more games wasn't going to change what was already apparent. (We definitely needed a new QB)
