How so?

His plan isn't working so he is looking to change it, you would think the players would be happy with that

Asked if this change is enough to turn things around, Shawn Williams said, “I’m not sure. I guess we just have to re-evaluate how these next eight games go, going forward see if Ryan is going to be the answer. At this point, what do you have to lose?” #Bengals

Yeah, it definitely doesn't sound like the locker room has been lost:

After talking with a few players the consensus is they all have high faith in Ryan Finley and trust him with the ball. Also believe that Andy Dalton will continue to be a leader of this team and help support Finley. #Bengals

All part of Zac's plan to move Dalton to the OC position.

Williams pretty much nailed it...what do they have to lose at this point?

Dalton haters rejoice. I wasn’t one, found him to be mostly average with the chance to really good when the rest of the team was as well. The time was right for this move though. Time to evaluate the young guys

Ooh let's call it The Pocket Protector

He isn't 185. He weighed in at 213 at the NFL combine.

I was excited about Finley until I read his draft profile. I think those Dalton haters are going to come on to similar issues with Finley. At this point? Who knows. I understand being excited about Finley but what we have seen from him in the preseason was against scrubs. His college stats aren't anything to get excited about and he struggled mightily against rivals. 

At this point, pissing in the wind, hoping a drop lands in a bucket.

I've seen several different weight mentions after looking him up.

I'm more inclined to believe high end 100s than low end 200s. 

His frame and lack of lean body mass was a huge issue with him on his draft profile. Definitely worries me about him taking hits.

Roster says 207 hmm ...not sure where I got 185.  I though it was on his wiki page but that's not right either.  My bad

If you jist Google ryan Finley weight it says 185.  I didn't expect it to be thst far off but those Insta results can be spotty.

I'd like to see a few younger guys get some snaps like Pratt over Brown and Brandon Wilson over Shawn Williams.

Shame guys like Darius Phillips are hurt hes another kid like to see get some snaps.

Just in case anyone wants to go ask for Bengals QB Andy Dalton ... There's about $8.47 million in base salary left this year, and a non-guaranteed $17.5 million base for 2020.

Bottom line: That contract is tradeable.

The Bears are my NFC team and i wouldn't mind Dalton suiting up there.

Andy Dalton, who threw for 329 yards and a touchdown without any turnovers against the Rams on Sunday, turns 32 years old today. Not the happiest of birthdays. If the Bengals are done with him, maybe they can do him a favor and trade him before today’s deadline.

With the announcement, i'd be very surprised if the phones didn't ring a bit more today leading up to the deadline...

[MasonDT70]

This is a good move in my opinion. I honestly think the bears should try and trade for Dalton as trubisky isnt really playing any better. Having a veteran like him around could help trubisky too.

I'm glad the Bengals are going to see what they have leading into the next draft cuz we all know they werent going to resign Dalton to a big deal but...

Someone get Finley a Sammich.

At the combine, Finley was 1" shorter and 8lbs lighter than Daniel Jones. Of course, everyone knows that players guzzle the water to add weight before weigh ins...

[Circleville Guy]

Happy Birthday Andy, maybe you’ll get lucky and be traded before the deadline.

[THE PISTONS]

Bengals need to trade Andy Dalton. Waiting to bench him right before deadline is kinda crazy - should have done it a week ago to give teams more notice. If he's not dealt by 4pm, it'll happen at the combine. He doesn't have a future there.

Zac on switch: not an easy decision. Furthest thing from truth is QB at fault. Andy has represented the franchise in best way possible

Isn't this Andy Dalton's birthday today?

Benched him on his birthday. Lol
