The part of switching from Dalton to Finley that I'm most excited about seeing is the out of structure throws. It's pretty much a given that if a play breaks down with Dalton as the QB, the play is done. Curious to see if Finley can make plays out of the pocket or in a messy pocket: I'm most excited to see throws to the boundary that don't go OOB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyBacall Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hypothetical Q: If the Bengals were the team that drafted Gardner Minshew and have the first pick in 2020, do we go QB or Chase Young? If Finley shows flashes of being a legitimate starter, do we pass on 1st round QB in 2020? Do we double down hoping that we hit on the most important position in football, perhaps trading the lesser for another pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think that’s the idea. If Finley looks good go Chase Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that's going to cause a divide is, how good does Finley have to look? Can that be quantified to some degree now, or do we just have to go on gut feel?

At this point, Chase is in my opinion the best player in the draft, so I have 0 issue with drafting him. Our pass rush has been pretty disappointing all season. Biggest concern on Finley is arm strength, same reason he wasn't a first round pick. But if he plays well enough to be given a shot next year, we probably are picking 4th or 5th at the earliest. There are a lot of bad teams out there right now and we play quite a few these last 8 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Also, I really enjoy the same pundits that have trashed Andy for years wanted him traded at the deadline because he would help some other team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think Finley can win a game or two. He’s gonna have to come out on fire or this could get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of bad teams out there right now and we play quite a few these last 8 games. Part of that reason is because they're always behind. The teams with good pass rushes are the teams that actual hold leads. There's a reason for that. I don't have a problem with Chase either, but it better mean they've addressed QB somehow. Because i don't care how good Chase is - a lesser QB still has way more impact on the game than a DE. And while Dalton may not be the problem, a better QB can be the solution. You could argue this team could have 3-4 wins currently if they were getting top 5 QB performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either but I'll be rooting like hell for Ryan Finley to be a legit QB. I liked what I saw in preseason, and hope with him at QB that Zac Taylor's play calling improves. Need some positive in this train wreck of a season. Also, figure worse case we can get a stud OT if we do drop to say pick 5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the failure to execute in all phases has been so obvious, I doubt we creep up too high. 4-4 is about the best I would hope for based on the way we have played. However, I would be fine if we ended up in a position to take a stud player at linebacker, DE or offensive line rather than a qb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 If Finley proves we don't need to take a QB, then odds are we won't draft high enough to take Chase Young (3rd pick at the latest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
