It was actually Justin that settled the issue long ago.

6/6/2019 6:09:19 PM

Actually, I thought he would be a perfectly serviceable backup QB. I was apparently mistaken.

6/6/2019 7:47:35 PM

Unfortunately I don’t think he has the arm strength for the NFL, but hope he proves me wrong.

6/7/2019 8:40:45 PM

^ didnt he have one of the fastest balls of anyone at the combine?

Here you go Justin. Argue with this guy.

Quote :

"Outstanding efficiency during the preseason doesn't always translate to success in the regular season, though the traits Finley has displayed do. Finley shined because of a combination of poise, pocket navigation, anticipation and an understanding of what the defense gives him. He knows how to run an offense. In some ways, Finley is Matt Ryan-esque in his approach. There's nothing fancy about it, but it's usually effective. He worked from under center (three-, five- and seven-step drops), shotgun and play action. He completed timing passes and deep in routes into tight windows. "

now he is surrounded with literal NFL talent, so I guess he'll be ok

Ah shit, yeah I meant to bump the other thread. Oh well.

8/18/2019 8:56:49 PM

^^needs to be surrounded by uhh whatevers next.. All pro talent at least

8/18/2019 9:09:35 PM

Looks like he might start week 10

10/29/2019 1:52:30 PM

good luck fam.


Bengals clearly all in on tanking now

10/29/2019 1:59:52 PM

10/29/2019 2:19:13 PM

just checked out yesterday’s box score

wow

11/18/2019 1:19:18 PM

Classic clutch Finley

11/18/2019 4:09:06 PM

He's averaging 8.6 ypc. Nice!

11/19/2019 12:07:05 PM

Somehow Finley's td pass td helps both justin and anti Justins!

That thing was wobbling like....i don't know, something that wobbles?

11/24/2019 2:41:56 PM

Lmao clutch Finley strikes again! Sack fumble to essentially end the game. The tank rolls on.

11/25/2019 4:57:17 PM

Finley will be starting Week 2 next year when Tagovailoa gets a season ending injury

11/25/2019 6:19:14 PM

i would be highly surprised if finley ever started another game, he is statistically the worst QB in the NFL this year.

11/25/2019 6:22:57 PM

are you sure "highly surprised" is what you were looking for there?

because its crazy to think he has started the last reg season game of his NFL career already


[Edited on November 25, 2019 at 7:50 PM. Reason : ]

11/25/2019 7:48:31 PM

Have you looked at his stats after 3 starts? He's basically Akili Smith part 2.

11/25/2019 8:46:54 PM

I don't think I've ever wanted anything as much as Justin wants Finley to fail. I've never seen an nc state fan rooting so hard against an nc state player.

Also cincy prob has the worst oline in the league.

11/25/2019 9:05:50 PM

Was not a huge Finley fan but dude was solid college QB who just wasn't clutch.

But to hate on him for not doing well on the worst team in the league is nuts.

11/25/2019 9:26:49 PM

EXTRY, EXTRY

Rookie takes starting gig for winless team, Also doesn't win any games!


shit man how did he not take advantage of the elite talents of John Ross and Auden Tate, the table is fucking set for him.


EDIT:
seriously justin, this bullshit you perpetrate is a Dean Koontz gypsy's curse ensuring we never get a qb worthy of favorable mention EVER again. and fuck me if i dont agree with the gypsy sometimes.


[Edited on November 25, 2019 at 9:46 PM. Reason : Ross has been on IR for a while now. We regret the error. ]

11/25/2019 9:27:44 PM

Just ignore Tyler Boyd. I mean Finley does, so you might as well too. Also he's had a healthy Tyler Eifert. But even the worst receiving corp (which isn't the Bengals) doesn't account for completion percentages below 50%, 5 YPA and 5 turnovers. The guy has no pocket awareness and can't read NFL coverages.

I'm just going to assume you haven't watched him play this year, since you thought John Ross was playing, so your opinion is worthless. Blindly supporting a guy who clearly isn't an NFL QB is a great look for you.

And yes, me posting my unpopular opinion about Finley on an archaic (but beloved) internet message board that no one under the age of 30 knows exists is the reason why our current QBs suck and why they will continue to suck for all eternity.

Also, I bet you liked Marcus Stone.

[Edited on November 25, 2019 at 10:18 PM. Reason : Chris Weinke had a better rookie year than Finley]

11/25/2019 10:16:52 PM

you also said at least 2 of the QBs on our current team are better than him, which is laughable

11/25/2019 10:34:36 PM

Obviously it's gonna be leary and that guy who's redshirting

11/25/2019 10:56:47 PM

Hell yes I liked Marcus Stone. A team player who changed positions and stayed on the team while he watched Daniel Evans take his spot— if that isn’t worthy of admiration I don’t know what else to say.

What you should have said, was I bet you liked Harrison Beck.

Points for being a soggy dick and taking time to refute my premise where a mystic antagonist from a B squad horror writer cursed us because you are lacking in both perspective and loyalty. I mean, can’t you have some goddamn fun and we all laugh about how shitty mass market horror of the 80s and 90s was?

Also you know what? While Akili Smith as a player comp to Finley could not be any more inaccurate, I bet Akili could have been a good NFL qb if he didn’t land in a shitty situation. Maybe if he had another year starting in college might have helped too. He was a talented player, like all these guys that come out, but sometimes the fit isn’t right and you end up looking like a dipshit. Truly, that comparison describes your brand of bummer takes to perfection.

11/26/2019 1:13:32 AM

Fuck.Harrison.Beck

Looking very good at 19 YPC!

11/22/2020 4:10:06 PM

Bengals back in #1 pick contention!


Also, i never saw this

Quote :

"A team player who changed positions and stayed on the team while he watched Daniel Evans take his spot— if that isn’t worthy of admiration I don’t know what else to say."

but there's so much wrong with it. First, Daniel Evans was a better QB than Stone, despite the fact that physically he had no business playing division 1 football. Second, here is a direct quote from Marcus Stone: "I wish I would have had my shot at quarterback [at NCSU], back when I got changed out [to tight end]. I feel that would have been my best shot to play pro football." The guy was delusional and still thought he could be an NFL QB. Apparently being on the roster as a QB for 4 years and playing for 3 with no established starter in front of you is not getting a shot at QB. If he had switched to TE earlier, such as say before his RS-soph year when it was clear to everyone else he was a bad QB, he'd probably have made some NFL money.

Head scratcher. Why wouldn’t you want a higher pick in the upcoming draft?

11/25/2020 10:28:31 PM

Shockingly, after benching last week's leading rusher, the Bengals failed to get their run game going today, smh

11/29/2020 6:36:43 PM

Don't think it's been mentioned here but Ryan's back to starting. Hasn't set things on fire but has been serviceable.

Playcallers clearly don't trust him though -- seems to be a mostly run first scheme. He has fit a few nice throws in but has been kinda all over the place.

12/21/2020 10:23:26 PM

lmao read option td

Thought he was getting traded to the Texans?

3/19/2021 7:58:34 PM

I guess he got traded (for a seventh round pick swap) after it broke that they were releasing him.
