Zac Taylor a quarterback who reminds him of the one he just left.Cincinnati traded up to get Ryan Finley from N.C. State as Andy Dalton’s backup — for now http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-jordan-jersey , anyway. Dalton has two years left on his deal, and Finley will get time to learn Taylor’s system as a reserve and see what develops.“I do want to make something very clear before we start: Andy Dalton is our starting quarterback,” offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said. “That has not changed. That will not change. We think very highly of Andy and what he’s going to do in our offense.“We do think competition is good. It’ll be good for our position. It’ll be good for the backup job for sure.”Dalton missed the last five games last season with a thumb injury that has healed. Backup Jeff Driskel started the last five, completed 59 percent of his passes, averaged 153 yards and had a 79.6 passer rating working with an injury-depleted unit.Finley has been compared to Jared Goff , whom Taylor helped develop as the Rams quarterbacks coach before coming to Cincinnati as head coach after their Super Bowl loss to New England. Cincinnati, Detroit and Washington brought him in for visits, so he knew the Bengals had a keen interest.Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt said Finley was the only quarterback the Bengals brought to town for a visit with a thought of drafting him. They also met with a quarterback from a small college whom they considered signing as a free agent.Finley went to a steakhouse with Cincinnati’s coaching staff after his arrival in town and spent a half-hour the next day with Taylor Greedy Williams Jersey , hitting it off. Finley impressed the Bengals with his ability to remember and analyze blocking schemes. He also knew he was the top quarterback on their draft list.“I was really excited to have that visit, and it was a really good visit,” Finley said.The Bengals hadn’t taken a quarterback so high in the draft since they got Dalton in the second round in 2011. They took AJ McCarron in the fifth round in 2014 as Dalton’s backup.“Ryan is a kid that makes really, really good decisions,” Callahan said. “He’s accurate and throws on time. He displayed all three of those at a high level at N.C. State.“We had him targeted all along as a quarterback we thought would fit for us at the right place. We felt he was there for the taking and instead of waiting to see if he fell, we were going to take him.”The Bengals spent four of their first six picks in the draft on offense, adding a left tackle , a tight end http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-sione-takitaki-jersey , a lineman and Finley. They also traded up for another fourth-round pick Saturday and took Ohio State center Michael Jordan, who will compete for a guard position. The offense finished 26th last season, a year after being last in the league in yards gained. National Football League history would be different as we know it if some deals that were in the works had actually gone through involving some of the biggest names in the league.Regardless of how great some players were, their respective teams always considered wheeling and dealing when needing to make a change. In some cases, major trades were just about completed before one side got cold feet and pulled out.In other cases, teams were thought to be close or even a lock to sign a player in free agency, however things didn't work out for whatever reason, changing the course of league history.For some teams Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , it's the moves they make that put them over the top. For others, the deals they don't make can cripple the franchise for years to come. Hindsight is always 20/20, but some of the teams on this list just made horrible decisions when given a chance to land an all-time great player.It's astounding to see the level of quarterbacks that were once up for grabs. In this day and age, it's unthinkable for a team to trade a top quarterback. Back in the day, it almost happened more than most people realize.Just imagine if Dan Marino had been traded to the Oakland Raiders or John Elway to the Washington Redskins. Both of those deals almost happened and who knows what it would have meant for each player's career.Let's take a look at some of the biggest deals - whether in free agency or through trades - that almost happened but never did.
