Jeremy Hill is the real deal and will bounce back 

Except I personally didn't see him limping out there on the field. I saw him slow and unaggressive, but not limping. You can Google it up and most likely find zero articles about him visibly limping on the field in 2015. Why? Because if a player is visibly hurt like you're claiming, and the team doesn't report it on the injury report, the NFL goes after them with fines and penalties. Case and point, the roughly billion words on the internet written about Andrew Luck's ribs.

The Bengals never once said Dalton would be back, they only hoped he'd be back in time for the divisional game. How is that jacking around with the injury report? Dude got injured, they listed the injury and said they didn't have an exact timeline for his return. That's the exact opposite of jacking around with the injury report.

Never got to learn if he could play in the Divisional round because they didn't make it so he didn't get the chance to cut off the cast early and try.

Now compare that to your theory that Hill was hurt for 12 months and not once had it listed on the injury report. The simple fact that we all know that Dalton had a broken thumb and many articles were written about it makes it completely different than a theoretical secret phantom year-long injury conspiracy.
