We will never know if Klingler or A. Smith would have been decent QBs (long term) because they played behind some horrible OLs and those teams had some pretty horrible defenses to boot. Hell, Tom Brady would look like an average QB playing behind the Bengals OL.

The Bengals have a serious OL problem and serious DL and LB problems.  If we address those areas over the next several drafts, I think we will see that Dalton was not the problem in the first place.

Our dline is perfectly fine, though we can all agree on the other two needing work...

Klingler I think would've been a decent NFLer; maybe up to Andy's level, maybe at a Jon Kitna level (when Kitna was at his best), but Akili I think was doomed from the getgo.

Technically, he was an even bigger whiff than Leaf and he had (a few lol) better teams around him.
