He has been hampered with a bad O-line most of his career and has still put up the best numbers and the most Playoff appearances by a Bengals QB if i am not mistaken. You have to put players in a position to succeed. QB's need a decent O-line and Dalton has only survived by having a quick release and a great WR in AJ Green.

Now he will have Billy Price and Jonah Williams protecting him. Look out once these guys get the NFL down.

Mixon also comes into this conversation taking the heat off Dalton with a great running game.

Teams better account for Mixon otherwise Green or Boyd will hurt them. This is not even mentioning if Eifert, Ross, Sample, Uzomah, play to their potential. Really like Trayveon and Rodney too, both are very talented RB's to go along with Gio.

At this stage of his career Dalton is not going to reinvent himself. He is what he is. He is an average QB that can perform when things go his way and he is protected in a system. He is never going to be a QB that creates plays and wins a game on his own. He is not the QB you can count on to simply drag a team to victory and carry them on his back like Rodgers, Luck, Brady and so on.

If you are going to win with Dalton you need an excellent team around him and you have to do it through the draft since we won’t sign free agents.

And how does this draft surround him with talent? We might not have drafted a year one starter. We have a backup QB and TE with our first 4 picks. We did not draft an impact player again. We got some guys that will probably be okay and hang around the league for a while getting overpaid by the Bengals.
