Good idea. Let's spend the next couple/several years building an offensive line that can protect better, because it sure as hell is easier said than done. Then in his 12th year, we can see how Dalton does behind a decent line.
Not trying to be a smart ass but we have plenty of examples of how he plays with a good line. From 2011 through 2016 the Bengals pass blocking efficiency was ranked, 3rd, 3rd, tied for 2nd, 2nd, 5th and 15th. His best season wasn't even the line's best rating. He's had plenty of really good pass blocking lines and he's been below average to average with 1 season of elite level play during that 6 year stretch.
In 8+ seasons he's had a quarterback rating above 90, two times. T.W.O.
