TE Charles Clay has 117 reception over the last two years which is more than any Bengal TE. Brian Hartine had back-to-back with at least 75 receptions and 1000 receiving yards. Tannehill had a deep, experienced receiving corps last year.
So other than Green all of his other weapons were better than Dalton's by far.
As for the rest of Dalton's career behind Green at #1 he had Jerome Simpson, Andre Caldwell, Andrew Hawkins, Sanu, and Jones. None of those guys have produced like Hartline. And to claim they are all "superior weapons" is a farce. And until Bernard arrived Dalton didn't even have RB who was a receiving threat.
And finally, the Bengals running game was not that much better than the Dolphins last year. In fact the dolphins averaged 4.7 yards per carry which was good for second in the league.
Green is better than Wallace. Wallace has not had a 1000 yard season since 4 years ago. Gibson didn't do much in Miami with 326 and 295 yards. Gio had more receiving yards for us. While there have been some weapons in Miami, the fact that they've spent two 1st round picks in a row on the WR spot shows that it's an area they want to upgrade significantly. Eifert and Gresham combined for more than Clay.
