Answering this time honestly:
(I'm taking this as what it says. Bold predictions, not fantasy. These are things I think have a decent chance of happening)
1.) Gio Bernard we'll be regarded as the more valuable back at the end of the season.
I think this could happen. Don't get me wrong, I like Hill. He looked very good last year. but I think too many people are sleeping on Bernard. He is a special player. I'm not sure there's anyone else like him in the entire league, with the exception of maybe Sproles. If he still gets 5-10 carries a game and is used in the receiving game, I think we could a lot of fans remember how special he is.
2.) Wallace Gillberry will lead the team in sacks.
3.) Darquez Dernard will be ahead of Dre Kirkpatrick in the depth chart come the end of year.
4.) Mohamed Sanu will finish with more yards than a healthy Marvin Jones.
I don't know that I would predict as having a great chance but I do think there is a decent one. I think they're pretty equal in overall value. I think Jones is a tad overrated, while I think Sanu is a tad underrated.
5.) This will be Andy Dalton's last full season starting in Cincinnati.
I think he needs a 90+ rating and/or postseasn success to cement his job for next season. I don't like the chances of either. I think he will play similarly to past seasons, which will be ok, but far from great. I don't think they cut him after this season, despite the contract. But I do think they, for the first time, will want some legitimate options and legitimate discussion, for the future. And I could see them entertaining some of them in 2016 as the season goes on.
Remember, these are bold predictions. They're simply things I think could happen and could serve as decent talking points. Don't take them too seriously please.
