Green, Boyd, Atkins, Dunlap, Mixon, WJ3, Bates ....... plus a lot of solid players. There's no way this team goes 3-13 without really bad QB play.
That being said, I can't see a healthy Dalton winning less than 6 games.
You are so off base. Andy Dalton has done good things behind an inferior o-line. I’m not a Dalton apologist or hater, I think he is a solid starter but could be great behind a better o-line. He does have share of mistakes.
That said if we go 3-13 it will be because of defense, and more specifically because of the linebacking core. If you watched this team last year at all you would understand the reasoning behind that. In case you missed it, the D was dead last in ‘18.
