December 17, 20178 yr Author The line has been bad. However people always talk about Dalton leading the team to the playoffs as reasons why he is good. Just like maybe his bad play is due to the line. Dalton didn't do much in the 2011, 2012, and 2014 seasons to help make playoffs. They made it because of top 10 defenses, and 2014 a top 5 running game. So if people want to give credit to him for those years. Then have to give him blame for this year. It works both ways. Dalton has basically had 2 good years in a 7 year career. No debate with you on any of that, or any other stats you want to throw out there on Dalton. Dalton is an average to perhaps hair above average NFL QB. No NFL QB gets this Bengals team into the playoffs with this offensive line.
December 17, 20178 yr Author TD Bengals. No shutout for the Vikings and owners of their defense in fantasy.
December 17, 20178 yr Crazy that this was Bernard’s first touchdown of the season and the fifth rushing touchdown by the team all season. This speaks the volume of the issues of the offensive line.

On the other hand his rookie year was the only time he hasn't exceeded the league average QBR. He's slightly better than average, that's all he'll ever be.

No NFL QB gets this Bengals team into the playoffs with this offensive line. The Seattle Seahawks offensive line is horrible and because they have Russell Wilson they are on the verge of the playoffs still. So I would disagree there quite a few nfl qbs who would have had This team at least in contention to make the playoffs still even with this bad line.
