Inquisitr: Bengals Training Camp: Andy Dalton in a good place

By Emile Pierce

When it comes to firepower, the Cincinnati Bengals have been on the cutting edge. Since the Dalton-Green era started in 2011, the Bengals are usually respected, when it comes offense. But, with that notoriety comes the possibility of theft. It seems that other franchises are hungry (desperate) for the same achievements. The easiest route is to pluck away the coach.Â Andy DaltonÂ and Co. find themselves in the same predicament again.

When Dalton arrived, he was under the watchful eyes of Jay Gruden. The Bengals had just completed a 4-12 campaign, the previous year.Â Carson PalmerÂ had jumped ship and hope was placed in the rookie from TCU. Things didnâ€™t go great for the Ginger, but he held up. The Bengals went 9-7 and made the playoffs.

PerÂ ESPNÂ stats, Dalton, and the BengalsÂ were decent that year. They finished in the top 20, in both yards gained and points scored. For a rookie signal-caller, that wasnâ€™t a bad start. Yet, the expectations run high with Bengals fans. The nine wins and a playoff loss werenâ€™t embraced by all. The TCU kid would have to do better.
