Yes but at the same point wouldnt anyone be bad playing thru a torn labrum and a strained hamstring.

Well if his whole career he’s had that then I give him a pass

doesnt explain his high amount of false starts and holding calls

He had that last year.  Id imagine the false starts were trying to get a jump on blocking.   Holding maybe because he couldn't use proper blocking technique with his torn labrum

 

Fwiw im not sure what the deal is with the bengals and having linemen who have strength issues(ogbuehi, redmond, and Fisher and there might be others)

I don’t think it’s strength issues. I think it’s technique and passion issues

His college scouting report had strength as a need to improve. 

It should have had "everything" as a need to improve. I heard he declared early from UCLA and did some research on him that year. The film was not even "meh." It was bad. I have no idea how he got picked up.

I think they should have taken Haskins, but you could certainly do a lot worse at QB. Hating on Andy Dalton has become in-vogue, but he's better than most starting QB's in the NFL with marginal talent around him. And he's never had a good OL. Even when they had good players (Whitworth, Zeitler, Boling), there were glaring holes around those guys that made their unit ineffective. The Bengals could win a Super Bowl with Dalton if they had excellent talent around him. And before this off-season, they really didn't have a lot of options to do better at the position. I don't blame them for sticking it out with Dalton.
