Cincinnati Bengals: What A.J. Green’s absence will tell us

It’s no secret that the Bengals are using this season to evaluate Andy Dalton. With just two years left on his contract, the Bengals can cut ties with Dalton with no cap ramifications at season’s end.

With Green out, Bengals management will get to evaluate Dalton under a modern era offensive minded head coach. The former TCU Horned Frog will have to step up without his favorite weapon. Is he truly just an average quarterback or can he elevate the young receivers around him and get the team off to a hot start in the Zac Taylor era?
