Andy Dalton will being the 2015 season as the starter for the Bengals and the rest of the depth chart is not expected to change much behind him.<\/p>\n
While back-up Jason Campbell will need to be re-signed the teams official website and offensive coordinator Hue Jackson seem to believe that the team will enter the season in much the same way they finished the last one at quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s our guy and we\u2019re not going to shy away from that,\u201d Jackson\u00a0said\u00a0of Dalton. Quarterbacks coach \u00a0Ken Zampese added, \u201cHe was better with the intangibles this year and the ball was better coming out of his hand. You could see that right away when he came back from the last offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n
A.J. McCarron spent much of last season rehabbing and was inactive to close out the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought Jason did a sensational job in the role we asked him to play,\u201d Jackson \u201cAJ was finally getting healthy and looking like himself.\u00a0 I think all three of them need to have a great offseason and we\u2019ll see where it goes. I know Jason. I know what he brings to the table. You always like to have guys back that you\u2019ve been around and know what you\u2019re trying to accomplish. We haven\u2019t had those discussions yet and we\u2019ll get into them as we go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Given a lack of depth at quarterback in the draft and that Dalton is clearly the starter there is no reason to waste a draft pick on a new signal caller\u00a0in the draft. The team will once again live and die by the running game and the game manager duties of Dalton.<\/p>\n
