Would like to see at least a bit of a rebound to end the season. Honestly might be better for both parties to part ways. Bengals could pair up Bell with Quandre Diggs, Tyrann Mathieu, or someone else with a fresh start.

Just a couple of examples, but the point is just because a player is not starting (Eli Apple), does not mean he is not capable of not only starting, but playing well.

James Harrison did all the steroids and HGH known to man for 5 years before he did anything. I have to believe that the Bengals staff cares about their former players not all dying young a little bit more than the Steelers did/do, so don't expect any James Harrison stories from here.

Eli Apple has really turned it around the last handful of games much to the benefit of the Bengals defense, but lets not ignore that it was preceded by 9 games of being absolutely terrible for the Bengals, and 5 years of being mediocre-to-bad for the Giants/Saints/Panthers. Apple started 15 games as recently as 2019. He allowed a 100.9 QB Rating. He started 48 games before joining the Bengals. It wasn't a lack of opportunity.
