2. After a guy has spent two years in an NFL weight program and learning the schemes it is hard to find a rookie that can just step in and replace him.  3. But all you have to do is look at Devin Still, Orson Charles, Dontay Moch, Chase Coffman, and many others to see what the Bengals do with draft picks that can't cut it.  It is absurd to claim that we keep them around for "several years".

1. We agree on 2 years. If a player can barely sniff the field after 2 years, 90% of the time that player is never going to amount to anything in the NFL.

2. It's not hard to replace a player who isn't doing anything. Margus Hunt played 57 snaps last year. Will Clarke played 100. You don't think a rookie is capable of handling that? Aside from the many rookies who started or contributed heavily during Marv's tenure, we've had countless rookies who played 100 snaps or more.

3. Here's some players they've kept too long during Marv's tenure:

Chris Perry- 5 years
Caleb Miller- 4 years
Eric Ghiaciuc- 4 years
Jerome Simpson- 4 years
Caldwell- 4 years
Jason Shirley- 3 years
Brandon Ghee- 4 years
Margus Hunt- 3+ years

And it's a safe bet that Clarke will make the 53 this year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
