Bobby Hart had a very good season in 2019.

There were 64 players that started at least 8 games as an OT last year and played at least 500 snaps.  If you look at snaps per (sacks allowed + holding penalties) Hart ranked 13th among those 64.  He also ranked 25th in sacks per snap.

Since stats on O-linemen are kind of obscure I think a lot of people hate Hart based on 2018.  I am starting to see why the Bengals had faith in him.

Hart, who probably had his best year last season was still sub-average, which is a long ways from "very good". Still not worth the salary he's getting and the team would be better off upgrading the spot.

The scary part is that the team, for the 2nd year in a row doesn't really see the need for an upgrade.
