Look, trading for Rosen is a stupid, stupid idea. Sorry to burst your little bubble.
They were disappointing in terms of YPC but they still had 38 rushing touchdowns. 2nd most in the league from 2014-15. They got it done in the red zone and again, they were top 3 in pass-blocking efficiency. Bodine was bad but that's one player. The rest of the offensive line did more than their part. You were able to hide Bodine because the o-line was good. Smith had his struggles but was nowhere near as bad as Ogbuehi was. Yes, Dalton got the ball quickly, but that had to do more with the fact he has one of the fastest releases in the league. You don't want Dalton holding the ball longer than he has to. Let's not lie here. Bengals had a great offensive line in that period and there are many articles out there that said it if the eye test failed you.
I won't be hurt if they don't trade for Rosen. This isn't about hating Dalton. But I'm willing to bet that Rosen will flourish in a different situation and the Bengals will once again look stupid if he only gets away for a 3rd while Dalton leads another disappointing season with the new coaching staff and there will be no Marvin or Bill Lazor to blame.
