I doubt the conversation was all positive, or that PA just threw that comparison out for shits and giggles. PA was probably using Braham to defend Bodine again. He sounds pretty defensive about the guy. Probably some pressure there, seeing how the Bengals made a rare trade up to get him, and he's not exactly impressing.

There's a reason why BJGE had 0 fumbles in 536 touches for the Patriots and 5 fumbles in 524 touches for the Bengals.

They know their coach has no problem punishing/benching them instead of just giving some frowny face claps when they F up. That attitude trickles down through the organization.

In the last 10 years, Paul Alexander's OL by YPC ranking...

There is no accountability in the Bengals entire organization because the GM will never fire himself. So it starts from the top, and that GM will never fire the HC or some of the "lifer" assistants. That's what enables a guy like PA to pick out favorites and ride them even when that player is clearly not the answer.

0.5 seconds is a lot of time on a football field. The average play lasts around 5.0 seconds, so Dalton is basically spending 10% less time to throw the ball.

Imagine the difference between a WR who runs a 4.5 and one who runs a 5.0. That's considered a HUGE difference. 

It's asinine to think these world-class athletes can't get very far in 0.5 seconds.
