Bodine was a below average center last year.  But since he was justr a rookie I am willing to give him another chance.

Gilberry was not very good last year,  The Bengals addressed this by signing Michael johnson.

Lamur struggled last year.  Since it was his first year playing at a new position I am willing to give him a chance to improve.

Geno Atkins was FAR from his usual self last year.  bur since he is an All pro Talent I am willing to give him another chance.

Maualuga is not as bad as some claim, but he is very limited an should only be on the field on first downs or second/third and short yardage.  He struggles in coverage.

Vinney Ray is a decent back up, but not good enough to be a starter.

Sanu is limited to playing in the slot.  He is not good enough to be an outside receiver.

Dalton is not an elite talent, but good QBs are so rare he is not bad enough to be replaced.  I have no problem with drafting guys like McCarron.  If McCarron outplays Dalton I have no problem with him becoming the starter.

Marvin is like Dalton.  He is not elite but he is to good to replace unless we have an elite replacement lined up.

I can agree with this in general. Bodine was a rookie starting at center. He should do better with a year under his belt.

Sanu will do better with Marvin Jones in the line up. Hes better than Tate as the #3, if that's what Tate was last year.

Maualuga really made the difference in the run defense last year. When he missed a couple of games, the defense just wasn't the same.

Gilberry will do better in a rotation as he did before. He's just the right guy to come off the bench.

We all pretty much expected Atkins to not be fully back last year. He's a big guy and rehab for them isn't quite the same.

It's difficult to replace an alright QB when better QBs are hard to come by. Rivers was really the only option this last off season to upgrade the position with someone who could step right in there and lead the team. But San Diego basically asked for the farm. And now they'll have him for 1 year and he'll be signing elsewhere.
