I didn't read all 23 pages, but maybe upon watching film, the coaches spotted a fatal flaw in Hart's technique, that when corrected will result in instant All-Pro. Believing could help buy you six months of sanity.

Contract is team friendly and doesn't indicate he is definitely the starter. but we do have him locked in for at least this season.

Turner: Hey, Zac, I've been watching Bobby's tape and I noticed he plays like a fat, slow asshole.
Zac: Okay, make it so he stops doing that and we can pay him a lot of money.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

It's that easy.

From that list I believe only Zeitler Jones and Zeitler did we lose after rookie contract, so you actually helped my point.. we keep 4 of those players through two contracts which to be honest is around the average of a professional career

I mean they swept us last year. Let's be real and not pretend we are still so superior to them.

Sanu was lost after a rookie contract too. As was Justin Smith. Jonathan Joseph. Spikes.
I don't think you can say the Bengals are any better or worse at retaining their own.

Well, if you don't feel, all the way from the bottom of your heart up, that the Bengals have always, and always will be the best team in Ohio? I don't know what to say about you, except that the Browns fan club is currently taking applications.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

To add injury to insult, we bring in the omnipotent, HUE JACKSON within a couple of weeks of getting canned!
I wonder what he is up to lately?

My wife was watching the game last night with me and was like "Why is that player, and only that player's ass orange??"
I explained to her that that was Bobby Hart. He had been put on his ass so much and got his butt whupped so bad that his butt was orange.
Go back and watch the film, his ass is literally orange tint under his white pants....

The staff had all offseason to turn Bobby Hart into a quality player, which is what they sold the fanbase would happen. It's now 4 games in and Hart isn't any better than he was last season. In fact, he's worse.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Which is what a lot of us suspected. It was kind of obvious actually.
Why they didn't plan to start the year with Glenn and Jonah as the Tackles...I don't know.

They never sold the fanbase on this, they simply told the fanbase. I would be surprised if 5% of the fanbase actually fell for this nonsense. This re-signing was all part of the off season debacle leading up to this horrid start to the season. It was quite obvious this team was going nowhere fast this season.

But, but, but, but... according to some people around here, us fans don’t know better than the front office/coaches

Because they already signed Hart to play RT and didn't know they were going to land Jonah Williams.
There's no way this organization was going to allow someone making $5-6 mill a year be a backup.

I wonder if any other NFL team would have paid Hart a 3 year $21 million contract?
Seems we were bidding against ourselves.

They panicked and overpaid to avoid forcing a draft pick or an older veteran to start. They didn't want to pay $10+ mill a year for a RT and there weren't really any other good options available that were under 30 years old.
The reality is there are guys (like Andre Smith) who are performing just as well as Hart but making less than half of what Hart is making and not on rookie contracts.
Same situation with Preston Brown.
