He was brought into the Bengals organization and worked in many different positions as a means of evaluation and an attempt to put the 5 best linemen on the field. So while trying to learn a new position like guard he was also being moved from left to right. There should be some curve expected in this situation.

I think maybe we should give the young man a bit more of a chance before we doom him forever or categorize him as having regressed. How do you actually regress in a position you hadn't played?

by giving the starting job and getting benched mid season once you got the job.. he was drafted in 2nd round, they totally had expectations for him to compete for starting job.   I don;t see anything in my post that said he is doomed I stated he did not seem to improve through the year and it seems from the roster depth he is probably going to be a starting guard and does need to to improve as we head into the season..
