The biggest problem here is that he is going to take our QB with him if he doesn't improve. He is the weakest line in pass protection on the offensive line by far. In run protection, in the preseason, I actually thought I saw improvement. If they aren't going to keep a RB in to protect Dalton, there has to be an additional lineman (Fisher, or a TE) kept on the line to prevent two-gap responsibilities. He is simply a liability in the passing game and it is too bad they didn't draft someone and begin to develop them. Now, they either have to go FA or hope a rookie would be an upgrade next year, which is no small task given the Bengal's division.
Nowhere did I say that was my actual line of thinking dude, I even said 'I'm just trying to be optimistic here' suggesting I'm throwing things out there
I personally think he's had long enough to prove himself, and I've little doubt the Bengals will cut him when they have given up on him/there is an obvious and realistic better option. Unless we trade or draft, Bodine will remain the starter.
