Seriously. Hear me out on this one. Indulge me for just a moment and follow me down the rabbit hole to see why I predict that the Bengals keep with the status quo and resign Russell Bodine. THINK ABOUT IT. He's the Andy Dalton of the offensive line. I mean, like, the EXACT same guy. Which means the Bengals probably love him....

- Best quality is that he's "reliable" (shows up for work every day).
- Doesn't make anyone around him actually any better nor makes up for their deficiencies.
-  Only plays well when the guys around him play well.
- Has roughly 2 great games a season.
- About the same(ish) as when they drafted him. Give or take.
- Looks lost at times.
- Prone to the occasional horrific, soul crushing game that heavily contributes to a loss.
- Does his best work pre-snap before the ball is in play.
- Has embarrassing prime time "lowlight" involving JJ Watt. For those who have white washed that out of existence, I offer you a refresher (click the link when it pops up):



I was going to ninja this, but now, after typing it all out and reviewing the data, I think that anyone who's a huge Dalton guy would be a huge fan of resigning Bodine. They're basically the same quality player, just different positions.

- Oh, wait! I almost forgot... "Good guy off the field." You know, where it really counts.

Seriously, does anyone else see similarities? Other than a few meaningless probowls after everyone good dropped out and 1 strong half a season, aren't these two guys strangely similar?
