I posted a way longer version of this in the D'Ante Smith thread....
Why are Bengals fans holding Jackson and Smith to a higher standard than the NFL vets who are in the team? XSF, Spain, Price, & Jordan have to be held to a higher standard AT THIS STAGE and that standard should be to at minimum give Jackson, Smith, & Hill time to practice and develop.
Whitworth, a 2nd round pick, only started 12 games as a rookie. To expect the 3 rookies above, who are all learning new positions, to be instantly better than vets is unfair to the rookies while being WAY too kind to the veteran players who seemingly cannot do the job.
