A ton of players get offseason surgeries, but if you're not missing games, and you're not playing like hot trash because of them, you're still very very durable.

His last 3 years with the Bengals he was a 2nd Team All-Pro, 1st Team All-Pro, and Pro Bowler and didn't miss a single game.

People VASTLY overuse, and often misuse the word "hindsight".

And everyone of my point still stands while you quote statistics.  Everything i said, about his longevity vs normal, his contract and age vs. normal and how our FO handled it is still 100% true.  There were no signs that Whit could would should defy the odds and play at a probowl level to nearly 40.  

And the Rams completely over paid based upon the market for his age and ability.  It worked out for them.  They and Whit beat the odds, but that does not mean our FO did wrong or behaved in a poor manner. 

And how easily we forget, or is it omission to help your argument, that Whit rarely played in pre-season, always getting veteran time off during the year because he was always nursing a knee or back or something.  Let's not pretend he was friggin superman.  The FO and the league had evidence for obvious concern to give him a 3 year contract at that price.
