If Og or Fisher turned the corner like they should have, it doesn't look that bad. It's the fact they missed horribly with the 2 guys they drafted to replace him that makes it terrible. This is the main disadvantage of coaches scouting players. Because the coaches scouted those players, they are not going to be willing to fall on their sword and admit they are busts. They are going to defend them to the last.
The Bengals should have just franchise tagged Whitworth or Zeitler.
At the point they let Whitworth go, they knew that Ced and Fisher didn't look good.
But agreed, had either 1 ended up even decent the move looks better. The move exploded like a watermelon after Gallagher hit it with a mallet.
