As far as the Whitworth thing is concerned, I suspect many who bash the Bengals for not re-signing their veteran OT are the same fans who bashed the Bengals for re-signing Willie Anderson all those years ago.I call it slow learner syndrome. If someone says the Bengals have been doing this for 28 years and hasn't yet been educated on the futility of getting bent out of shape over what the Bengals do, that is the very definition of a slow learner.
It was not their idea to waste a 1st and 2nd round pick. They picked those guys because they figured at least one of them would work out. Many draft gurus had Fisher pegged to go higher than we took him, IIRC. In the end neither worked out and they missed on both, but to suggest that whiffing on these guys was part of some grand plan is pretty ridiculous.
Why do the people who talk about how we've been down this road time and time again and that we know how it will end keep showing up around here? If you have that little faith in them, just move on with your life. Some of you guys act like you're being forced to follow this team at gunpoint lol.
Our past success is directly related to superior coaching and/or being able to assemble one group of players able to make a run. It hasn't changed.
