There were people here who argued for years that Justin Smith was garbage and that Whitworth should haved moved to OG because he was not good enough to play LT.
This is the same with all fan bases, but the Bengal group feels more empoowered because of the teams lack of success in the postseason. They feel that "O-7" is the beginning and ending of any argument about how good any Bengal player or coach is.
As usual, i disagree. I don't remember anyone thinking Whitworth was no good or should move to LG once he established himself. In my opinion Bengal fans especially on this board have the opposite problem. They think players are good when in reality they are mediocre at best. Fans want to believe they're players are better than others, it's the nature of the beast. It's the reason why Andy Dalton is so hotly debated around here when the rest of the country understands what Dalton is pretty accurately.
