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.

Oh yes, the mothership had dozens and dozens of people who were of this school of thought; PFF was in it's infancy in 2009 and, back when they had the awesome stats and a grading scheme that wasn't complete BS, I made post after post, saying that he was our best option and I still heard nothing in response, but, "he can't deal with speed rushers, so he should be moved to guard." "He's a good puller (which wasn't true) so he should be made a guard."

That's how I got my post count up during those times lol.
