You know what? You're right. I'm with you there. I should not have characterized his entire stint w the Bengals in that way, because that isn't fair.
I thought he was a very very good player at RT on his first contract, but then the revolving door of Andre Smith started & then it has not been the same at RT after that. That was my intention of that part of my post. The Bengals should have been able to find a long term replacement at RT if they weren't going to pay him. They couldn't, so they ended up with a broken version of Smith.... which was STILL better than anything they've drafted at either OT spot since!
