IMO, I don't see how people don't see the writing on the wall. We drafted 2 tackles with our first 2 picks. Whitworth is getting very old and will be an expensive option if we were to resign him. If we resign anyone, IMO it should be Smith as he is the younger option with way more tread left on the tires. People let their love for a player get in the way of reality. Whits little offseason rant whether it was him or his wife is a very telling sign, along with the Bengals first 2 picks and the fact that Whit has given up his leadership role. The writing is on the wall. Whit is on his way out, unless he decides to take a very large pay cut next season. If the Patriots did this, they would be called genius for letting players go before they decline. With the Bengals we have a bunch of fans who clearly always know more about football than the people making decisions in the FO.

2. Never did I say that I can't fathom that someone agrees with you.  There are lots of pinheads in the world. 

3. Infatuation with Pong?  Do you always go off the deep end with crap like that?  I made one comment about his tenure and you think I am ready to take a bullet for the guy.  If anyone starts throwing hissy fits whenever someone offers a differing opinion it is YOU.  Pong is hilarious at times and I honestly think I remember him from a Bengals board on AOL NEARLY 20 YEARS AGO.  If he is a troll, he's a damn dedicated one.  And FWIW, I don't think he is a troll.  There are lots of guys that have seemingly given up on the Bengals and the years of frustration have got them venting those frustrations on such forums. 

4. Lastly, as far as anyone offering different opinions from mine, I am an eternal optimist.  I believe in Andy Dalton.  I think that sets me up as a minority.  There are bound to be LOTS of opinions different than mine.  And that is part of the fun.  I don't get this poster vs. poster crap you seem to enjoy.  But I'm always game for a battle of wits....especially when it is going to be an easy victory.

Looking at public information by taking 2 seconds to click 1 button isn't "insecure" or "weird". You're being awfully strange here, old man. Maybe you should try to use a bit better logic if you want to "win" a battle of wits like you seem obsessed in doing (mentioned in point 4 by YOU).

2. Oh, good one. You've made multiple comments in the past about how myself and other posters "must be all the same person", therefore it really does seem like you can't believe people agree with me. Just admit that you're not very bright, we all see it, trust me.

3. Yes, infatuation with Pong. You're pretty much the ONLY person that has ever defended him and can't understand why anyone would call him a troll. With your previous logic, should I assume that you're one of his many alts? I probably will from now on, you're both wrong about literally everything, so maybe you ARE the same guy

4. So you admit to being in the minority (which means you're probably wrong more often than not if no one agrees with you), that's a step up to admit that. It takes about 2 seconds to look and see who is a much more respected and knowledgeable poster on these boards between the two of us. Mostly everybody here knows that I don't play well with others and I could probably use a slight attitude adjustment, but they still know that I consistently use sound logic and present fair arguments and discussion points. Face it, a LOT of people tend to agree with me on things, and you can't say the same for yourself. Hey, maybe I'm wrong and you're some genius in disguise that knows it all, but nah, you're just another dweeb that wants to pick a fight with somebody clearly more intelligent and witty. Have fun thinking you "won" when I no longer respond to you. You're not worth my time anymore, Pong-alt.

Come on. Stop the stupidity.

No, his wife was pissed because her husband was just given his one year notice.

I don't see how you can't fathom the fact that the organization has decided to go a younger direction on the offensive line and is cutting players earlier before they are a liability.

Every video, article and posting I have read about this situation is about how Whit's wife vented on twitter, and Whit apologized for her. That doesn't sound anything like joking with teammates. If it was a joke why was Whit apologizing?

I think you are the one that is hearing the BS, especially when every sign points to letting him go.
