Big Whit?

I agree with both of these responses.  I'll just say that sure, it's fun to romanticize about Big Whit returning to his original team and leading them to Super Bowl glory, I believe that it is a pipe dream for several reasons.

1.  The contract with the Rams

2.  I haven't read or heard anything from Whitworth actually saying he wants to do it. (just seems like yet another example of a writer attempting to make news where there is none)

3.  Old/out of shape. (he's not going to just practice a couple of weeks and be in peak professional condition)

4. Not even his position (the guy spent his entire professional lifetime perfecting a specific pattern of movements, you think he can master the exact opposite pattern of moves in just a few weeks??)
