Sure...you didn't really expect him to play like Darrelle Revis this year, did you? He'll be more than fine as the starter next season.

Because he was the 17th overall pick? Because the fact that he's 4 years into his career and it was only his first as a starter. Because he made more than a "few" mistakes. Because he was THIRD in the NFL in penalties? Because he still can't tackle worth a damn? Because teams regularly picked on him in coverage because he's not good?

Maybe because either the Bengals need to pay him $7.5m in 2016 for his 5th year option, or otherwise he's a FA?

Now that you mention it, I have no idea why Kirkpatrick gets hate.
