Look who he's had playing next to him, nothing but Centers that can be described as "serviceable at best", and an on again-off again Tackle, that is generally dinged up in some sort of way. I believe that Zeitler is much better than you want to give him credit for.
DeCastro played next to a backup center for the entirety of 2015. Joe Thomas and Alex Mack played next to more bad and forgettable guards than I could probably even imagine. Andrew Whitworth played next to Nate Livings. Great players will be great players regardless.
Much better than I want to give him credit for? This isn't me saying he stinks or that he can't play or something. I already said he's a good guard. I'm giving him credit. I am just saying he's not the better of the two guards the Bengals were choosing from and is not great. Still a good player, good starter, just not what was expected/hoped.
