The fact that he doesn't seem ready to fill Whit's shoes by his third year is on the coaches. Granted, yes, he was injured for parts of his first two seasons, but his development is still behind all the same.
Agreed. But, I saw an NFL executive talking about the draft. Only about 50% of 1st Round picks become starters. 50%!
The Bengals draft guys to replace veterans that leave and don't rely heavily on free agency. That 50% hit rate REALLY is a kink in that strategy!
