For the Whitworth faithful

I'm also not sure where this one pressure stuff comes from.  There was a thread about the sack fumble he allowed against the Redskins.  He was the 14th ranked LT by PFF, iirc, after that game, and no way he's that low giving up only one pressure unless he is complete garbage in the run game.

The one pressure stat came from the people covering the game, I trust their stats and info more than PFF which tends to be more biased then jungle noise after a loss, or a win or any controversial play.

How exactly is Whit not worth the contract?

This team is 2-3. The number 1 reason for the crap start? Not the OC, not even giggles or Dalton or anyone people want to blame. The issues facing this team came from an O-line unit that played (and still plays) really poorly, has no leadership and is not coming together.

Can you put a price one wins? Whit holding down Andy's blindside helps Dalton stay calm, is a leader in the O-line room and maybe, just maybe helps the unit gel faster. 

Not too mention the Rams can pretty much walk away from Whit after 1 year with a minimal cap hit. 

The team screwed up on this move. Can't let a leader and a damn solid player walk away when you don't have someone ready to replace him.
