For the Whitworth faithful

I still believe that if he wanted to be here, he would be here.

But, it's almost nice that he isn't.  That way we aren't under any delusions that this team is better than it actually is, and some of the problems that are masked by exceptional players wouldn't have come to light.  Problems like slack coaches for the OL, OC, and HC positions;  Not to mention the fact that the team's philosophy of spending as little as possible on interior linemen is now greatly exposed.

Sure, if Whitworth were on this team, they might be 4-1 or even 5-0, who knows?  Everyone would be on cloud nine, thinking this is really going to be the year, just like in '15, only to get completely dressed down by a team truly build for Championship contention with superior coaching.

Do I miss Whitworth being on the team?  Hell yes, he was my favorite player for a long time.  But, he's only one guy, and he can't possibly cover for all of the underlying problems with this team.
