Andrew Whitworth is an all time great Bengal and an absolute freak of nature. I hope he continues to do well!
I don't blame the Bengals in not resigning him for that much money at his age and moving on with a first round draft pick. It's just what had to be done (especially without a crystal ball). I blame the 1st round draft pick for not being good at his job.
In the NFL you have to play players for what you project them TO do, not what they've already done. At Whit's age, he is defying the odds and as a business I'm not sure the Bengals could have safely predicted that. Jones and Anderson fell off with age/injury - so I can see the Bengals trepidation. Good on Whitworth and I'm pulling for the Rams to win the NFC.
