Whitworth-Bengals lowballed

[Whatever]

That's a big reason why this turned out to be a bad move.  If Whit downturned like 99.9999999999% of OT's did, the Rams look stupid.  If Og or Fisher turned the corner like they should have, it doesn't look that bad.  It's the fact they missed horribly with the 2 guys they drafted to replace him that makes it terrible.  This is the main disadvantage of coaches scouting players.  Because the coaches scouted those players, they are not going to be willing to fall on their sword and admit they are busts.  They are going to defend them to the last.
