The problem I have, and what I think Sunset is touching on, is that 70 should have been gone long ago, and even if you lost Whit, you shouldn't have rolled into 2017 with him starting at LT. There is no way that should have happened. As soon as they lost Whit, they should have been working their tails off to get a serviceable LT in FA....or even working on a deal as they were negotiating with Whit as a fail safe.
I get it. They didn't want to gamble on Whitworth.....that's not necessarily a bad decision when we look at it objectively. However, anyone with a set of functioning eyes and some form of brain activity could tell Cedric Ogbuehi would never make it at this level. At least not on this team, anyway. Not only is he a terrible player, he seems to have zero heart out there. Bad combination. Relying on him was beyond stupid.
That's fair.
