Troy Blackburn can on about “aging offensive tackles” and their value all he wants, but Whit would have been far and away our best olineman the last few years. With Hopkins emergence as a decent center that would have been LT and C locked down, instead, well...
Meanwhile, Whit went out to LA and was an All Pro and helped his team reach a Super Bowl.
Actually you spinned it by saying we let him go.. we did not let him go... he choose to sign with Rams.. it would be hard to find a team that has not done the same thing.. drafted a player to replace a aging player.. not all of those drafted players work out. that is what happen here.
I hated to see Whit go but I more hated that Cedric did not work out.. if you look back though he was not a reach pick... he just never panned out into the player we thought we were getting from College...
