Don't put words in people's mouths. Whit was in good shape when he was here and we didn't give him a multiple year deal 
that he deserved. We needed to sign him then and I said it then, he was the main need in that Offseason and we screwed it 
up. Evidence =his last 3 years as a Ram even if he fell off a bit at LT he might still be a good LG as he gets up there.

The Patriots knew when to move on, we didn't. Definitely smarter.

While everyone can agree that we love the guy and wish he could have stayed here, the smart move was, in fact, to draft a tackle (or two) to prepare for the future.  If Og was what they thought he would be, he could have slid Whit to LG or maybe moved to RT.  Whit's ultimate departure was compounded by the fact that the Bengals whiffed horribly on Og and Fisher.  Had they been good players, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
