For example why did we draft Whit?? to replace Willie.. and Whit worked out.. if Cedric worked out, we would not be having this discussion...
As for Joseph, i would have hoped to keep him but I believe Texas outbid us for him but i could be wrong and we had 3 1st round corners.. Adam Jones on the cheap and Hall was a year behind so we had his contract coming up..
We can;t sign everyone and hindsight is easy to forget about the situations at the time...
Except Whit played LG and wasn't a dumpster fire before he replaced Willie. Meanwhile we saw two years of Ogbuehi and he was absolutely terrible. That isn't hindsight to say letting an All-Pro LT go to start Ogbuehi was a terrible idea.
Sorry, but I just hate when people try to use the "hindsight" argument when it is something that wasn't hindsight because it was blatantly obvious from the get-go.
