Hypothetical for Bengals LT Whitworth

Just read an article about Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth upset after the Bengals double dipped at the OT position in the draft.

 

(Link: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000491026/article/whitworth-miffed-after-bengals-draft-two-tackles?campaign=Twitter_atn_hanzus)

 

Would you be in favor/against possibly trading for Whitworth? 

 

 

Just some pros and cons:

 

Pros:

- Experienced LT for a good team that ranked 6th in the NFL in rushing yards (Carolina was 7th)

- Did not allow a sack in 533 snaps last year

- Only gave up 1 hit and 8 hurries

- Highest Pass Blocking Efficiency (98.7)

 

OT Stats Link: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/02/12/sig-stats-pbe-offensive-tackles/

 

Cons:

- He is 33 years old, nearing the end of his career as a dominant LT

- May cost a lot to get him due to Ogbuehi being unable to play this year and possibly reluctance throwing Fisher into the fire as starting LT

- Stats may be inflated due to the dominance of the rest of the Bengals OL (ranked 6th best in pass block, 6th in run blocking, and 6th in penalties)

- Is a captain and may be reluctant to leave Cincinnatti

 

OL Ranking: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/01/08/2014-pff-offensive-line-rankings/4/

 

No doubt would be an upgrade over Oher (though I do hold out hope he returns to his early career successes) and Martin at LT. Would also allow for Remmers and Williams to solidify the RT with Trai / Norwell / Kalil filling in the rest of the spots. 

 

Thoughts?

I'm not that interested in him, honestly. Maybe it's the attitude.

Prior to the draft, he called out the Bengals in the media. He basically said "I dare you to draft someone at my position".

Well, the team called his bluff and drafted two. Now he looks pretty silly.

Andrew Whitworth was arguably the best tackle in football last year. He only gave up 1QB hit and 8 hurries last year that is absolutely ridiculous and i would love for the Panthers to go after him should he become available.

I would certainly be down with it but after listening to the G- Man interview on WFNZ he sounds like Oher is adequate in his eyes.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
