Andrew Whitworth

2014 PFF Top 101 - #16

Quote

How flawless was Whitworth in pass protection? He didn’t grade negatively once all year in this regard and had an incredible 10 games where he didn’t give up any pressure at all. Thats remarkable even when you consider the help the Bengals scheme provides in getting rid of the ball quickly. Throw in some excellent run blocking and it’s amazing Whitworth isn’t more highly regarded around the league.

2015 PFF Top 101 - #41

Quote

There are few more consistent players than Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth, who posted the ninth-consecutive positively-graded season of his career, representing every season PFF has been grading, with a retrospective 2006 in the works to complete his career. Whitworth allowed 23 total pressures over 1,124 snaps (including the playoffs) in 2015, and again graded positively as both a run-blocker and pass-protector—as he has every season of his career. The Bengal may be getting up there in years, but there remains few more consistently-excellent tackles than Whitworth.

2016 PFF Top 101 - #26

Quote

There is no more perennially underrated and under-appreciated tackle than Andrew Whitworth of the Bengals. He ended the 2016 season with the league’s best pass-blocking efficiency score (98.0), allowing just 14 total QB pressures across 561 pass-blocking snaps. Whitworth recorded six games this year in which he had perfect pass-protection games. His run blocking was solid, albeit not the strength it has been in seasons past.

 

Matt Kalil just doesn't compare, regardless of his younger age.

Sorry, i can't resist...  but where was this freewheelin' version of Gettleman when dealing with Norman last year?

25M guaranteed?  55M total?  And so many here have ragged on Hurney for the contracts he gave out, lol.  Look, i think having his brother here and Matsko will help a bit, but we just gave 55M to a guy who was rated lower than Oher.  I'm hoping for the best, but on paper this is horrible as-is.

My guess is the first 3 years are fully guaranteed. So $25 million over 3 years is $8.33 million a year and in the market today that is as good of a gamble as we're going get with the Panthers management. 

Yep... I bet it is 5-8-12 per year. Then if the three year experiment doesn't work, we've gotten a bargain at what free agent LTs are going to be going for over the next three years.

Now lets go get Swearinger at Safety, Warmack on the inside to compete at Guard, Jordan Mills to come in and take over RT duties, and Devin Taylor to add to the pass rusher rotation... I will look like a modern day Nostradamus!

I hate that Andre Branch re-upped with Miami. I thought we would make a push for him. I will settle for Taylor though, and make him earn it like Kalil will have to.

A bargain for three years at what expense tho? Cam's health? The offense being able to operate? A bargain is well and good but not when the play on the field is piss poor (if the three year experiment didn't work).

Because CBs are replaceable as are DTs. OTs are getting harder to find anywhere. Most in the draft are just OGs that played OT in college.

 

Ohh yeah, and he was a fool that ran his mouth with a weak a$$ agent.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.

      he doesn't have the arm to make all the throws, the premier QBs make.  That's a fact.   So there are plays that won't exist for him that will for others.    To act like every QB in the NFL can make all the same throws isn't a stance anyone actually takes.....yet folks are doing it for Bryce.
