The guy is mediocre on the field.... everyone blames the system.
The guy tackles an opposing player 8 yards AFTER the opponent scores a TD... everyone claims he's "sticking up for the team".
The guy gets arrested, everyone blames the cops or calls it a "youthful indiscretion."
WTF? What makes this guy above scrutiny?
How many of you would blame the system if Terrence McGee was as mediocre on the field? How many of you would say it's "sticking up for the team" if Vince Wilfork tackled Lee Evans 8 yards into the endzone? How many of you would call it a "youthful indiscretion" if Ronnie Brown got tasered and arrested?
For some reason, Whitner transcends criticism around here. Maybe it's because some sportswriter called him a "hard hitter" (even though he's only made one hard hit in his career). Maybe it's because Marv drafted him. Maybe it's because he's on a United Way commercial teaching kids how to play football. But for whatever reason, this guy gets away with garbage that would be unacceptable from any other player, and it defies all logic.
Please STOP giving this guy a free pass for anything and everything he does wrong.
