Anyone else see Donte Whitner....

[OpIv37]

drop what would have been a 99 yard pick 6, then proceed to point at the end zone and run his mouth at Rodgers? REALLY?

And did anyone see him bail when he had the shot to unload on Brandon Jackson inside the 5 fairly late in the game? Jackson was already being slowed down from behind and Donte was coming in like a rocket, then slowed down at the last possible second. So much for the "big hitter" label.

Oh, and in typical fashion he got beat one on one by the TE.

Yes, I'm well aware that Donte was far from the worst player on the field today. Yes, I'm well aware that S's don't usually cover one on one (but I firmly believe they should be able to run one on one with a TE). I'm just sick of guys that don't make plays but still run their trap.

Yep saw him blow a pick 6 today. As usual they play well enough to keep a roster spot but not win games.

And this is the mentality that this organization has to get away from.

Whitner would get a lot less crap from fans if he did not run his trap so much.

Thank you.

We're Bills fans. We're accustomed to mediocrity. We just don't like it when people bring public attention to said mediocrity.

I actually agree with this.

He's an average NFL S but he runs his mouth like he's a star. Doing that draws the ire from most of the fanbase.

He's far from a problem on this team but he's also not part of the solution.

Gotta make that play.

he actually is a problem....i mean, what does he do well?

He doesn't excel in any area but he's not extremely deficient in any areas either.

Hence my point, he's average.

If he shut his mouth people wouldn't nitpick when he makes a mistake. Every NFL player makes a mistake from time to time. Even Troy "the hair!"

I wrote about this in my article for my site last week. Multiple times in Week 1 I saw him tackle a guy AFTER giving up a first down and then run his mouth at the guy. Last year on twitter I said it was too bad he was better at running his mouth on Twitter than playing football, for which he subsequently blocked me. The fact that we used the #8 overall pick on the guy makes me I'll like no other pick. Though Maybin is closing ground quickly.

I think Whitner might be gay. It's the only explanation.

At least Whitners serviceable, Maybin is a flat out bum who can't crack the starting lineup of one of, if not the, worst defenses in the NFL.
