Ol' I wanna speak to the manager face...I'm sure the Bengals media will get right on it for you, sir. What is your obsession with Westerman, clearly you hold him in higher regard than the rest of the NFL. Maybe you get a GM job ala Mike Mayock and sign Westerman so you can finally see him realize his potential.

Super Bowl here we come...I wonder if he was in Canton getting his bust created for the last few days. Seriously though, I hope everything is ok and he's ready to compete and prove all of his fan boys right about how totally awesome he is at playing football.

I never said he was, the people who work at PFF are/could be.

#NewDey or whatever the fuck this dumbass tagline is....but Taylor vouched for him and he's a good guy despite his gruff exterior...he's just misunderstood that's all

You do realize that PFF grades are very opinion based and not truly a result of advanced analytics. I know that some PFF guys are in fact Bengals fans, since PFF operates out of Cincinnati and is owned partly by Collinsworth, maybe some of that unintentional basis has crept into their judgment of Westerman. I would not use a week 14 PFF grade as justification for the Westerman hype that exists amongst some Bengals fans. He's the backup QB of the oline, the most popular player who never plays. I seriously doubt 3 NFL oline coaches have decided that he's a backup but PFF and certain fans know better.

Consensus HS All American doesn't guarantee you an starting NFL gig, I know you know that. Cream of the PAC 12 crop is a stretch, he made 2nd All PAC 12 once. If anyone's heart isn't in it, it's Westerman, not Ross. Westerman was only playing because his was trying to please the old man, he'd probably be doing something else if it was up to him and that is what he's doing. Good for him, he's living his life and not trying to please others..#YOLO.

People on here acting like Westerman is the victim of some grand conspiracy to stifle his development and keep him off the field, like he's John Conner and the Bengals oline coaches are various iterations of the Terminator sent to destroy him are hilarious at best seemed detected from reality in this situation.

Lol....Marvin has nothing to do with Westerman decision, you're acting like he's a future HOF player. Dude was 5th round pick that couldn't beat out Alex Redmond and countless other stiffs for a starting gig. How many teams are beating down the door to acquire him via trade? 3 different NFL line coaches have decided to not start him.... I was wondering how long it was going to take before someone blamed Marvin Lewis for this and here it is....

Chris Carter is playing at a high level, it would be a shame if he were cut but there is a lot of politics involved in making the final 53 and some team will notice his play and give him a shot. I like Coley's predictions but the Bengals hope find a spot for Carter, dude's been balling.
