That, and the NFL wanted to return to a market that just as quickly promised a new stadium and a huge expansion franchise fee if the name could be secured. Money drove that decision as much as letters did.
Allow me to play Optomist.. He has, thus far, put together a 2-6 team. Now, they've looked better as of late and I'm real happy about that because I am a Heckert fan. I still don't think that it is a slam dunk decision yet, although it is looking like it will work out for he and us. Truthfully, I think there is still quite a bit to evaluate and play-out, but it is looking like the JMJs, Skrine, Winn, Hughes, etc. are going to work out. The only two flops I see are Hardesty and Marecic.
Are we calling Colt McCoy and Greg Little a definite success?

Would have said keep him here til he drafted a 29 year old in the 1st round to be the starting QB on a terrible team that is rebuilding.... That decision alone wouldn't make me too upset if he's gone.
29 year old QB still has at least 7 quality years, maybe moreso since he doesn't have 7 years of NFL hits on his body that a normal 29 year old QB has.
If we're still in the midst of this rebuild (Save the "we've been rebuilding for the past 13 years" jokes, I mean the rebuild that Heckert/Holmgren started) after 7+ years, then we had more problems than just "taking a 29 year old QB in the 1st round on a terrible team that's rebuilding"..
No, but we'll probably still be rebuilding for at least 1 or 2 more years.
To which point that 7 year window is shrinking .... rapidly ...
29 year old QB in the 1st that is currently ranked the worst QB in the NFL.
Forgot to mention the bolded.
