If this team had any balls they would have brought Burkhead back and let Hill go. For whatever reason, Hill is broken. Be it injuries, mental issues, bad eyesight or just plain fear, Hill is not the same back from his rookie year. He has regressed in the worst way. 

Rex plays with heart and intelligence. He hits the hole without hesitation and, more importantly, consistently picks the right hole (giggity). The exact opposite of what Hill has become

Re-sign Rex, cut or trade Hill, still draft Mixon. Obviously this is not what happened. Then you would have had a damn solid RB corps, regardless of how Gio recovers from his knee injury. Right now?? We're still in decent shape at RB... But we could have been better 

This is dead on, but to be fair, I believe this divorce was not as amicable as we believe.  Mo was talking one day on 1530ESPN about him leaving and he eluded to ignored texts and calls.  Apparently, Rex was pretty steamed at either his lack of opportunities or him offer.  

Wish I could find an article.  Maybe our own Jim O would know more?
