Everyone here is a great GM with the benefit of hindsight.
Whitworth was coming off a Pro Bowl year, which was preceded by a 1st Team All-Pro year, preceded by a 2nd Team All-Pro year. He was playing at the peak of his position each year. He was also probably the biggest leader on the entire team.
Reiff has never been a Pro Bowler, never been an All-Pro, never been at the peak of his position, and I don't recall him being a big leader.
But you feel free to keep on keeping on with your idea that letting Whitworth go being a terrible move was a hindsight idea.
