"You are absolutely correct. We all loved Whit, but the fact is it was time to turn the roster, get younger and faster, and see what they can do. This team didn't win a playoff game with the old guard, and maybe it can be a better team with the infusion of youth and speed. "

"Wish you the best Whit... But if big pay day is what you were after you know it was gonna come from a team that wasn't in the hunt."

"Pretty disappointing/funny he isn't at least going to a winner. Can't say I respect that but it's his choice."

"Man, talk about overpaying, 3yr/36 million, 15 million guaranteed for a 35 year old. Good for Whit though on getting a nice pay day."

As for the real worst moves ever, I have always said that the list in my mind is...
1. Letting Mike Brown take over after Paul Brown died.
2. Not trading the Akili pick for the Saint's entire draft, plus 2 more 1st rounders and 1 more second rounder.
3. Not getting rid of Marvin and hiring Mike Zimmer as coach before he left.
The Whit move is pretty darn awful, but I don't think it is even in the same category as those three.
