More important, if things turn out as we suspect, is that Mitch was absolutely right in stressing that this whole issue should have been dealt with early in the offseason.
All of the to-and-fro has left us with AD going into this season.
Wouldn't Jason Campbell been a better option when he was being shopped, or Donovan McNabb?
And given what Seattle paid for Whitehurst, don't you think that a similar deal could have been brokered with Seattle to reunite Matt with his old coach?
Some will say, that you don't trade within the division; but why not, if the price is right and you've already concluded that Matt is substandard?
And this delay also affected how we viewed, and addressed the QB situation in the draft.
Graves and Whiz both received new deals in the offseason, speaking to the high regard for both by the Bidwill's. It seems to me, that they could have used some of this cachet to deal with the Matt problem.
I'm having a hard time finding the proper phrases or words to describe this situation, but they would range in the opposite of forward planning; competent management, and being straightforward.
