This guy has potential and i was not suprised in the least to see him stay. We gave Heyer time and it panned very well. I think Bugel likes what he sees, I know i do.

The problem is Heyer wasn't 29 when the Skins got him. If Mike Williams is on the Stephon Heyer learning curve he'll be 32 when he's ready to contribute. He has no more potential at this point than he did coming out of college when he was mediocre at best.
Everyone's reacting like I hate the guy. I hope he finds NFL success. I just don't care if it's in Washington. There are plenty of guys out there who can help this team. If Walker is better than him (I happen to think he is) then the Skins should go get him. Plain and simple. Tons of decisions like this happen everyday, this wouldn't be the first time a team gave up on a 29 year old with upside...actually, maybe it would, because 29 year olds generally have no upside, they've reached their potential and if Mike Williams reached his back in Buffalo, he's not worth keeping around while he works himself back in shape.
