Zombo Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Stepped away from the Broncos a year ago when he was diagnosed with Amyloidosis. One of our better recent GMs, glad to see him get that ring with the Broncs. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Dawg Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I read a few months back that he was taking a leave of absence from the Broncos to battle his amyloidosis. IMO, Heckert has been the the best of the worst GM's since the Browns return in '99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abnormal proteins start replacing normal proteins in the affected organs.... "Amyloidosis can affect the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system, stomach or intestines. The condition is rare (affecting fewer than 4,000 people in the United States each year), but it can be fatal. ... It also sometimes occurs in people with kidney disease who have undergone dialysis for a long time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingDawg Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Worst GM in Brown's history. Made a hell of a cup of coffee according to Andy Reid, though. Bye Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sashi passing on Wentz and Watson. Meanwhile Heckert passed on Julio Jones for a 400lb run stuffing nose tackle with two bad feet... Yeah. Over 40 draft picks with zero stand out impact players outside of Mangini (That guy Heckert Shmucked over) picks Ward and Haden. I can't tho k of any GM's before or after that managed to waste 6 1st round draft picks, 8 2nd round draft picks and 40 total picks on trash the way Tom "Character doesn't matter in football" Heckert quite did, though Sashi was getting there rapidly.

He certainly wasn't the worst though. Besides Ward and Haden. Trash? Cameron made the pro bowl, Sheard was at least a decent player. Travis Benjamin is still in the league, Skrine was better than any CB we had last year. Gordon ever gets his act together, almost passable. You obviously can't count- I saw 26 picks, plus one for Gordon. No need to be nasty, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Don't want to speak bad of him. Seemed like a regular guy. He traded up for Richardson then took Weeden. Two first round picks in one draft, wasted. He fits right in with the other 21st century Browns GM's. 51....way too young. God bless him, his family and friends. -------------------- Tom Heckert stuck his neck out for Josh Gordon................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
