And Greg Williams is even worse in this category. A GM would take away those conflicting views as long as he was given enough control. I think Gibbs can shape a player with a bad attitude into a player with a good attitude, since he has that ability, HE IS JOE GIBBS. The key is for someone else to give him the tools that are necessary, since Gibbs and GWilliams can't seem to objectively judge talent.

For all the "character" talk, i've not seen much action. where was it when we let pierce go- who gibbs consistently referred to as a core redskins guy- and signed Brandon Lloyd- who has temper tantrums on the sidelines...while these are just 2 cases, seems to me gibbs talks a big character game, but doesn't back it up...
