Not a Pastabelly or SI fan at all, but I don't think Gibbs is going to right the ship to the point of another glorious era like 1982-1992. Fact of the matter is the FO screwed up too badly during Spurrier, then on top of that Gibbs and the FO messed it up more. We wasted 2 potential playoff seasons by Gibbs keeping Brunell in for far too long when Mark stunk up the place something terrible. In '04 he put Patrick in a few games too late, when a couple more victories could have meant playoffs, same thing with JC last season. The moves via Free Agency have been a mixed bag at best, but overall a big waste in $$$$$$$. Archuleta, Patten, the FA D linemen we have, etc are total busts. Brunell is the biggest bust of all, costing us what should have been the aforementioned 2 playoff seasons, when on paper we were a powerhouse that should have annihilated the other teams in our division(especially Dallas). Now Lloyd looks to be a future bust unless he gets it going this season, and Portis is going to be a 50+ million dollar part time player with Betts getting about half the carries probably. Don't get me going on the draft. Only decent draft we have had IMHO during Gibbs II was when we traded up for the first 2 rounders in JC and Rogers. THe other drafts made us look like we didn't have a clue or any concrete plan to utilize it to build a team.
