GM or no GM, someone needs to have the position of looking out for the long-term well being of the franchise. Gibbs is in the position of having to "win now" every season so he isn't truly in a position to evaluate talent for the long-term, hence some bad FA moves.
Cerrato should be doing this, but he has done a poor job since he has been here and Snyder needs to put his personal relationship with him aside and let him go. Move Gibbs into the Front Office and off the field. Before Free-Agency, Gibbs, Bobby Bethard and JKC built a fantastic team. In NASCAR, Gibbs was successful running the racing organization by building strong teams, and IMO he would be a great "GM" once the coaching duties (win now) were not his responsibility.
