For the record i'd like to see Gibbs stay at least til the end of next year. The article doesn't really say anything new. There is alot of truth to it, but nothing new.

There are really 2 sides to Gibbs 2.0.

Gibbs and co. have really done some great things in FA and in the draft. W/out doing my homework you've got Cooley, ST, Rocky, Landry, Golston, Montgomery, JC, & Rogers that have been drafted. You've got MW, Fletcher, Moss, ARE, Randy Thomas, Rabach, as some noteable FA's.

On the other hand some of the FO blunders leave a black eye on all of the good things they've done. #1 imo is the Brunell deal. Most didn't understand it at the time and still don't. Then you have in no particular order the Portis deal-throwing in a pick, LLoyd, Duckett, and AA. Just horrible deals that we all questioned at the time.

No new news here and sorry to bring it up again but the point is we do need a GM. This season still can be a success though, so the doom and gloom of the article for this year i don't really agree w/. I'm not ready to give up on it yet as we are 4-3.
