I don't agree with it, but with our track record, I can understand how they can have the Skins at #18....Gibbs alone probably brought us out of the bottom 10. But Atlanta at #7? WTF??? Yeah, Vick is good, but come on! They have a rookie head coach, and contrary to what many believe, one man can't make that much of a difference.
Let me put it another way, with the same team (hypothetically), who would you rather have...Gibbs as HC or Vick as QB? I'd choose Gibbs, no question.

(not that these rankings really mean anything, but it's a very slow NFL news time of year...)

atlanta is gonna be a lot better this year especially with their additions in the draft and offseason including signing alex gibbs i think his name is. he was the offensive line coach for denver and will help provide a solid line of protection for vick this year and him being in the west coast offense is gonna help him immensely.
as relates to us being #18, i think it has more to do with them being skeptical with all of our other "great" offseasons of recent memory resulting in nothing but unrest in redskins faithful. they had a link up for fans to rank the teams in what orders they believe they should be and after doing so(i had the skins at 6 or 7), i guess it averages it out with other votes cuz it had the skins at 14.
