Gibbs was the man. But Beathard knew this before anyone did.
Arguably the greatest HC, GM duo in NFL History.

Now we have Ron Rivera and Ron Rivera lol.

Yeah, but I take Ron's bad personnel calls ten times over the fuckery that was Vinny Cerrato.

We're making progress, it's just turtle-like in its' pace. Hopefully we can speed up the progress a bit under the next owner.

20 years ago Marty Schottenheimer got fired for asking for total control. We've had Ron in the same position for 3+ years now. Sad it took 20 years but hey, progress is progress.

I think it is by default that Ron has total control. Not by progress. No sought after GM would come anywhere near this franchise now. Obviously things will change once Snyder is officially gone.

That is a terribly low standard to set. Lol. Like I said I don’t expect a Beathard because he was one of a kind, but I will settle for someone who remotely understands what it takes to win.
