Gibbs has come in and rectified some of the problems, but we are still paying the price for Cerratos mistakes. Why do you think Schottenheimer, wanted him out when he came to the skins? Schottenheimer builds his teams from the ground up (which he would have done here given the time) and now has San Diego in great shape to be perrenial winners, we on the other hand, (since he has been here), go out and grab FA’s paying them top dollar and trade away our draft picks, we will never get out of salary cap hell if we continue down this road. And we still would be in trouble if the CBA was signed, every year we are forced to restructure to get under the cap.

the last two years have been fine. brunell's contract was awful, but the other three (wynn, samuels, lavar) weren't gibbs's fault. no one else has gotten a terrible contract (for the team) under his watch. sean taylor is the most underpaid top 5 pick ever (7years 18mill, the average for a 1st rounder is close to 2.8mill a year, and being top, he should make OVER the average, yet he isn't. Its incentive laden to the point that he hass to make the pro bowl to get paid equal to his performance). cooley (who has a 4 year for nearly vet min), and moss (top WRs get 7mill a year, he was #2 and he's not even getting half that). washington and griffin both are playing above contract etc.


once gibbs got here the money well dried up pretty quickly. with a new cba, we wouldn't have been able to break the bank, but the core is/was in place for the longterm.

Vinny's about as effective as Pepper Rodgers was at whatever the hell he was hired to do.
