QB or defense: what's the bigger problem?

(But nobody trades franchise QB´s. You wanna know why? Because it´s the most important part of the team. How many picks would it take to get Peyton Manning? Carson Palmer? Tom Brady? Donovan McNabb? We could offer CP, Cooley, Moss, and Marcus Washington the Grim reaper and the next five drafts and they would say, "No thanks.") We could fix our D, be top 5 in D, and still not make the playoffs or lose early. Get a QB, take a deep sigh of relief, and build the team.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but isn't that what Gibbs has tried to do since he got here? He immediately brought in a veteran that could win now even though we already had Ramsey. Then he drafted a young QB to hopefully take over the reigns in a couple years and hold it for many more.

You can question whether Gibbs brought in the right QBs or not, but I don't think you can question his intentions.
