Seriously though, I don't think having four people with "Head Coach" in their job title on the same team works. At least not in the first year or two. I do think all of the coaches listed know what they're doing and have proven that their systems work in the NFL, but throwing them all into the same cluster F of an organization and telling them to play nice and fix it doesn't seem to be working.

While I understand the apprehension, just give it one more year. We were not so negative when we made the playoffs in 05. Last year was just an ugly set back. Hard to compete when your entire secondary suffered injuries.

1. THE ADE (Special Teams Demon, as we all know)
2. Clinton Portis (For laughs - as much as anything else)
3. Chris Cooley (doesn't really need an explanation)
4. Santana Moss (speed demon)
5. Cornelious Griffin (for O and D Line needs - he can play both ways).

I am shocked at how many people are listing Campbell. I hope he will be great, but at this point he is in the top 5 most important players on the whole team?! I guess it depends upon how you define important.

Moss has to be there, look what he did with Brunell tossing him the ball, imagine how good he could be with a good QB!

My list in no particular order:

Moss (see above)
Portis (Still got a few years of his best left, super fast and tough, great team man aswell)
Cooley (The TE, can go across the middle, can go deep, breaks tackles, blocks and at such a young age seems to be a leader for the o!)
Thomas (Had to have someone from the best part of this team, i.e. o-line!)
Taylor (Young, seems to have settled down and what a beast, should become a big time playmaker)

Brunell...aww damn, i'm not even going to go there.

Portis
Moss
Taylor
Washington
Thomas

I was really surprised by how many people include Campbell on their list. And while a steady QB is important, he's now a first year starter...much easier to replace than many veterans.

Well for one thing Gibbs practically staked his reputation this time around on Campbell with all those draft picks he gave up. Secondly, he's the starting QB!! If you had to make this top 5 list for every team in the league, the starting QB would be on close to all of them. We aren't the 2000 Ravens. Aside from the Danny, the lack of consistent QB play has plagued this team more than anything since Gibbs left. Campbell is no Heath Shuler. He has the tools to be a big time NFL QB. I think that JC will be the 2nd best QB in the division behind McNabb this year, which would warrant him as a top 5 player for us.

1. Carlos Rogers(needs to step up)
2. Vernon Fox
3. Dockerys backup
4. Phillip Daniels(pass rush please!)
5. Renaldo Wynn(pass rush please!)

Lets face it teams are only as strong as their weakest links. If these positions arent adressed we might have another early pick next year.

I understand the concept, and don't necessarily disagree to him being listed.

However, Gibbs has taken 3 QBs, mediocre or otherwise, to the Super Bowl. And he staked his reputation on a certain Mark Brunell...

It's just hard for me to place faith on a kid who has 7 starts, when there are other holes. If this were a top 10 list, JC would be on mine...
