I think THE biggest mistake of the past 5 years was the Brunell trade, which by the way was all Gibbs. We could have had (at various times) Warner, Brees, Garcia, Pennington, Schaub to name a few and who knows what else may have materialized in the draft. Either way, we have consistently whiffed at getting a sure fire, elite QB. That above all coaching, coordinators and anything else has crippled our offense for the past 10 years.

Also keep in mind Gibbs always liked the older players that wouldn't make mental mistakes and cost the teams games. Even if the player was a mediocre player he found a way to have his team coach them up ie; Bugel. I don't know who his QB coach was during JG1 but if I remember correctly most of his QB's had a QB rating of like 70 something. Usually lower then all the other teams that made it into the play offs but some how Gibbs found a way to adjust his team to make take the win.
