actually the redundancy and predictability will put me right back to sleep
If that's the case I am surprised your able to watch a game without slipping into a coma?

1. Drafting Taylor instead of Winslow 2.
Now, first let me say I'd rather have Taylor any day, but both players have off the field incidents, and Winslow has had that compounded with being unlucky. Don't look now, but he has more receptions than any TE in the league, has 561 receiving yards, and 3 TD, the only TE ahead of him is TG with 588 yards and 3 TD.
This means a TE on a team with a young QB, awful line, and a shuffling offensive staff in Cleveland has more yards than any of our receivers.
What Im getting at, is Gibbs, I dont feel, would have gone wrong with either player in the grand scheme of things.

If Wislow had done here what he's done in Cleveland while Taylor was off returning fumbles for Tds for another team, there would be ten threads a day moaning about what a horrible talent evaluator Gibbs is. I cringe to even think about it.

I agree, 70Chip -- but you can't right Winslow off yet as a pro prospect. I think both will be excellent players.

didn't bother reading that, but guessing its contents.
yes a good GM would help. yes, whoever's in charge of personnel decisions isn't very good at it (the failure rate on FAs CANNOT be 50% since so much money i involved), yes i'd like more draft picks.
right now there's really nothing that can be done besides playing out the season. I do think a paring down of the staff is probably in order and that gibbs shouldn't be so passive and willing to delegate authority to anyone and everyone (the players call themselves in and out, they decide on uniforms, they get a club med preseason, etc, etc).
but all of this has already been said before (dating back to preseason - really, all of it), so i'm not sure that repeating it 40,000 times after every loss is necessary. of course, that's why i usually wait till tuesday to even look at this site after losses. I'm really surprised by how much talk this last game brought up though...
