When will Skins fans WAKE UP!!! Gibbs gets the final call on all personnel/coaching moves since he returned 3 years ago. I'm sick of everyone blaming The Danny and Vinnie. If Gibbs says he wants someone, then by God, The Danny will spend to get him, be it a coach or a player. Gibbs chose to go after Brunell as his initial move. Some of his acquisitions have been solid (Washington, Portis, Moss, Griffin). It bothers me most that Gibbs doesn't structure cap expenditures in a way that allows us to hold onto solid players like Smoot and Pierce. He prefers the paying big money for the castoffs from a terrible 49ers team. Go figure.
I have said this before, and I'll say it again; I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Joe Gibbs, however he has been away from the game a long time, and to come back into the league after such a lengthly absence and begin making personell decisions for the team is a bit hasty, as well as prematute. It's a difficult assignment for those who are constantly associated with the game year in and year out, it's surely compounded when you're away from the game for twelve years. He just dosen't know the league personel well enough to effectively make all the decisions in reference to such. He surely has to have other input from someone else in the oprganization because it would be impossible for him to make these decisions all on his own.
