I truly believe that we need a GM after this season is over. We need someone to handpick talent in the draft and make smart moves when it comes to signing free agents as well as trades. This guy has a great eye for talent. I believe having a GM is a start to change this franchise around. I think he will leave the Chargers after this season and will be free to sign any where. I would love to have him in control of putting a roster together. What do you guys think?

I don't think we need a General Manager. I think that's just a tired excuse. We make good moves and bad moves, just like most other teams. And many teams don't have anyone with a title "General Manager" anyway.
As for AJ Smith in particular, keen eye for talent sure but I still think he's an idiot for hiring Norv Turner.

If Gibbs doesn't finish with a record of .500 or better, Im officially off the GM bandwagon, and onto the new coach bandwagon. Gibbs winning percentage is the same now as Norv's.

Only if he hires Marty Schottenheimer.
Is it confirmed that A.J. Smith could be leaving San Diego or is this just wishful thinking?

Even if A.J. Smith doesen't leave the Chargers I would love to see this team get a GM. A lot of successful teams have one and it is one less thing for the coaches to think about. I honestly think we could use one here in Washington and I would love to see one sometime soon.

Well, we wished an offensive coordinator here. I guess it could be a realistic possiblity.

I think Job Gibbs did pretty well with drafts however he did not do well with free agency.. So I think it's more of half and half..

Interesting take. The Skins need a GM. Hmm, I hadn't thought of that before.

i think we need a coach!!! not a GM. Joe gibbs had his time in the sun, but the sun has set on his ability to coach. Gibbs plays the same week in week out. conservative, conservative, conservative. If i have to watch one more gibbs postgame interview after a loss and listen to him say-" the guys fought their guts out today, and im proud of them" im goin to flip!!! how did we fight our guts out when we lose two halftime leads!!! Then get spanked 52-7, Gibbs can move to the Gm desk and stay with the team to buy the groceries, let someone else cook the dinner...
