Wise's Article on Vinny

I think Gibbs/Williams had a large say in signings. Find it weird that as soon as they leave we have a completely new strategy to building a team (IE accumulating picks).

For the last year and a half Gibbs was saying that the plan was to keep most, if not all, the draft picks in the immediate future. Plus, not exactly sure what you mean by accumulating picks. Are you talking about all the compensatory picks we got in addition to our regular roster of picks? Because getting those picks was largely the result of the front office (Gibbs and Snyder included) making decisions such as not to keep Dockery.

But to your first line, I just find it interesting that others find it interesting he's taking responsiblity for Arch and Lloyd, yet no one is finding it interesting that he apparently is taking responsibility for Fletcher and Springs.

Being a GM is like being a gambler...you win some...you lose some.

SS -- I meant more the trade down approach. Did we trade down once during Gibbs tenure? I know we moved up twice (granted that was for Campbell and Cooley, so both great moves. I feel like everyone was involved in the decision process.
