This team gives players big contracts before they have ever done anything for the team. They always need players to play up to their contract instead of finding players that outplay their contract.
The drafted players have been ok (St has been very good). As for Campbell I dont know how anyone could tell if he has been good or not since he does not play and in addition we spent 3 picks to get him.
Portis was worth giving the picks away for (I guess) but somehow denver can draft portis type RBs and not have to pay them a ton of $ and mortgage the future in the process. The other players mentioned are good but I'm just not sure they are worth what was given.

From the day Saunders joined he knew that Gibbs would be involved. He has to be and should be. That doesn't mean he's not letting Saunders do his job. I'm not going to touch the play before you pay argument because I really don't understand what your point is there. Campbell is an unknown, but if you choose to look at a positive (which apparently almost no one here does) is that in 2007 we'll have a starting QB who has had the benefit of learning at the NFL level for two years as opposed to a rookie thrown into the fire.
Maybe I'll start a thread on the myth of the Denver running back. Portis has more than proven he's not a Denver system back and is far better than anything they have there.
