I think, save a handful of moves, our personnel decisions have been solid since Gibbs' arrival, daft choices included.

But I think the non-moves are equally as important. Remember how everyone was chomping at the bit for us to sign DE Courtney Brown a couple of years ago? He's done and probably won't ever play again. People were upset about letting Ramsey go, letting LaVar go? Hell, even Smoot didn't do much in Minni and he's now a back-up right where he began his career.

So as much as people point out the Archulettas and Ducketts, I'll point to the Courtney Browns, Simeon Rices, Strahans, and Nate Clements that we had the discipline to stay away from.

I think in today's NFL, you're going to learn some tough lessons regarding personnel, and very few, if any teams have a flawless record. You better bet Green Bay's non-moves during the offseason are going to bite them in the ass at some point this year.

I applaud Gibbs, Snyder and yes, Cerrato for doing a pretty good job!
