Yeah you're right and what gets me is how the media has said that the game has passed Gibbs by and this is a "young mans" sport. Of course Bradshaw said this so naturally you have to take it with a grain of salt..but still if this is true then why would the media disregard the success that Vermeil had after his first year back....knowning that he had been away from the NFL just as long if not longer than Gibbs and he's OLDER than Joe Gibbs. To build a true playoff Super Bowl contender team that is consistantly at that level each year..it takes awhile and I suppose thinking this team would be an instant success is probably a bit unfair to Gibbs. This team has had at least 11 years of misery (one good playoff year), and it takes time to undo over a decade's worth of losing.
