Joe Gibbs and Veteran QB's

I would also say the 87 team was simply great coaching as well because that was not one of the better Redskin Super Bowl teams. I remember the scab game when Dallas had a lot of their players cross the picket line... and play the final scab game. The Skins had 100% scabs and won the game because Gibbs and Pettibone simply out coached Dallas and Tom Landry. I remember Ed Rubbert (sp) got hurt and Tony Robinson, who had just gotten out of jail was running the wishbone. To me that was the best pure coaching I have ever seen. I think Danny White, Tony Dorsett and a few other starters managed like 7 points against our scab defense.http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTcwODQ4NDEzMl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTIwMTgyMQ@@._ V1_SY317_CR4,0,214,317_.jpgDunno why the writers had to make the game in the movie so convoluted. The real game was exciting enough!

Gibbs 1.0 was fantastic. Gibbs 2.0 was a disaster that the organization is only now getting out from under. You cant infer anything about Gibbs 1.0 by looking at Gibbs 2.0.

If disasters make the playoffs in their final season as head coach, what does that make Zorn's tenure?

Yeah those two playoff appearances sure sucked.

I certainly wasn't impressed with some of the trades that took place during Gibbs II but my gosh....the man was out of coaching for years. He came in to a team basically put together by bugeyed Vinny and Snyder. Our best player was murdered during the season. And in 2 of his 4 years here he led the team to the playoffs. If it was so damn easy how come we only went once between Gibbs I and II?

What pisses me off is that Bill Walsh and the WestCoast offense get too much credit. The Redskins, Cowboys and Rams of the 80's and 90's won 7 SB championships using the Air Coryell offense. The Giants and Patriots use the Erhardt-Perkins offense and won 5 SB's (not counting sure Coughlin runs, otherwise it's 7).

How many SB's do u think a WC based team has won? The Walsh coaching tree is arguably the most influential and deepest of them all.

How dare you besmirch the Slip 'n Slide Express! The swinging gate will rise again!

You mean Paul Brown if you want to get down to it.

Man, remember the 5 INTs on his birthday against Dallas to open the season? Or "The Punt" against Chicago?

The only guy who really never fell in Gibbs' good graces was Stan Humphries. Which is too bad because I always kind of liked Stan. But Stan was a bit of an underachiever

Don't sell Stan short, Stan was a massive underachiever.
Stan had the body of a doughnut eating, video game playing softy. If Stan had a little bit of work ethic he would have been a great player.

Having said that I remember early on in Stan's Redskins career, Joe Gibbs saying Stan had a bright future and complimenting him in training camp. I remember being excited to finally seeing Stan play because Gibbs had talked him up.
