A GM may or may not be the answer. I think the players we have on our team are better than 90% of the roster of most teams in the NFL. A GM would not have won us 5 more games. We got out coached in a few of the games. GW out coached himself this year with trying all kinds of cover 2 schemes that he has never used. We didn't stick with what won us all those games at the end of the year last year. That is why we are 5-9. Our D didn't play with the hear and emotion of last year. Springs being hurt may have hurt us a bit, but when you #1 corner is the getting beat (Carlos) like a mule it doesn't really matter who your #2 is does it? I think the front office, including Gibbs, jumped a little too quick. We had the #11 ranked offense in the NFL last year. Personally, I dont see anything wrong with that. Teams that have the continuity, the familiarity of each other are the ones that start winning more games every year. I think the coaching staff got a little lazy in the offseason and just assumed we would come right back and be the same team. In stead of getting rid of people we think are the problem, why not keep them around(Saunders, williams, AA ect) Williams is a great D coach, Saunders systems have won a super bowl and is usually top 5 every year. I would agree to a GM in the regards to drafting college kids, but all in all its the players and coaches who win and lose games. we have the talent every year to win a ton of games.
