I think Gibbs bought a very expensive square peg and is pummeling it with a very large sledge. Admitting to himself that signing Brunell to a big contract was a mistake amounts to admitting that his dream of a Superbowl repeat might not happen because of the damage it's done to the salary cap.
I trust that Gibbs is a very good coach who is smart enough to realize that he made a very bad mistake and is trying his hardest to deal with it the best way he knows. I trust that he wishes he signed a better free agent quarterback or signed Brunell to a contract that didn't hurt the team long term.
I don't trust that he is making all the right decisions for the franchise.
