The factor that doesn't getting discussed when people invoke Gibbs' 3 rings as reason to "trust" him, is that he was GM for exactly zero of those championships. instead, we had bobby bethard, who is widely regarded as one of the true personel geniuses in NFL history.

While I trust Gibbs to manage the game on sunday, and feel that I owe him that based on his past record, I do not feel obliged to trust his GM abilities. Indeed, there is one glaring personel decision he has made this year that I felt was outrageous at the time, and grows more indefensible with each passing week. You guys know who I'm talking about.....Walt Harris.

But seriously, I can guarantee you that Bethard wouldn't have gone and dropped 43 mil and a third rounder on a washed up QB, when the future was waiting there to be properly schooled.

And I know that Gibbs isn't technically GM, but Brunell was all his call.

No I'm not a Gibbs hater, and no I'm not Zach Mills in disguise. I am just think its harder to trust his personel acumen with each passing week.
