I really don't understand why praise for Zorn automatically warrants a backhanded swipe at Gibbs everytime. What purpose does it serve and why stop there? Let's compare Zorn to every coach since Gibbs' first retirement. It's ridiculous. I've seen these comments over and over on various sites since the season started and I'm sick of it.

Don't get me wrong. I want more than anything for Zorn to succeed. I want our fans to experience the same things I did growing up watching a winning franchise. Joe Gibbs inherited a mess when he came back and didn't owe anyone squat. If you're going to continually judge him, then step back and look at the big picture. If anyone says Gibbs left this team worse than when he started, then you're either a complete idiot or you simply get your jollies tearing down a man who has given more to this franchise than any one else in its history. Did Gibbs make mistakes? Sure he did and so will Zorn. When that happens, please don't make excuses for him. I expect everyone who thinks Zorn is the greatest thing since sliced bread to criticize him with the same fervancy they continue to do with Gibbs.

What I find completely ironic is the people that said the Gibbs homers should just let him go and move on when he retired, are the same people who keep bringing him back up, only to offer criticism or take jabs at him. It was hard for me letting Gibbs go, but I moved on. I don't feel the need to compare the two. I've embraced Zorn and I'm excited at the things he's doing here. I hope he surpasses what Gibbs did and brings us 4 Lombardis. Zorn's successes will only add to our legacy. They should not and will not diminish what Gibbs accomplished.
