Gardner is a legit 1000 yard receiver? One out 4, I wouldn't say that's legit, I know he's played in different systems but so has Coles.
Once again we have an in house doctor making claims about Coles' injury.
Gardner was on his way out before Gibbs got here.
Gibbs is always quick to take ALL the blame right on his shoulders. He's never backed down from accepting the blame for the offensive woes. I don't see how you can say Gibbs is using him as the scapegoat. At his press conference he said Gardner asked if he could seek a trade and the team granted him permission to do so. I have never heard Gibbs say Gardner was the problem for the offensive struggles.
Gardner wasn't the sole reason for the offensive struggles, but how many more years should we wait for this legit 1000 yard receiver to break out and start living up to his potential??
I don't think Gardner is garbage, he's a decent #2, but it's time to move on.
