Gibbs' big mistakes during his tenure were relying too much on personnel decisons from Al Saunders (ARE) and Greg Williams (Arch) and that he over-valued Campbell. But Gibbs did a HoF job turning the franchise around from where it was. I'll always wonder what could've been if the ST tragedy hadn't happened.

We made some big trades and FA pickups that helped us in those runs. Moss, Portis, Brunell came in trades. Marcus Washington, Springs, etc came in FA. Our trades have flopped and the FA pickings are slimmer or not worth taking.
