The Danny prior to Gibbs went after big names that were on the down side of their careers. Gibbs altered the philosophy by mostly signing guys entering their prime years. And don't forget about Randy Thomas - he was acquired the same year as Coles, and he's worked out very nicely.

But it was Gibbs that HAD to have Brunell. I actually like Brunell, but we paid a way too high a price for him, and let's face it, he is sliding fast on the down side.
But speaking of wide receivers, there were none better thn the Posse...
Monk, Clark, Sanders. There is a pretty good article in the Washingtonian this month about Redskin QB's. Boy, it would be nice to have a good one now.
