Who knows, I'm not totaly blown away by the pick, but I'm still having a hard time liking it.

Well, you gotta understand the reason why we WERE good back then.Two reasons: We had depth in key positions and we had good character players. I believe things were quicker for us in the early part of Gibbs' first tenure because he had the components mostly in place in the beginning.
