The only different between the two is the lack of reason.

Like you, Gibbs and company have my backing and support of the Brunell move even though I don't personally approve.

However, if Gibbs decided that doing an entire roster overhaul mid-season, I might have to start questioning his motives. It's one thing to follow a team and another thing to BLINDLY follow a team. I think that most of us here are the former (and it seems like you are too). I'm basically just wondering what you would think if Gibbs decided that our WRs were terrible and we needed to release them now and sign some practice squadders.

Point taken! I guess for me my reasons for being extensively supportive of Coach Gibbs partly if not completely derives from him being there when I fell in love with this game! As a female, it is not that common that you find one with such a love for the game as I have. I am a DIE-HARD skins fan, no doubt about that....married to a DIE-HARD cowboys fan (go figure) but I just love the game and because I have such a love for the game and the coach, maybe at times I am following him BLINDLY, who knows....(just as you--I would begin to questions some changes if they appeared unfounded) but the QB change appears to me a necessity if we are trying to have a over .500 season this year!

I do agree with that. Cowboys fan eh? I bet Sundays are interesting in your house!

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-14-2005, 01:23 PM

I guess just like Paula Abdul and the giant cat sang, opposites attract.

LMAO!!!!

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-14-2005, 01:31 PM

This year it's either celebratory or "I'm sorry the Skins lost" sex.

It's win-win baby.

Did anyone see th interview in which they asked Lavar about the QB change it looked like he had all he could do from shaking his head and laughing, he sounded like he wanted to say this poor kid what next, then he said were all men he has to tough it out, he really looked like he was biting his tongue.

SkinsRock · 09-14-2005, 02:22 PM

YES!

I haven't read through the thread so I apologize if this has been said in one way or another...

In addition to being a HOF, 3 Superbowl winning coach, we have to remember that Gibbs is also a human being. We all make mistakes and say and do things we shouldn't at times. Gibbs shouldn't have promised the job to Ramsey like he did, but I firmly believe that he is doing what he believes is best for the team, in terms of winning football games. With his track record, who are we to argue?

Yup, I saw it last night on Fox5, came on after 'House' went off, it did look like he wanted to bust out laughing...I think his final comment was " I feel for him".

56FAN · 09-14-2005, 02:52 PM

we can't let ourselves get caught up in all this stuff the media stirrs up, YES i whole heartedly trust gibbs, it's a shame how the bitterness and the cynical ways of the press and our own disappointment with our owner, past coaches and teams has now caused us to doubt one who deserves better. he is the best chance we've had sense he left to make some noise.

Yep, I saw it too. It looked to me like ol' Lavar definitely wanted to say more, but wisely chose not to. From what he did say, it appeared that he sympathized with PR.

Do I trust Joe Gibbs to do what?

Do I trust him to try to win every game that he sends his players out on the field for? Yes I do. So do all the NFL coaches - past present and future.

Do I trust him to give the effort it takes to be a winning NFL coach? Yes I do.

Do I trust him to be bound by the parsing of each and every sentence he utters about the team and the players? Nope. And I wouldn't want him bound by that either.

Do I trust him to build a team that can win one year and then be solidly constructed for the future? Not really. Gibbs is a "win now" guy who probably figures that if the team has problems down the line he can figure out a way to fix them too.

Do I trust him to be sensitive to the feelings of his players? Not really - - unless they are bona fide STARS and have lots left in the tank so they can continue to be STARS. Know what? That's the way I'd handle the personalities and egos on an NFL team too.

Do I trust him?

Depends on what you mean...
