Saying I trust Gibbs isn't a cop-out, it's my true feeling on the matter. I trust the current setup we have MUCH more than anything we've had in recent years. There's a sense of stability and direction that we've sorely lacked, I'm sure even you can agree. That's what I trust, I trust that his moves and decisions are being made in the best interest of the team, and that he's not making moves or decisions based on personal biases as some have ridiculously suggested. You'll never see me with the same opinions that I had when Spurrier was here simply because he was a buffoon and Gibbs is a Hall of Fame coach -- there's no comparing the two. It's like saying who do you trust more to run your business, Ronald McDonald or Donald Trump?
I don't think that he is infallible or incapable of making an error, I've said many times that our personnel moves for the most part have been more good than bad. If I blindly supported him I wouldn't acknowledge he's made any wrong decisions at all. He has made some bad moves, I've said our drafts have been weak, especially the later round selections.
What I have a problem with is people who constantly pick and fuss over every single little thing,
especially after a loss. Some people are curiously quiet after wins, but only come out after a loss. That's what is boring and predictable to me.
After a win we never hear people criticize the Portis deal, or how much Arrington and Samuels are making. But after a loss... watch out, all of a sudden the sky is falling and every mistake the team has made over the past decade is held under the microscope. Again, boring and predictable.
