500 Posts. Don't ask me anything about the Redskins or Gibbs.
I admit I have gotten bent out of shape over a few threads on last night's game.

1. everyone clearly over-estimated Gibbs' impact
Unlike Vermeil and Parcells, Gibbs was nowhere near football for many year prior to his return. It's going to take a while.

5. The problem wasn't Spurrier
The problem was an owner insisting on overpaying a few players instead of building any kind of overall team depth. That's the only true impact Gibbs will have - he'll be able to wrestle that power away from Snyder.

6. Spurrier's system doesn't work in the NFL.
No run game too many WR's.

9. Not true at all
Florida always had a very strong running game under Steve Spurrier. It doesn't get attention because of his flashy passing game, but it was always among the best in the country.

10. Why did Stephan Davis get released?eom
Spurriers scheme is not well suited to the speed of defenses in the NFL. We could go on like this forever---this was suppose to be my---I'm sorry for being a jackass thread.

11. Stephen Davis wasn't the right type of back.
However, toss a guy like Deuce McAllister, Edgerrin James, or Marshall Faulk in that offense and it'd purr.
