The Redskins may make the playoffs this year, and they may not. But, let me say this to both the believers and the non-believers: Don't EVER, EVER, EVER, write Joe Gibbs off!!

All you have to do is look at his record over his career for the month of December!!

Please, don't EVER write him off! He'll have the final say in this whole thing!! Mark my words!!!!
Sit back and watch the Redskins.

SOMETHING MAGICAL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

I just have one thing to say about Joe Gibbs... and I don't care what any of you fools have to say... ... ... Gibbs can spit with the best of em'. :lol:

Gotta love the man. John Madden said it best... when it comes to big games, wouldn't want any other coach other than Gibbs.

Repeated for emphasis.

Greatest coaches since 1950:

- Paul Brown

- Vince Lombardi

- Joe Gibbs

(in no order)

Close, but but quite:

- Jim Lee Howell (trained Lombardi and Landry, but also Allie Sherman)

- Bill Walsh (Brown did it all twenty years earlier...does anyone think the Walsh '49ers could have stood up to Otto Graham, Marion Motley, and Paul Bown's teams???)

- Don Shula: gets credit for winning championships with both the Colts and Dolhins...but subtract Unitas and Griese and???

The BEST tribute to the inspiration provided by Joe was quoted by the PLATERS themselves during the interviews aired in the game last night.

They LOVE playing their guts for the man. It is an honour to stand with you brothers :up:

JC's first starts accounted for that one 2006 aberration. The graphic they showed last night didn't take that into account.

I know. I didnt want anyone to think we were bending the stats. It also shows that Gibbs will take loses...forget his record and his so-called legacy...to train the young QB who will lead the Skins in the future.

Integrity.

OK...(since I've found a spare keyboard and wheee I can add some old-time perspective), about twenty years ago I was explaining the Redskins world to Dan, my son.

This is the time, I said, when a sports figure really should be a hero...look at Joe Gibbs. See what he does. If you want a sports model, forget Darryl Strawberry and think about Joe Gibbs. He's a hero.

I think what Madden meant was........that he also would have made that C. Bailey trade for C. Portis.... just like the Skins did, if he (Madden) was coach here in DC.... that's how I took it.....

I think an all star Rb is worth a shutdown corner.

Here is the thing though. We gave up a draft pick and CB for Portis. It was not straight up. That is what had the Skins nation wondering.

I think Clinton Portis is twice the player that Bailey was.

Did Bailey ever make anyone forget Darrell Green?

Smoot and Springs look pretty good. Add a third CB, and Rogers might grow into that third guy, and what's the big deal about Bailey?

Oh..."grow into"...Darrell Green got beat a lot during his first three or four years. He learned the positioned, learned not to rely only on his comeback speed, and then QB's threw away from him.

Skill.

I wasn't around to watch Bailey play( wasn't in the area, kinda busy with OIF/deployments/ect) so I never had the benefit of watching him play. I do recall that the majority here said that they wanted to keep Bailey over getting CP. He did say that he would trade away Bailey for Portis, to clarify. The people I've talked to that were around for the CB era have said that he is the reason Smoot did as well as he did the 1st time around; b/c QBs didn't want to throw to his side of the field, giving Smoot more opportunities....

It takes a longer perspective. Green was -- probably still could be -- twice the player that Bailey was. Green and AJ Johnson were better than Bailey and Smoot. Green and Barry Wilburn (and Brian Davis as third CB) were better than Bailey and anybody. Going farther back, Pat Fischer and Mike Bass made QB's afraid to throw.

Bailey was good, but not in a class with Green, Fischer, or Mike Bass.

How do I know? I watched them all.

(If anybody wants to "play stats", then go count the Redskin wins.)

I think it's more accurate to say that Pat Fischer and Mike Bass made Receivers afraid to catch... because it WAS going to HURT...

To say that most wanted to keep Bailey ignores the fact that he was a free agent, and WAS leaving... that was pretty clear. It was a matter of making a trade, and getting something... or not making a trade, and ending up with nothing... I think we ended up doing ok...

Beyond that, to say that most wanted to keep Bailey ignores the fact that he was a free agent, and WAS leaving... he had made that clear. It was a matter of getting as much as possible in that light.
Exactly!

He has done a good job of holding things together under dire circumstances so I'm glad he's still the coach. In fact, I hope he gets an extension even though I've been upset at the play (and play-calling) at times this year. With a lot of other coaches, the season would have completely unraveled (imo).

Yes...to be more precise about it. Although Bass had a knack for floating to interceptions at important times. Ahhh, to see Plaxico Burress touch a ball near Pat Fischer...

Seeing that this thread has gotten a bit off topic, I'll chime in. Obviously I WAS a bigtime Bailey guy. I was leary of the trade, especially giving a pick. Straight up, I was good with it. Anyway...after having Portis here, I couldn't be happier that Bailey got the boot and we got Portis. What a man! I'm not even referring to his running either...that kid can BLOCK!

I also know that Bailey was NOT of the Green Caliber. He was good, but no D.G. Apparently, I just picked a bad unsername. So I then had NC43 throw in the pick of S. Taylor, my new favorite player. R.I.P HTTR

Harold Charmichael had a thing or two to say about that... as I recall, it was not among his favorite situations... :twisted:
