Whats On Gibbs Clipboard?

Maybe not but it did for Bruenell.

That had to do with Brunell being a veteran and being Gibbs' hand picked guy.

That' was also part of it but I wouldnt rule out the fact that MB was also religious and they prayed together.

He prayed with Ramsey too though.

"Mann said the coach did not directly impose his beliefs on others, pointing to players like John Riggins, a free spirit who rebelled against religion or any other form of authority, and Dexter Manley, who, it was later revealed, suffered from a serious drug problem."

"Quarterback Patrick Ramsey, who said he is a born-again Christian, said their shared evangelistic faith will give them "a chance of a deeper connection as we get to know each other." Ramsey is fighting Brunell for the starting job next season. Like Brunell, Ramsey said he has prayed with Gibbs over meals and talked about their mutual beliefs."

Maybe that caused Gibbs to hang on to PR too long who knows. But there is no way I can be convinced otherwise about MB.

As for anything having to do with how Gibbs handled Riggo and anyone else from that era, thats ancient history and Gibbs just isnt the same person he was back then.

Gibbs is religious and I think that has clouded his judgement toward certain players.


Based on what?

So what are you saying? Brunell prayed with Gibbs more times than Ramsey did? And this is why Gibbs picked Brunell?

Thanks for posting that article Tafkas. I hadn't seen it.

The argument about players getting special treatment from Gibbs because of their faith is stupid, tired and old. Again, this would not be an issue if we were winning.

The whole team has played badly this season, saints and sinners alike.

No. I'm saying because Gibbs prayed with MB he was not able to bench him when he should have. Its like in any job, the guys that play golf & cards with the boss are not usually the ones that get laid off.

Don't bother. He's already said he's not going to change his mind. Let him be happy believing Gibbs makes critical team decisions based on religion.
