I've gotta agree with the apology letter. I was at the Packers game and booed Brunell, but after reading the article about him, I wish I hadn't booed anybody. While I'm hoping Ramsey turns in a solid year for us, everything mentioned about Brunell's performance against Carolina gives me some peace about our qb "sitcheation."

I was impressed with what I saw of Mark during the game against us Saturday night. He is a veteran QB with a ton of skills, and even though he may have lost some of his touch, he still has what it takes to be a starter in the NFL, in my opinion. That being said, I doubt Gibbs will pull Ramsey without some pretty serious provocation to do so.
Congrats on the game Pantherfan. Your defense was aggressive and you guys know who your starting QB will be.......sigh! Good Luck this coming season.
Condolences on Sam Mills---a good guy with too short a life...........
P.S. why didn't you guys wait until the real season started to retire his jersey?

As much as I like Burnell as a person (good character guy) I thought his arm was spent and he was done. So I was surprsingly impressed to see some ole zip in his arm.
But it's too early to really assess the QBs......I want to see them play some more.

I did feel bad when I heard Brunnel talk about how he was getting booed with his kids in the stand... but thene again, he really sucked. bad.
I felt better when I remembered he could take his kids out to he ice cream store after the game and not have to worry about the money... or he could buy the ice cream store...
Mark looked like the guy we wanted last year in the first preseason game. He has to understand though that when you get paid like an elite player you have to play great. He didn't even play mediocore. Lets all hope he is back. (but remember that the guys reporting from camp have not been impressed)

I never dreamed I would read anything that sounded in the least bit positive about Brunell after the way he was so badly trashed for his performance last year. It just goes to show how you're only as good as your last play in the NFL. I said on more than one ocasion early in the off-season that all of what happened last year was not Brunell's fault,but a combination of things. It was vedry easy to make him the goat because many of us wanted Ramsey from the get-go.
If Ramsey plays poorly, he plays his way to the bench. If he plays great, we wont be able to afford him when his contract expires because someone will show him the money, and it will be far more than we will be able to invest in the QB position now that JC is aboard. If he dosen't improve his play sometime in the near future he's looking at a journeyman status to define his NFL career.

I don't think you guys remember Brunell's games last year...Ramsey couldn't do THAT bad if he tried.

He's making 43 million bucks. He SHOULD be able to throw the dang ball! We have nothing to apologize for.

True, there were a few of us who said that. But the reality is that the QB will always get more credit than he deserves when things are going well and more blame when they aren't. Brunell needed to step up this offseason and so far he has. Good for him. Good for all of us
