Your really contradicting yourself, you say Gibbs is going to make changes and he'll be darned if he waits 5,6,or 9, games, who are you trying to kid here, he waited not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8, but 9 games before he replaced Brunell last season, who played the position as bad as I have ever seen.

The rest of your statements are all over the place I really don't know were to begin but I will try.

You stated that our offense is in constant flux and that all players should be afforded the same opportunity as Ramsey? Then you say we all can agree on the fact that he's had more than 19 minutes to prove himself, was he playing a pickup game in the parking lot I missed? What is it about the comparison between a KR and a QB you don't understand? Why is the QB the highest paid player in the league, and kick returners on the bottom of the food chain? Could it be becuase it's the most difficult position on the field and takes the longest to learn, it's taken some of the great QB's 3 years to develope in the same system playing every game, not 6 or 7 quarters in the pre-season.

Give me your reasons for say a player like Antonio Brown and how you believe his growth is stunted on special's. Because I know I can give you a 100 reason's and example after example, on why a QB need's time to develope, SIR!

I won't defend my response point for point - take from it what you may. That's fine.

When I said Ramsey had more than 19 minutes to prove himself, obviously I was talking about more than just those 19 minutes. Ramsey has been with the Redskins for a few seasons now, entering his second with coach Gibbs. I think that certainly counts for more than 19 minutes of play.

One guy turned the ball over and cost us points as did the other.
The score was 9-7. The Bears got a TD off Browns fumble. They made the extra point. TD + Extra Point = 7 points. I fail to see how Ramsey gave them any points.

And the only other regular season games he played in under Gibbs were last season. Last year, his winning percentage in games he started was better than Brunell's. Ramsey 3-4 (43%), Brunell 3-6 (33%).

In the final analysis, winning games is the ONLY thing that really matters.

You can absoultly compare Brown and Ramsey. You can't have drastically different standards for players on the team. One guy turned the ball over and cost us points as did the other. Whether one is a 4th year QB or a 2nd year kick returner doesn't matter. The message has been sent. DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER! If you say that and then ignore it in certain cases it can be a big morale killer. A good example is Nemo. Nemo looked like a beast in pre-season. He was pretty much heralded all over this board. We thought he'd make the team and play. Everyone was worried he'd take Rocks spot because he outplayed him a bit. But he couldn't control the ball much in preseason either and in the end he made the team but Nemo was inactive in game one. Message: DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER! Even in preseason.

every coach in the league has different rules for different players... LT could smoke crack and parcells wouldn't care, other rookies would be off the team for sleeping in a meeting.

Ramsey's last fumble cost us the chance to at least kick a fieldgoal therefore most likely denying us points.

So that makes it right? Maybe Joe doesn't look at it that way.

Oh, Joe looks at it that way alright. John Riggins was a BIG partier, Joe accepted it even though he didn't like it. Sean Taylor runs around with criminals and has pending felony charges, but beleive me, Joe ain't cuttin Mr. Taylor. It just depends on who you are, different rules for different people. Joe likes Brunnell, a veteran, whom he paid big bucks to, so Brunnell plays by a different set of rules than Ramsey does. If you don't believe it, wait until Brunnell has 2 turnovers in one game, I bet he stays in the game and isn't yanked.

I think the point being missed is this:

Ramsey had 3 turnovers in 3 possesions and hasn't looked any better, this presason or any of the last 3 years, than his first snap in the NFL.

Like several others on this forum, I like Ramsey and want it to work out for him, but I tell my employees something all the time: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity, not loyalty. Nothing Ramsey has done with this team, in the length of his career here, has pointed to him doing anything different than being sub-par and turning the ball over.

I hope everything works out, but I am not going to thrash Gibbs over the decision.

I think it's ironic that we were calling for Mark Brunell to be benched in week 2 last season because of his poor play in week 1 against the Bucs, even with the win. Now Gibbs makes the tough call and we're calling for his (Gibbs) head.

Here's how it breaks down. I don't like the decision, because last year Ramsey lead our team to a few wins and some great games against the best teams in the leage, even with the outdated offensive schemes and players that brunell got killed with. Fuck the first half of the first game of this year. Mark Brunell has done nothing outside of the preseason to earn any merit from anyone on the Redskins. Hell I could go out there and just not turn the ball over. I could throw it out of bounds and at the ground in front of my feet and finish the game with not TO's but no offense either.

I think this article is BS because it implies that if you don't agree with the decision being made, or even question it, then you are ignorant of facts... but then it gives no real facts. This asshole got bought out by the skins and is spreading propaganda to sway public opinion. Do you think they would've posted an article asking if JG had lost his freaking mind on Redskins.com?

I'm not saying that's how I feel, but don't go on my teams website and act like you know some shit by a feeble attempt at alienation to those who oppose a particular decision.

btw...art of recieving....






thats the second coolest name on the warpath lol
