Here's what I think about all this hypocrisy talk:

Gibbs named PR the starter in the offseason so he'd gain confidence, work hard all offseason, and not be looking over his shoulder. How did he respond? With happy feet, bad reads, and turnovers. He also had trouble hitting the deep ball--I mean hitting WRs in stride down the field. His WRs made some nice plays coming back to the ball and with RAC, mostly. He held the ball too long and took sacks at bad times. And he NEVER LOOKED COMFORTABLE. I was a PR supporter, but I saw that and hoped it would change. It certainly hadn't in quarter #1 AT HOME AGAINST THE WEAK ASS BEARS. When was it going to happen, in Dallas? Denver? When?

Gibbs gave the guy six months as the starter--but he didn't look like it in practice, in scrimmages, in preseason games, and last sunday. Meanwhile, Brunnell looked like a different guy--we all saw that as well. THis isn't the first time a "bench Ramsey, Play Brunnell" discussion has gone on here, folks. So Gibbs re-evaluated the situation after the game, took everything into account, and made the switch. Is that hypocrisy?

No one in the NFL is guaranteed anything. Sure, if you're Peyton Manning or Donovan or someone, you'll get the benefit of the doubt. But PR has not earned that respect. He's been given lots of chances, IMO, and never stepped up. Y'all want to say that's Gibbs fault--but PR played his role in this too. Go back and look at his posture in the pocket on Sunday. Was he confortable? And check out his long incomplete pass to Cooley: One, it was overthrown; Two, Sanatana Moss had blown by single coverage on the otherside, and Ramsey NEVER SAW HIM! And, finally, check out the INT. What the F*** happens on that play? Is that Gibbs being a hypocrite? Or is that PR throwing away his chance to start?

One last point: Are you all really mad that Gibbs pulled Ramsey, and allegendly went back on his word, or are you just mad because you think Brunnell sucks? My guess is that you are mad becuase you HATE Brunnell after last year. I have sympathy with that, but thats a completely different point. It might make Gibbs dumb to play Brunnell, but it doesn't make him a hypocrite.

Gibbs said NO TURNOVERS. What did PR do after that was said? That was fair warning.
