Go ahead and keep on blaming Gibbs and Brunell. The truth is it is ultimatley Ramsey fault for not improving his game.

why won't ANYBODY hold Brunell accountable for being the worst QB in the league last year? and why did everyone FORGET that Ramsey WON games with the exact same *bad* offense? these are regular season games, is it ok to base your decisions on regular season games? you guys would rather choose based on second halves of preseason games with and against 2nd stringers versus what happened the ENTIRE 2004 SEASON?
Brunell himself says there was NO injury, says his arm ISN'T any stronger than last year (go ahead ask me for the quotes), and i'm fairly certain he didn't get any younger. he sure looked good in practice against friends or the second half in those preseason games though didn't he?
would YOU base your decisions on that and just ignore last season (or Brunell's own comments) or do you all just have blind faith in Joe Gibbs? if so, THATS FINE, BUT SAY SO. don't ever say Brunell "outplayed" Ramsey in any game that counted, because he *never has*.
and before anybody in the blind faith category tries to say last season doesn't matter (but the 80s somehow does), i think there's an established consensus that Gibbs was wrong about Brunell before. if you need proof of his fallibility just look to last season.
Coach Gibbs is and will be the best coach the Skins have ever had , but you can't expect it to be instant or that what he knew from the past applies perfectly to today. it will take time.
