In terms of last night's game? Probably.
In terms of the season? I'm not sold quite yet.
For 56 minutes of that game, I was pretty sure Gibbs had made the wrong decision, and I'm almost certain even the most ardent Brunell supporters began to have their doubts, as well-- whether they'll admit it or not.
I'm not entirely sure that we've seen the last of Ramsey in a Skins uniform, either. If Brunell reverts to 2004 form and the Skins start losing, OR if Brunell goes down for any period of time, do you
really believe that Gibbs will put the fate of this team in the hands of a rookie, when he has an experienced, former starter on the bench?
NO. Explicit enough for you?
Perhaps we should let this season unfold just a bit further before we start thumping our chests and belittling those with the "audacity" to question a man whose offense-- outside of two single plays in about 2 minutes of one game-- has looked just south of ineffective.
**This in no way means that I'm rooting for Brunell to fail. I want the Redskins to win, and if Brunell is the starter, then he damn well better perform like one. Same goes equally for Ramsey or Campbell. That also means Gibbs has to call more shots like he did in the last 4 minutes of Monday's win.
As that game will tell you-- as if it isn't obvious-- it takes good playcalling AND good execution to win a football game. The Skins are lucky it only took about four minutes worth to beat the Cowboys.
