Call me crazy but I don't think we're far from turning this thing around. I think guys are pressing a bit right now. They're not 100% comfortable in the offensive system and they're thinking too much about assignments/responsibilities and not just playing football.

The first quarter of the season is over and I know 1-3 isn't pretty, but, we still have 3/4 of the season to go. If we can improve just one game per quarter we can finish still finish 10-6. There's still alot of ball to be played, and alot of room for improvement.

Cutting or benching guys and flip flopping starting QB's isn't the answer and Gibbs isn't going to panic and pull crap like this, so let's just forget about that nonsense and worry about the team mastering the system and improving the best they can week to week.
It's no secret I am high on Ramsey, I also know that unless Brunell get's hurt, Ramsey won't see the field, the problem I have is, Ramsey has the least amount of expierence, and the least amount of work in this new system, 1 that a seasoned veteran like Brunell is having difficulties mastering, and he's judged more critically than Brunell, I also know bringing in Ramsey now doesn't mean instant victory for us, he will have to go through the same growing pain's as Brunell, but he showed us against the Giant's that he can get the ball up and down the field in a hurry, yes he may make a mistake here or there, he's young, but he also gives us a better opportunity to score point's, Brunell was brought here for his expierence, but he's really just like a rookie out there because of the fact he has to learn a whole new system, I think the learning curve would be the same for Ramsey, and Ramsey's upside is much greater than Brunell's, Brunell was alway's a good playmaker, I never looked at him as a great passer, and with his leg's giving way to age, his playmaking abilities are on the way down, will he get better than he is now? Yes, but is he worth the effort at his age? Not considering he's 1 and 3 so far, I thought that was why we brought him here, to step in and win immediatly? With that said, I don't see any reason why this team won't, or can't, turn this thing around quickly, we have to much talent.
