I would blame Brunell if he was the main problem, but he's not. He's part of the problem, but he's not the only one. It's not one or two things wrong right now, to say so is really oversimplifying things.
The O-line, Portis, the WR's dropping balls and not running precise routes, the playcalling, the system, etc. are all problems that need correcting and tweaking and it won't matter a damn bit who's behind center as long as these problems exist.
Ramsey isn't a quick fix, far from it.

You know Matty I have to go with RF on this one, reason? I can't believe that our O-line is this bad, I just can't believe it, Doc walker has the opportunity to watch the game in person, he is able to see the field much better than those of us who don't have that opportunity, I am not saying our line can rival the hog's in any way, but I just can't believe that they are that bad, I just don't think defenses worry one bit about Brunell's passing ability, basically I think he hit the nail on the head, we only throw to back's, and end's, because Brunnel can't make the other throw's, let's face it, his bomb's to Gardner in the cowboy game were jump ball's, won by gardner making a spectacular catch, Ramsey will without a doubt will have growing pain's, and until he start's burning the D, and proves he can throw the ball down field, they will probably approach him the same way they approach Brunell, but I think that will be short lived, let's face it Brunell is going backwards in his progression as a QB in this offense, Ramsey will do nothind but go forward, I was never big on Brunell, even when he was putting up the number's in Jacks., I just didn't see him as a passer, he was more of a playmaker, and those guy's are usually shut down by a good defense, which is what you usually see in the playoff's, with his mobility on it's way out, I believe we are now seeing Brunell the thrower, and it's pretty ugly.
Gibb's has to swallow his pride right now, and make the switch, he's been out of the game for a long time, I don't think he really new enough about Brunell, he made a stat's decision, without really looking at how this guy has succeeded in the league the last decade, Brunell is nothing without his leg's, and he is no longer capable of running all over the field. He may not be the complete problem I agree, but we have to take into account that the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone, and so on and so forth, the change has to be made, and made now, but I don't think Gibb's will make the switch, until the season is basically over for us.
