Ramsey. But I don't think it will happen. Gibbs just won't do it unless Brunell physically can't play... well, okay, so Brunell physically can't play already, but Gibbs isn't going to pull the switch right after steadfastly reiterating his conviction that Brunell is not the problem. It's not because Gibbs thinks Ramsey can't play any better, but he simply thinks it would be wrong to replace Mark when he feels that Mark is not the source of the problems with the passing game.

I firmly believe, however, that Brunell is indeed the problem with the passing game, and he has done nothing to convince me otherwise all season.

While Ramsey may not set the world on fire immediately, and he will likely make some mistakes, he simply has the ability to move this offense much more effectively than Brunell. The productivity and points that Ramsey would generate as quarterback outweigh any potential mistakes. This team was very close to being 1-5 today, and the primary reason would have been Brunell's inability to generate any kind of consistent passing game. The outstanding defensive effort saved Brunell's butt today.
