Ramsey wants to be traded (merged)

He's also set an ugly precedent. If Brunell has an inefficient game on Monday with a few ill-advised turnovers, is it even possible to re-insert Ramsey after the way he was pulled? Would the insertion of Campbell be "giving up" on the season? Would keeping Brunell in after a poor performance hurt the chemistry of the team given the recent move?

If Mark Brunell has a game like Sunday's - which projects to about 100 yards passing on 20 attempts with the team getting 4 FGs - what's the mood going to be like on the offense?

More importantly, what does Peter King think?!?!?

If Brunell stinks on Monday, or even if he just makes a few TOs, he won't get yanked. That's because he's always worked with a much longer leash from Joe than Ramsey was allowed. Don't ask me to explain why, because I can't fathom anything that Joe is doing lately. So, better get used to Brunell (TOs, weak arm and all), because he'll be in there unless he gets hurt. He was allowed a leash of 9 games last year before even Joe had to admit that things were so bad that a change was needed. Why should I believe it will be any different this year?
