Absolutly! Just because we beat Dallas with Brunell doesn't mean we wouldn't have with Ramsey, or more convincingly with Ramsey as well, the problem with that question is this, it's predicated on Brunell actually beating Dallas. So I will ask this question for all the Brunell/ Gibbs lovers out there, if Dallas beats us monday night will you say Ramsey got the short end of the stick on this one? And will further it 1 more, if Brunell turns the ball over in the first quarter will you call for an immediate QB change? |

Basically, it boils down to this. The people that want Brunell to start aren't really endorsing Brunell as much as they aren't that confident in Ramsey's ability to be the team's undisputed starting QB and get tangible results. I think that's one side of it. The people that want Ramsey, (not putting words in anyone's mouth, just the general feeling I've gotten from reading and posting myself) feel it's more about what "Gibbs said he would do", and giving Patrick the same shot as he gave Brunell. Ramsey supporters feel that it's more of a loyalty issue at stake here. Both sides have their merits, but at the end of the day we really aren't Ramsey or Brunell fans, we really Redskins fans! |

Re: Brunell Starting
Please explain 'handicapped preseason'?
Wasn't Ramsey working with the Starters? |

Re: Brunell Starting
I'm also including the team prep work. Ramsey was training and playing with the firts stringers all training camp and pre-season.
There has to be more to Ramsey's percieved failure than what the fans are seeing. |

Re: Brunell Starting
Brunell is one of the most accurate passers in NFL history he was the main reason Jacksonville was any good for years. From what I saw in preseason he is moving better and delivering good balls. This leads me to believe that his injury was affecting him. He might not be as mobile as he once was but he is smarter and will not throw the picks Ramsey seems prone too. Gibbs got him for a reason he believes he is best fit for offense unfortunatly with his injury and not having all the Gibbs guys in there yet was tough. Had alot of Spurrier guys leave and Gibbs brought in his guys this offseason. So I say give the man who has brought us three super bowls run the team until proved otherwise I trust he knows what he is doing.

I just don't see why gibbs spent 7 months promoting ramsey every chance he got and naming him the unquestioned starter when he didn't have to. Yet he seems so insasnely loyal to brunell and goes to press conferences ssaying he fights his guts out etc. brunell might be the best choice for now, but this whole QB situation has been handled very poorly. |

Re: Brunell Starting
I don't care if Gibbs was loyal or not in todays NFL no team is loyal to any player and few players are loyal to teams. Players go where they can get money and teams will dump players who have been the cornerstone of there team because of money. Gibbs learned in the offseason when Pierce and Smoot left that you can't pay everyone and players are not loyal enough to stay. Loyalty will lose you games he was loyal last year to Brunell and it was a mistake. Gibbs rarly makes mistakes twice he will not be to loyal to someone he does not see performing in a way to benifit the team. I mean one fumble and Brown was not only benched but was cut. I liked Ramsey I bought my girl a ramsey jersey. I wanna win and I think with our defense and running game Brunnell if healthy will be smart and not force balls. Ramsey trusted his ability to much at times. But hopefully we will all see Gibbs is right cause that means we are winning.

brunell has probably played better, but it wouldn't have been hard to avoid a lot of this. |

Re: Brunell Starting
Well i think he knew Ramsey was not very confident and he wanted him to feel reassured. He said Ramsey would start but he also said he is in business of winning games said this many times. And he will do whatever is necessary in his mind to take us back to the top but we will see if it works
