QB controversey in 2005?

[celts32]

False...Campbell will not be ready to play and no one wants to see Brunell back in there. It's Ramseys team this year...

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I know that I may be reading way too much into it, but reading a couple different articles is suggesting to me Ramsey is fairly confident in next year.

[MTK]

Let's just hope Patrick plays as well as we think he can. If he does we won't have to worry about any QB controversey.

[ChounsMan]

I say YES, because Gibbs will allow Campbell to work with the 1st team in mini camp & during the preseason. Thus allowing the media to spin stories off left & right.

[Redskins8588]

No I do not believe that there will be a QB controversy this year, only because no matter what Gibbs doesnt really like to start rookies, not unless he has to. So I am pretty sure that Ramsey will have Gibbs full support and Ramsey will work out well for us. Also I am not sure if anyone else noticed but when I read articles about Ramsey he seems to have found his confidance(SP) which will be great because there is nothing worse than to have a QB that is always doubting himself...

I'm pretty sure I voted there will be when this first popped up but that was because I thought the question was about 2006. That is contingent on Ramsey's play this year as much as it is on the development of Cambell. If he makes similar strides this season like he did at the end of last year, this won't be that big of a deal other than possibly increasing his potential trade value. As others have pointed out, Ramsey is the chosen qb of another coaching shift, and u don't shell out as much as the skins did on Cambell for someone who is going to be a back-up. I wouldn't be suprised to see us trade Ramsey next year if Gibbs trusts Cambell enough, or a cheap, safe veteran qb comes in for one year. There r just too many variables right now to predict the outcome of this at this point. I kind of like the prospect of a young, semi-mobile qb in the mold of Doug Williams being the future qb of the franchise, but I can also live with a stronger armed, slightly more mobile version of Mark Rypien leading the team as well. I am now 100 times more eager to see how the qbs fare in training camp than I was this time last week.

as far as this year, we'll only see Ramsey and if absolutely need be Brunnel on the field this year except in preseason of course.

the press will push for one, but brunell is out and campbell is nowhere near ready and besides i think ramsey has got what it takes.touch, strong armed and never say die.
just aanother thing for the team to come together against the press about.

[dirtbag2112]

I had a dream last night that Mark Brunell had told Gibbs before the draft that he was going to retire after June and then volunteer at his Youth for Tomorrow program. Now I'm somewhat happy about drafting a QB in the 1st. Ramsey is still the man!!

[Red Robert]

Matty, this really has been one of the best threads in a while. I still say yes.

[JWsleep]

No. Brunnell will be the #2, Campbell will get very few snaps in practice this year. 2006, we'll see. But not this year. Believe it or not, I think Brunnell will be ok as the backup. I have absolutely no evidence for this, but there you go. Wishful thinking, I guess. No way Gibbs puts a rookie out there. No way.

[BrudLee]

I don't think there was a QB controversy last year. If anything, there was a coaching controversy - no one alive thought Brunell should be starting after week 6, except the coach. That didn't have me doubting Brunell, it had me wondering what Coach Gibbs was thinking.

There shouldn't be a controversy this year. The only question is whether Brunell will get cut/traded once Campbell gets into camp.

[BossHog]

QB controversies aren't bad unless you have a quick-hook coach like Spurrier.

[aprius]

2007 is the year for controversy....Gibbs wont let campbell play for 2 years

[wolfeskins]

if ramsey struggles even a little bit against the opposing teams 1st string defense during pre-season and campbell plays well against thier 3rd or 4th string , then unfortunately some people will want campbell to be the starter.
