I'm voting NOT for 2005, but I think there will be on in 2006. Either Ramsey will or will not get it done this year and that will leave us looking at other options. Gibbs has said it's Ramsey's year this year, so I think he will stand by that.

I think 2006 will be a VERY different story.

Red Robert · 04-26-2005, 05:26 PM

Wow good poll I think, I vote yes. Redskins fans by nature expect more from their team. If Ramsey starts off well and the Redskins stay in the hunt this is less likely. However I think the first time Ramsey throws an interception or two the Campbell chants will start. We have seen the same thing so many times in the past it is hard to believe it wont happen again.

Red Robert · 04-26-2005, 05:27 PM

Malcolm this is one of the few times I have ever disagreed with one of your takes...!!

Brunell vs. Ramsey
Even HASSELBECK.

Johnson vs. George

Schrader vs. Williams

Schuler vs. MY MOTHER IN LAW

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-26-2005, 05:31 PM

The main reason I stick behind this opinion is because Gibbs left Brunell in it until the bitter end. ALSO, in camp, Gibbs said it would be an open competition with Brunell and Ramsey, this year he said it is Ramsey's year.

Unless Ramsey really stinks up FedEx, there will be no controversy next year!

Red Robert · 04-26-2005, 05:34 PM

I feel you, Gibbs is known as a man of his word but he also must have a lot of faith in Campbell to take the risk on him. I really think if we are 2-6 by midseason we will see a switch. Would you make a switch? At what point?

jdlea · 04-26-2005, 05:35 PM

My gut says there will be and that's all I'm going on from now on.

RedskinRat · 04-26-2005, 05:42 PM

I agree with Malcolm Connection. If Ramsey slips this season then it's be civil war at Redskins park pre 2006 season.

I don't see Ramsey failing this year. He'll be fine.

joethiesmanfan · 04-26-2005, 05:51 PM

now if ramsey gets hurt people are gonna have to tie brunnell down to keep gibbs from putting him in the game then it will be a QB controversy. i dont ever ever ever ever ever wanna see brunnell on the field with a Redskins jersey on and the ball in his hands not even holding for kicks. if Ramsey does not get hurt its sink or swim with Ramsey evaluate after the season no excuses.

Redskins_P · 04-26-2005, 05:52 PM

I said No, but that just because I don't want one.

CROOKEDSKINS · 04-26-2005, 05:53 PM

I voted no.I think Ramsey will start the season and have a solid year.
Its nice to see in the interviews hes had that he says that this is his team and hes the starter.Maybe if he would have done this last year we wouldnt have had to go through 9 weeks of hell.

BDBohnzie · 04-26-2005, 05:56 PM

Ramsey is going in as #1, so there is no controversy. He will start the season as #1, take all the 1st team reps in camp, etc.

if he does poorly, it wont cause a controversy to bring in Brunell...because it is expected.

Grayacre · 04-26-2005, 05:58 PM

There won't be a controversy b/c it's quite clear already that Gibbs will pull the rug out from under Ramsey at the first opportunity. Campbell is just the latest manifestation of Gibbs' total lack of confidence in Ramsey. It's a shame, really ...

memphisskin · 04-26-2005, 06:06 PM

Unfortunately yes. If Ramsey or the offense struggles this year, there will be clamors from many to see the rookie in there. Of course, rookie qbs normally lose (the exception that proves the rule-Roethlisburger). I'd rather see Campbell come in and learn the offense and the team before he hits the field, but this is the NFL so I'm sure he'll get an opportunity sooner rather than later, which does not bode well for us because that will mean that Ramsey is either struggling or hurt.
