Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Do you support Gibbs' decision to start Brunell? (Merged)

My thoughts of Brunell last year were based on incomplete info. I was not aware that he had a bad hamstring during and after the Giants game. Which by the way was when he really started stinking up the joint. That is where Gibbs truly made a really bad coaching decision, not pulling him for Ramsey. I believe Gibbs doesn't trust Ramsey. I also truly believe he wanted Ramsey to be the QB of the future and move on to other challenges. I don't get to see practice everyday like some of the experts do on this forum, so I can only base my observations on the preseason, which is practice with officials. I saw a gunslinger that makes poor decision at the wrong times. Cannot throw a touch pass and will almost always fumble or throw an interception once in the red zone. Our offense at the moment is not good enough to make mistakes in the red zone. Brunell threw the ball with more zip this preseason and moved pretty well in the pocket. Chances are neither of these two will take us to the superbowl, but our best shot is with Brunell.

To answer the question, I say yes!

In Gibbs I Trust!!!!
