Okay, if everyone is so Ramsey afraid is gonna fumble or throw the game away with INT's we will never have to worry about that with Brunell. Because if we ever face a team who puts up 21 points we won't be in the damn game. That's fine though, it's the reason the Redskins are a losing franchise now. Everyone wants to "win now." Problem is with Brunell, we're not gonna win. If Brunell plays the way he did this week against Dallas and Dallas's O plays anywhere near the level they did we're gonna get torched. I would rather Ramsey come in and throw 20 picks on downfield balls then watch Brunell get off of the pocket and throw the ball out of bounds on third downs.

I'll agree, the pick Ramsey threw was horrendous. The sack that forced the first fumble was probably his fault, but we got it back. The last sack that he lost was all the offensive line's fault. He didn't even finish his drop before his head got taken off. I don't wanna hear, oh Jansen's thumb, to hell with that. They got Ramsey killed. He didn't have time to get out of the way, the same damn thing would have happened to Brunell, but they didn't pressure Brunell. And they didn't need to. The reason I don't like Brunell? He was on pace to throw for about 120 yards on the day. That is terrible.

Next week we get Dallas and Demarcus Ware who looks like a beast. He's gonna eat up which ever QB we have in so I don't know how much I care who starts. I know one thing, if Brunell starts, they won't win. Just like last year when he started on Monday Night and everyone wanted to swear up and down that it wasn't his fault the Skins lost the game, but hey, he looked good against a whole bunch of guys who don't even play football now in the preseason...and he got hurt last year, so he never really got a fair shake. When does Patrick get a fair shake? When he leaves town? We can start Brunell and have the exact same year as last year or we could take a chance on Ramsey and see if maybe we can stop drafting in the top 10.

Bottom line: There's more potential to build a winning team with Ramsey, but nobody cares because Brunell doesn't make mistakes. Know what else he doesn't make? Any big plays. Does anyone remember last year? We looked exactly the same Sunday when Brunell was in. If that's what Joe Gibbs is looking for in a QB he needs go back into retirement because he's never gonna win again.
