The decision to start Brunell looked brilliant for a couple games, and it still could turn out that way. However, if we finish 8-8 or 7-9, I think Coach Gibbs will deserve some flack for benching Ramsey and anointing Brunell the starter, especially because it will mean being back at square one when it comes to the QB position.

I think you're a little to late on the argument of Joe Gibbs' signing of Brunell. Mark has more than proven himself a leader and a very good quarterback for us. Even alot of the doubters of Mark Brunell changed their tune. Mark has played great for us since the Dallas game. One or two weak games from him is by no means grounds to bench the guy.
I don't think Gibbs will deserve flack at all if we finish higher than what we did a year ago. The offense has improved dramatically from a year ago, but the defense hasn't. That isn't a direct reflection on Joe Gibbs and Mark Brunell. If anything, other than the team giving the ball up way too much, Gibbs has done his job in getting this offense competitive and able to score more than a TD a game (minus game one and yesterday's game.)
You just have to be patient. This team has been a loser since he left the first time. A tweak here and there can do wonders for this team. We're extremely close in being a "Joe Gibbs" team that finds a way to win Sunday in and Sunday out. We all want to win now. Haven't we learned our lesson with how that normally goes?
