Well I'll say this about the Ramsey and Brunell thing...
First Ramsey is from Tulane..right down the street from where I was raised so I like the guy anyway...but he has proven not to be the answer so to speak. Truly he has never really been given a chance to lead the team take his lumps for a whole year or two, learn a system with the same coach and then see where he was. Brunell is not getting any younger so if we don't get someone who can be with us for a while and produce we are going to continue to have trouble. We have an owner who is not very patient and he truly is the cause of some of this. The Redskins have not had a consistent QB since Joe Theismann went down...you know with teams like the Packers (for now) you know Brett is your guy every year...even the Texans have Carr every year...we have not had that and that a big part of the problem.

Then what's frustrating for me as a long time skins fan is everytime one coach realizes he needs a QB the coach leave and the situation starts all over.
Look when Norv came we started rebuilding...Shuler and Ferrotte were not the answer a blind man could see that. Ferrotte beat out Shuler I could have done that and I've never played organized ball. When Turner got sick of Gus here comes Trent Green...(gee isn't he with stable team now?) We should have kept him....Then the ownership change...which was another issue....Turner got to stay and in 1999 brought in Johnson...that was great...then Synder and his high price vets including Jeff George screwed everything up...so Johnson leaves and George is a head case....Finaly Marty cuts him George, has Banks finish the season and I'm sure he would have gotten a QB, but Snyder fires him after he's won 8 of 11 games with Tony Banks of all people. Then Spurrier comes in new scheme and philosopy and after giving is old QB Danny Wurffel a shot decides to get Patrick in....we see the product of all these changes and Patrick still has not developed yet...no real opportunity...then the legend returns trying to win now sticks with an injured Brunell until it's too late to make a playoff push and goes to Ramsey...good. Then he's benched after about a quarter in favor of Brunell still trying to win NOW. So Brunell will be fine I love the guy but if he gets hurt we are back in the same position again. And Campbell will also take time to develop..so unless we turn this around now (this season or next season if Joe stays) or unless Campbell just comes in throwing strikes I'm afraid it still may get worse before it gets better unless someone in the front office wakes up and gets things together. Then they have to do it fast because Gibbs may have one more year he'll work his contract, maybe two before we have a new coach, new system and everything else and if Dan Synder doesn't like the results of the new administration he'll fire them or interfer too much...more inconsistency and changes and we still don't have a playoff spot much less a superbowl appreance.
