Gibbs places great value on QB depth, always has and always will.
Gibbs knows that Ramsey did a solid job at the end of last year and based on that, he gave him the starting job. It wasn't Gibbs' fault that PR did nothing during the offseason and preseason to show that he had solidified himself as the unquestioned starter. Patrick left the door cracked open, and the injury against the Bears was the convenient excuse to make the switch.
Sure Patrick scoffed initially, but since then he's played the good soldier routine to a T. Deep down he has to know he wasn't ready to lead the offense the way Brunell has. Hopefully he's learned some valuable lessons this year and will be ready to step up his game when called upon again.
He still has a year left on his deal, I don't see us trading him for anything less than a 2nd rounder or a package deal for a top flight DE.

In absolutely no way are we keeping both of those guys. What a waste. Now if you are talking about letting Brunell go after this season, since he has not produced a winning season in two years, then that is a different story. But I think by Gibbs benching Ramsey only 1/2 a quarter into the first game, and using a #1 pick on a QB that Ramsey's time in Washington is numbered. If Gibbs had any confidence in him he would not have drafted Campbell. Draft picks are so precious now with there only being 7 rounds, that I dont think they would have wasted essentially 3 picks(trading a 1st and 4th to get a 1st last year) on a QB and have him competing with another #1 pick for a starting job.
