I believe this because while Brunell played awesome in the beginning of the year...he has been at best mediocre in the second half of the season. I posted a comparison of some of Brunells key stats from the 1st 6 games vs the last 7 games...and it is obvious his performance has gone way down. Also part of this gut feeling i have comes from the fact that Brunell is on the down-side of his career wheras i believe that if Ramsey were given the opportunity he could improve greatly, learn to cut down on turnovers, and begin to realize the potential that i believe he has.
That of course is just my opinion on who would have been our best option at QB this season. And it is altogether a different question than the one of knowing whether Brunell should be benched in favor of Ramsey at this point in the season.
In my opinion Brunell should start the Dallas game...and if he really struggles...and either has a bunch of turnovers...or shows a complete inability to move the offense...and it becomes clear that we dont stand a good chance of winning the game with him then i would prefer to see Ramsey come in and attempt to lead us to victory...rather than just changing nothing...and losing.
We need to win this game. IF Brunell cant get it done...try Ramsey...thats my opinion.

Just a quick note. If we would have replaced Brunell in our last game with Dallas using your same criteria Ramsey would have been our QB in the last 4 minutes of the game. Would Ramsey have made those TD's and the crucial 1st down late in the game. I also think alot of Brunell's drops in numbers have been teams are just keying in on our real threats.
