I'm with skinsguy, I think Brunell is the better choice when both are healthy. But I was very pleased with Ramsey.

Manage the game? Any QB has to manage a game, it was Ramseys arm that opened things back up for us, not Portis's legs, it was his playmaking ability that kept the Giants in the rearview, pass to betts, then Moss.
That Giant defense today recieved a heavy dose of old school Gibbs football, Portis was ripping off runs at 10 a clip in the 4th quarter because we beat them down all game, as good as that defense is, and they are very good, they were done by the 4th quarter, you could see it in their faces after the first drive of the game they knew they were in trouble.
Pretty nice offensive display considering I believe that Moss is the only WR to catch a pass?
Kudos to Ramsey, that's no easy task to sit the bench all season to come into a game of that magnitude and perform as he did against a very good D, not that I had any doubts, he would have been doing it all year with playing time, I was very excited to see Ramsey come in, I was very glad that Gibbs didn't go into an offensive conservative shell once Ramsey came on. One thing I noticed about Ramsey is the confidence he seems to have to know the offense, he does not look intimidated at all, great job!
I still think this is Brunells season, and if healthy he should, and will finish it, but today was only a glimpse of what Patrick has in store for some team next year, I would really hope it's us who are the benefactors.
