This is all a moot point anyway since it happened better than a year ago. I just voiced my opinion because I wholeheartedly disagree with the attitude of most Redskin fans, that Ramsey got a fair shake.

At the time I'm sure Gibbs thought Ramsey WAS his guy. Just because he realized Ramsey can't cut it and pulled him doesn't mean he lied. If Ramsey put up crappy numbers year after year should Gibbs keep sticking with him until they're both in the grave or fired simply because Gibbs once said "Ramsey, you're our guy"?
Fact is Ramsey got pulled from the Bears game for a number of reasons. A fumble and interception in the first quarter, one wildly high pass after another, and generally looking extremely unsettled and uncomfortable in the pocket. There's no arguing about all that - I watched the game last night and the camera doesn't lie.
I'm sure there were alot more reasons and misgivings that Gibbs had prior to that game too. It wasn't based on 10 odd minutes of crappy performance.
Having Brunell come in and manage the game like a pro didn't really help Ramsey either. The better QB got played, plain and simple.
