I see it as Brunell laying the foundation for Ramsey. In a year or so Ramsey will step into a polished offense.
I think Ramsey has a very bright future, but I don't think he would be a better choice than Brunell right now. I don't think Brunell is the one costing us the games

Consider this. Brunell was sacked five times on Monday night. No sacks on Sunday. No turnovers since the Giants game. 322 total yds in offense against the Giants, 325 yds in offense against Dallas. 287 yds against the Browns.
Smoot, Gibbs did anticipate that the offense was going to struggle from the jump. But it is the offense as a whole that is struggling. If Brunell was still turning the ball over and fumbling I could understand the sentiment. But Brunell isn't hurting this team. He's progressing as the team progresses.
