Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Why Gibbs is Sticking with Brunell..my opinion that is.

Everyone keeps on saying, give Brunell more time, wait for him to get comfortable in this offense, patience, patience.

What if that never happens? What if what we're seeing is as good as it will get?

When do we finally reach the point that enough is enough?

Is it after 3 or 4 more losses and the season is a wash?

Or do we bite the bullet now and commit to letting Ramsey start the rest of the games?

I'm not advocating a constant QB shuffle. I'm suggesting Gibbs make a permanent change to turn things around, NOW, when there is still something left to salvage of this season.

And a final note, I was very disappointed to hear Gibbs point the finger at the O-line and at receivers not running proper routes. I heard absolutely zero blame placed on Brunell by Gibbs. Gibbs is either in denial or being very hard-headed here. What good does it do to finger other parts of the offense? Hasn't Gibbbs always been a coach who preaches that a team lives and dies together? Funny that his criticism doesn't extend to Brunell.
