Absolutely not.
Brunell's cap hit is too big for the next three years, and Gibbs has been through too much crap for the Brunell trade and keeping Ramsey on the bench (to groom him for when his time comes-- and it will come) to go through that again with another young quarterback that he won't be comfortable with as a starter next season.
If you think Gibbs is enduring too much criticism now for the whole Brunell debacle, imagine how much more intense that criticism will become if he makes a move to acquire another young-- and expensive-- quarterback who will have to spend another season being groomed while Brunell continues to start.
If you believe that Gibbs' word is bond and his decisions are above reproach-- which is the mantra I've been hearing from a lot of folks through this whole mess-- then why would Gibbs say that Patrick Ramsey is the future of the Redskins franchise (and he has said that more than once, and in the not-so-distant past), if he isn't indeed the future of the Redskins franchise?
If you think Gibbs is just saying that because "it's the right thing to say right now," then I guess he's just blowing smoke up our collective butt about how Brunell's "fighting his guts out" and "is the best chance for this team to win right now" too, isn't he?
