I too, questioned the QB move, but it has been brought up in many posts how Gibbs is building the franchise and not just trying to "win now". I definitely agree before we have complete flipouts (offiss, you are freaking out dude), we trust in judgement even if it IS questionable. I too, would have liked Williams, but it seems there is a rhyme and a reason to it all when all the highly intelligent minds here have posted good arguments for it.

I Know!

But theres a reason, I am ususally, USUALLY, right on the money with my talent evaluation.

Now here's something you should know, Ramsey is a borderline genious, Brunell is a long time vet and pro bowler, and neither could run Gibbs offense. Now that is going to mean 1 of 2 things, either Gibbs offense was horrible regardless of who was behind center, or Brunell and Ramsey are just to dumb to grasp it, and may need another year of work to understand and execute it.

With that being said how long do you think it will take the wonderlik wonder to learn this system from the bench? Remember this is the day of salary cap and you can't keep a #1 on the bench for 3 to 4 years, and as I said in another post before we drafted him, he will be a long term waste of time and money, I hope everyone now understands that Brunell is our primary backup, PERIOD! There is no way this kid is getting on the field [legitamitly] for at least 2 years, at least!

Sorry if I am flipping out, but I get worked up when a team I have rooted for my whole life does something this stupid that I know will hold us back. Just like last year when I said no Brunell, he's the last QB I want in Gibbs pocket passing offense, and flipped when we gave up a pick and 43 mil, guess who was right? OFFISS, not Gibbs!

Has anyone heard 1 annalist, just 1, say what a great pick this was? Or we recieved great or even decent value for what we gave up? ANYONE?
